Abstract:
The present invention provides an improved belted reel which is particularly well suited for the winding of soft, bulky tissue webs and overcomes the limitations of the prior art. The belted reel is capable of providing coordinated web tension and nip control by providing the winding parent roll with two nip points—the first nip formed between the winding roll and the second between the winding roll and a second support drum. Preferably the drum encircled by the endless belt lies above the second support drum and the first and second nip points lie in the same vertical plane.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus for winding a web into a roll comprising:\n a rotatably mounted reel spool having a first rotational axis; an endless belt encircling a rotatably mounted first support drum for rotation along a predetermined path of travel having a winding region and a web transport region, and the winding region is positioned adjacent to the reel spool and creates a first nip region, the first support drum having a second rotational axis positioned above the first rotational axis; a rotatably mounted second support drum having a third rotational axis positioned below the first and second rational axis, the second support drum further positioned adjacent to the reel spool to create a second nip region, wherein the first and the second nip regions are vertically spaced apart from one another and lie in substantially the same vertical plane.
