Abstract

See full text

A vehicle (12) which can be coupled to a nondriven carriage (9a) carrying a paper reel (10) and to a further such carriage (9b) carrying a reel core basket (11) by means of electromagnetic coupling elements is movable underfloor on a loading track (4) which can be reached via a turntable (3). Said vehicle pulls the latter carriage (9b) from a storage track (8) onto a sliding platform (5), from which it is pushed to a reel stand (6), where the reel core basket (11) receives a reel core before the carriage (9b) is pushed back onto the storage track (8). Thereafter, the vehicle (12) travels to the waiting station of the carriage (9a) carrying the paper reel (10), couples, pulls it onto the sliding platform (5), uncouples and travels onto the storage track (8). After the paper reel (10) has been received by the reel stand (6), the vehicle (12) travels back onto the sliding platform (5), couples again to the carriage (9a) and pushes it back to the waiting station. The vehicle (12) has two pairs of wheels, one of which is drivable, and a pair of pressure wheels which, in a starting position, project beyond the pairs of wheels and can be pressed downwards against an elastic restoring force.
