ABSTRACT:
A device for winding a plurality of endless webs of stock material on individual cores on a driven cantilevered support shaft to prepare finished packages of the stock material is provided with a secondary, non-driven cantilevered support shaft located in a first position in proximity to, but spaced from the driven support shaft. The secondary support shaft has a diameter which is substantially equal to the diameter of the driven support shaft, and the secondary support shaft is mounted for movement from its first position to a second position wherein the secondary support shaft and the driven support shaft are in a longitudinal, end-to-end alignment, and are contiguous. While located in its first position, the secondary support shaft is loaded with a plurality of unused cores. Upon conclusion of a winding operation, finished packages are removed from the driven support shaft, while the secondary support shaft is located in its first position. The secondary support shaft is then moved to its second position, and the unused cores are speedily conveyed from the secondary support shaft onto the driven support shaft and secured in position thereon. The secondary support shaft is then returned to its first position, and another winding operation is allowed to commence.
