A supply roll for a wrap system of a baler implement includes a core having a circumferential wall surface forming a cylindrical shape concentric with a central longitudinal axis. A wrap material includes a length wound about the circumferential wall surface of the core, and defines an exterior circumference. The core and the wrap material cooperate to define a combined center of gravity. An axial position identifier is disposed on the exterior circumference of the wrap material, and is positioned relative to the combined center of gravity to define a desired lift location.

An image forming apparatus, comprises: a setting unit configured to set a divider region in a group of images that are continuously printed during feeding from a feeding apparatus in which a roll-shaped printing medium has been set, the divider region being for separating the roll-shaped printing medium into a plurality of rolls. The setting unit sets the divider region based on the number of rolls indicating the count of the plurality of rolls, the number of rolls being required in terms of a configuration of a post-processing device that executes post-processing with respect to the roll-shaped printing medium on which printing has been performed by the printing unit.

A winding machine (10) for winding and/or unwinding band-shaped or strip-like material (12) has at least one rotary plate (16), which is arranged on a pivot arm (24) and can be driven by means of at least two opposite coupling elements (20, 22), at least one coupling element (20) being associated with the rotary plate (16), and the rotary plate (16) being transferrable by means of a pivot device (30) between at least one decoupled state and at least one coupled state. Because the coupling elements (20, 22) can be positioned opposite one another in a coupling position in a sensor-based manner, this allows a coupling process which is as wear-free as possible.

A print medium feeding device removes a second sheet from a print medium that is in a state in which a first sheet, the second sheet, a the third sheet are superposed, superposes the first sheet and the third sheet, and feeds the first sheet and the third sheet to a printing device. The print medium feeding device includes: a first roller configured to come into contact with the third sheet and to be driven to rotate by movement of the third sheet; a second roller configured to come into contact with the first sheet and to be driven to rotate by movement of the first sheet; a roll-up member disposed upstream of the first roller and configured to roll up the second sheet; and a transmission mechanism configured to transmit a rotational force of the first roller to the roll-up member.

An expansible chuck for holding hollow cylindrical cores used for winding and unwinding sheet material. A portion of the chuck body nearest the flange is stepped up so that the diameter of the chuck near the flange is slightly larger than the diameter of the rest of the chuck. The stepped up portion centers the chuck within the core which helps the expanding elements to uniformly grip the core.

A reversing reel includes a rotor, on which a reel mandrel with a rotary drive for winding strip into a coil is eccentrically arranged. A driven mandrel support device includes a mandrel support that has a bearing head for supporting a free end of the reel mandrel. The bearing head is movable with the reel mandrel when the reel mandrel is transferred from an initial-winding position into a final-winding position. The mandrel support is a first piston-cylinder arrangement, and the mandrel support is supported in a pivotable manner via a mandrel-support bearing on a slide that is movable tangentially to a circular path of the reel mandrel. The inclination of the mandrel support and the position of the bearing head are adjustable such that the mandrel support is oriented in accordance with a resultant force from the weight force of the coil and the tensile force on the strip.

A label holder for a cart is herein disclosed. The cart includes a cart frame, a cart hanging hook supported by the cart frame, and a slotted bar supported by the cart frame. The label holder includes a main body and an orientation block. The main body includes a front end, a rear end, and dividing walls. The dividing walls each define a label slot which is designed to receive a label spool. Each dividing wall defines a hanger hole through which the cart hanging hook passes. The orientation block projects rearwardly from the rear end of the main body and engages the slotted bar of the cart, in use.

A mandrel with a compensating segment, gripper bar, and external body segment making up a key piece configuration. The configuration adjusting the travel path of metal sheet being wound around the mandrel. The metal sheet thereby being wound without resulting imperfections which occur naturally when wrapping material around a cylinder.
