Abstract (en)

A device (2) for supplying foil (3) to be used in a printing process to a printing press (1) comprises a unit (11) for supporting at least one coil (10) of the foil (3). This coil supporting unit (11) may comprise two shafts for supporting two coils (10) of the foil (3), wherein the shafts are mounted on a rotatably arranged part (12) of the unit (11), so that it is possible to change positions of the shafts, and to have an automatically performed changing process of coils (10) of the foil (3). Furthermore, in order to allow for a temporary standstill of the foil (3) in a path near the coil supporting unit (11) when a coil changing process takes place and still ensuring a supply of foil (3) to the printing press (1), buffer means (19) for storing a length of the foil (3) are provided, which are arranged at a position downstream of the coil supporting unit (11).
