The invention relates to a fabric take-up device comprising a take-up roller (2), a press roller (3), a lever (4) inserted in the press roller (3), and a lever (5), where the lever (4) has a first end (41) protruding from the press roller (3), a second end (42), and an elongated portion (43) elongated between the first end (41) and the second end (42), and where the lever (4) is mounted using the lever (5) at the first end (41), where the lever (5) exerts a force towards the take-up roller (2) towards the lever (4), and where the lever (5) exerts a force against the lever (4) at the second end (42). Wherein at the first end (41), the lever (4) is provided with a cutout (6) extending transversely to the longitudinal direction (40) of the lever (4) for forming a top
abutment surface (62) at which the bottom contact surface (51) of the lever (5) contacts the lever (4) for applying a force to the lever (4) towards the take-up roller (2), and wherein the top
abutment surface (62) is configured to interact with the bottom contact surface (51) of the lever (5) for applying a force to the lever (4) towards the take-up roller (2). The rotation of the rod (4) about an axis extending in the longitudinal direction (40) of the rod (4) is prevented. The invention further relates to a method for mounting a rod (4) in a fabric take-up device (1).
