Abstract

Internally of a winding core or body there is arranged a supply spool for a winding band and which supply spool is rotatably mounted upon a shaft of the winding core. The supply spool can be driven by means of a drive unit possessing a drive roll attached to a pivotable arm. Externally of the winding core or body there is arranged a spool member which serves as a intermediate storage for the winding band. Prior to winding-up the continuously arriving products upon the jacket or outer surface of the winding core or body there is wound-up upon the spool member the length of the winding band needed for forming the product package. For this purpose the supply spool is driven by the drive unit. Consequently, the winding band is forwardly advanced by a guide means provided at a rocker member and thereafter guided by a further rocker member towards the spool member. For winding-up the winding band upon the spool member the latter is driven by a drive motor. In each case there is only wound-up upon the spool member that length of the winding band which is needed for forming the product package upon the winding core or body. For winding-up the product formation upon the winding core or body…
