Abstract (en)
[origin: ES482171A1] Apparatus for packing ribbon into a storage compartment in regular, uniform pleats. A pair of eccentric rotating feed rolls form a nip gripping the ribbon and alternately extend peripheral portions into the storage compartment beyond fixed stripping elements on opposite sides of the nip to form the ribbon in corresponding folds. The regular folding provides efficient storage and uniform compaction pressures, and permits reliable ribbon withdrawal when the storage compartment is used for an endless ribbon.
