Patent ID: 7055776

Claim:
A device for continuous winding of webs onto winding shafts or winding cores to winding rollers, comprising: a winding shaft or a winding core; a pressure roller that can be engaged on the winding shaft or winding core, said pressure roller being movable by a drive mechanism; a cutting element for severing the web during a winding roller change to form a new web start portion; and a start winding device to start winding of the new web start portion onto the winding shaft or winding core, said start winding device including a charging electrode that is equipped with at least one electrostatic charge; said cutting element and said start winding device being arranged, in a traveling direction of the web, behind a point at which the pressure roller touches the winding shaft or winding core when engaged therewith; said start winding device being connected to said pressure roller so that said start winding device moves when said pressure roller is moved by said drive mechanism, with a distance between the charging electrode and the web thus being related to the movement of said pressure roller such that said distance remains substantially constant regardless of a diameter of the winding shaft or winding core; and said pressure roller being supported in a carriage that is movable within a frame, said charging electrode being held between first arms of two-armed levers which are pivotally arranged on side walls of the carriage, second arms of said two-armed levers carrying link components which run along guides on the frame which are designed according to required movements of the charging electrode to maintain said distance.
