Abstract
A method and apparatus for winding individual articles of flexible material together around a winding axis, wherein at least one endlessly rotating belt contacts the winding axis over a large portion of its circumference. A portion of the belt forms a feed plane for feeding the individual articles to the winding axis. The feed plane is held at a constant position and feeds the individual articles tangentially to the winding axis, regardless of the radius of the winding axis.
