Abstract

A device for winding a web of material includes a slotted shaft and a motor. The slot in the shaft is oriented along the longitudinal axis of the shaft, and the slot is open on one end of the shaft. The slot is adapted to receive the edge of the web. The motor is connected to the shaft and adapted to rotate the shaft to thereby wind the web.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A device for winding a web of material comprising: 
 a slotted shaft wherein the slot is oriented along the longitudinal axis of the shaft, wherein the slot is open on one end of the shaft, and further wherein the slot is adapted to receive the edge of the web, and    a motor connected to the shaft and adapted to rotate the shaft and thereby wind the web.    
     
     
         2 . A device for winding a web of material as described in  claim 1 , wherein the motor is a clutch motor.  
     
     
         3 . A device for winding a web of material as described in  claim 1 , wherein the motor is actuated by a foot pedal.  
     
     
         4 . A device for winding a web of material as described in  claim 2 , wherein the motor is actuated by a foot pedal.  
     
     
         5 . A device for winding a web of material as described in  claim 1 , wherein the motor is connected directly to the shaft.  
     
     
         6 . A device for winding a web of material as described in  claim 1 , wherein the motor is connected to the shaft by a belt and pulley apparatus.  
     
     
         7 . A device for winding a web of material as described in  claim 1 , further comprising a movable frame, and wherein the motor and shaft are mounted onto the frame.  
     
     
         8 . A method of winding a web of material comprising: 
 providing a slotted shaft wherein the slot is oriented along the longitudinal axis of the shaft, wherein the slot is open on one end of the shaft, and further wherein the slot is adapted to receive the edge of the web, and a motor connected to the shaft and adapted to rotate the shaft and thereby wind the web;    inserting an edge of the web into the slot in the shaft,    actuating the motor to wind up the web, and    sliding the wound web off the shaft.    
     
     
         9 . A method of winding a web as described in  claim 8 , wherein actuation of the motor comprises pressing a foot pedal.
