  • the front element of the chassis comprises, on the one hand, a flexible support forming a clamp, into which the free end of the sheath can be clipped in order to maintain it between two samples, or during a cutting operation. during a sampling, and on the other hand, a transverse roller disposed in the immediate vicinity of the clamp to facilitate unwinding.
  • the flanges of the coil comprise at least one stop plate produced on their respective periphery and capable of constituting a means for immobilizing the coil in rotation, when it is waiting on the ground, for its gripping by the chassis.
  • At least one of the flanges of the coil has a plurality of studs arranged in relief on its external face and regularly distributed equidistant from the center, so as to facilitate, on the one hand, its removal from a stack by the forks of an elevating machine and bring it close to the self-supporting chassis and, on the other hand, to ensure its balance on the ground before being tilted horizontally to be taken up by the support arms of said chassis via the forks.
  • a film of stretchable plastic material is continuously arranged forming a strip of width such as to allow it to overlap, and consequently to ensure the retention of the sheath turns. unreeled remaining in tablecloth compared to those unwound having returned to their natural slender shape.
  • the unwinder designated 1 as a whole in the Figures, is generally constituted by a self-supporting chassis 7, on which a spool 2 is mounted in a swiveling manner formed by a cylindrical core 3 provided at its ends with two flanges 4, 5 of larger diameter, so as to be able to contain a plurality of superimposed layers of coiled sheath 6 able to unwind under the effect of manual voluntary traction.
  • the chassis 7 forms a rigid frame comprising two lateral parts 7a, 7b which are mutually parallel and perpendicular to the ground 8, on which it is intended to rest.
  • the lateral parts 7a, 7b of the chassis 7 are constituted by lateral support arms 9, 10 directed upwards, and the free ends 9a and 10a of which are suitable for receiving the ends 11a, 11b of an axis 11 passing right through the coil 2 and emerging from the flanges 4, 5 of the coil 2.
  • the lateral parts 7a, 7b also consist of two horizontal beams 12, 13 extending said support arms 9, 10 at their lower part opposite the ends 9a, 10a.
  • the connection of said arms and side members is effected by a curvature of an initially straight tube to form an angle ⁇ , such as to give the assembly its stability, when the coil 2 is in place.
  • the angle ⁇ chosen is equal to 70 °.
  • the parts 7a, 7b thus produced are fixedly joined together by a first spacer 16 arranged between the arms 9 and 10 substantially at their lower part and perpendicularly, and by a second spacer 17 arranged identically between the struts 14 and 15.
  • the longitudinal members 12, 13 of the chassis 7 have two free ends 12a, 13a connected together by a vertical facade element 18 constituting a front part of the chassis 7, integral with two telescopic arms 19, 20 capable of sliding in the longitudinal members for adjusting the length of said chassis 7.
  • the front element 18 of the chassis 7 comprises, on the one hand, a flexible support forming a clamp 21, into which the free end 6a of the sheath 6 can be clipped in order to maintain it between two samples, or during 'A cutting operation during a sampling and, on the other hand, a transverse roller 22 disposed in the immediate vicinity of the clamp 21 to facilitate unwinding.
