Recovery table

Abstract

Take-up Table This table allows the transfer of at least a portion of a strip on which images are printed between a first mandrel and a second mandrel. This table comprises: - a horizontal plate (20) on which a slice of the strip slides as it winds onto the first mandrel (8) and unwinds from the second mandrel (6), and - first and second vertical shafts (22, 24), each movable by vertical sliding through a respective circular opening in the plate, between: -- a protruding position in which the first and second shafts are able to be inserted inside, respectively, the first and second mandrels to guide the rotation of these first and second mandrels, and -- a retracted position in which its upper end (34, 36) is flush with or located under an upper face (38) of the plate (20).
