Abstract
The invention is directed to a guide connectable to a paper roll in a paper machine for moving an end of the roll in a direction transverse to a longitudinal axis of the roll. The guide includes a roll mounting frame connectable to the roll, a support frame, and at least one elongate member interconnecting the support frame with the roll mounting frame. The at least one elongate member is elastically deformable in the transverse direction and thereby allows movement of the roll mounting frame relative to the support frame in the transverse direction. A positioning device is engaged with the roll mounting frame for moving the roll mounting frame in the transverse direction and maintaining the roll mounting frame in one of a plurality of positions relative to the support frame.
