Method for rolling up definite lengths of mats in unidirectional rolled rolls, and a mat rolling station for performing the method
First Claim
1. A method for rolling up definite lengths of a mats in a unidirectional rolled mat roll, comprising:
- advancing a plurality of mats one after another into a rolling mechanism in flattened out condition, andreleasing each of the plurality of mats from the rolling mechanism in rolled up condition,wherein a first mat in the rolled up condition of the plurality of mats is ejected from the rolling mechanism and caused to roll out therefrom on top of a second succeeding mat in the flattened out condition of the plurality of mats advancing towards the rolling mechanism.

Abstract
Method for rolling up definite lengths of a mats in a unidirectional rolled roll, where mats are advanced one after another into a rolling mechanism in flattened out condition and released from the mechanism in rolled up condition. A rolled up mat is ejected from the rolling mechanism and caused to roll out therefrom on top of a succeeding flattened out mat which advances towards the rolling mechanism. A mat rolling station for performing the method is provided, where a ramp conveyer is provided which advances a flattened mat towards the rolling mechanism. At the rolling mechanism, bending conveyers are provided for advancing the forwardly moving mat sections into a circular bend on the ramp conveyer. A difference of surface speeds of the bending conveyers and the ramp conveyer is controllable by a signal provoked by the advance of a succeeding mat on the ramp conveyer before the rolling mechanism.

- 6. A method for serving a mat rolling station, wherein mats in flattened out condition are advanced on an upwardly inclined ramp conveyer from an input end thereof and conveyed into a rolling station and rolled into a multilayer mat roll, whereby a rolled up mat in the rolling station is caused to be ejected therefrom towards the input end of the inclined ramp conveyer rolling against the surface speed of the inclined ramp conveyer, and wherein the rolled up mat exiting the mat rolling station rolls on top of an advancing mat on the inclined ramp conveyer.
