Abstract

The invention relates to a roll stand (1') comprising a frame (3') with a roll-holding device (71) for two unwinding stations (A', B'), which frame (3') comprises means (101, 102, 103) for joining, in a roll-changing operation, a material web, which is unwound from a roll (12, 12a) provided with a rotating spindle (171, 181), to a leading end, provided with adhesive, of a material web from another roll (12, 12a) which is similarly provided with a rotating spindle (171, 181), as well as means (108, 109) for cutting off the first-mentioned web and a mechanism for braking the spindles. The invention is further characterized by means (117, 118, 172, 173, 182, 183, 197) for, on the one hand, transferring the rotary moment from the roll spindles (171, 181) to a braking mechanism (115), comprising a free-wheel mechanism (157, 195) arranged to connect the braking mechanism (115) to the roll spindle (171, 181) which is momentarily rotating at the highest speed and on the other hand, at the start of a roll-change operation, transferring an accelerating moment from an acceleration unit (116) to the roll spindles (171, 181), which acceleration unit comprises a free-wheel mechanism (165, 166) arranged to connect the acceleration unit to the roll spindle (171, 181) which is momentarily rotating at the lowest speed.
