Abstract
A method and apparatus for winding a running fabric web uninterruptedly on first and then on second takeup rolls following the formation of a transverse cut is disclosed. The web is driven in a path which includes a loop and the second takeup roll is engaged with the loop to drive the second takeup roll and form with the second roll a nip narrowing in the feed direction of the web. The cut end of the web, now being fed by an auxiliary drive, is introduced into the nip thereby to clamp the web to the second takeup roll. An apparatus for practicing the method is likewise disclosed, the apparatus including a first drive for the first takeup roll, a guide for forming a loop of the fabric, a second drive for feeding the fabric independent of the first drive and mechanism for shifting the second takeup roll into driving engagement with the loop.
