摘要

A machine of the type capable of using strips of material wound in reels, for example wrapping, packaging and cellophane wrapping machines for cigarettes, or similar, the machine comprising at least one unwinding spindle of a reel of a strip of material which is supported in or which may be brought into a predetermined unwinding operating position; a store for at least one further reel to replace the empty reel on the spindle; means of transferring one replacement reel at a time from the store to the unwinding spindle in the operating position. The unwinding spindle is integrated with the store and forms its end on the output side. Advantageously, the store consists of a supporting bar on which the cores of the reels are threaded and whose front free end carries the spindle coaxially.
