An apparatus for aligning at least one note of value along a transport path has at least one transport element and at least one first drive unit for driving the transport element. The driven transport element moves the note of value along the transport path in a transport direction. The transport element includes an endless drive belt, which is deflected over at least two rotatably mounted deflecting elements and a second drive unit for displacing one of the deflecting elements along its axis of rotation. By displacing the deflecting element, the note of value contacting the belt is moved obliquely to the transport direction. A further apparatus includes at least one vane wheel by which the note of value is movable transversely to the transport direction.

A conveying unit includes a rotatable roller having a first through-hole between the inside and the outside of the roller. A cylindrical member inside the roller has an opening and defines an annular chamber between the member and the roller. An insert borne by the roller inserted in the first through-hole thereof and contacting an external surface of the cylindrical member has a second through-hole in communication with the outside of the roller and extending through the first through-hole and the annular chamber. The first through-hole of the opening is configured such that, when the roller rotates, the insert transits at the opening, temporarily placing the outside of the roller in fluid communication with the annular chamber via the second through-hole, so that a sheet outside the roller and at the first through-hole is pulled against the roller by aspirating means and is conveyed.

A tape storage system includes a system housing, a tape movement system and a tape head assembly. The system housing has a housing thickness that is not greater than 3.5 inches. The tape movement system is positioned within the system housing. The tape movement system includes a first reel and a second reel. The tape movement system is configured to retain a tape having a tape length of at least 2,000 meters. The tape head assembly is positionable within the system housing. The tape head assembly is configured to at least one of write data to and read data from the tape.

The present invention relates to a film wrinkle removing roller in which pattern rolls coated with rubber are positioned at both ends of a cylindrical roll made of Teflon, and a porous film comes into contact with the roll and the pattern rolls, such that the film may be prevented from wrinkling and a surface of the film may be prevented from being abraded due to friction between the film and surfaces of the rolls.

The present disclosure relates to a residual film winder for a packaging machine, wherein the residual film winder comprises a reception mandrel, a reception sleeve, and at least one film spreader. The reception sleeve is configured to be arranged onto the reception mandrel. The film spreader has a first end and a second end, wherein the first end extends out of the reception sleeve, and the first end has an outer contour extending along its long axis. The outer contour of the film spreader has at least two sections, a first section and a second section, wherein the first and second sections are not parallel to each other.
