A sheet feeding apparatus includes a supporting unit that rotatably supports a roll sheet formed by winding a continuous sheet into a roll shape, a conveying path forming member that is placed in a position spaced apart from the roll sheet supported by the supporting unit, and forms a conveying path of the sheet, and a displacing unit that includes a guide portion capable of being displaced between a guide position and a retracting position set farther from a start position than the guide position. The guide portion is displaced from the retracting position to the guide position when a leading edge of the sheet separated from the roll sheet supported by the supporting unit is positioned between the guide portion in the retracting position and the start position.

A roll changing apparatus, a winding device and a gluing device. The roll changing apparatus comprises: an unwinding assembly (10), which comprises first unwinding mechanism (11) and a second unwinding mechanism (12); a roll changing assembly, which comprises a mounting base (21), a first adsorption mechanism (22), a second adsorption mechanism (23) and a cutting mechanism (24). The first adsorption mechanism (22) comprises a first adsorption base (221), and the second adsorption mechanism (23) comprises a second adsorption base (231); the first adsorption base (221) and the second adsorption base (231) are arranged along a first direction and are configured such that at least one thereamong may approach relative to the other or be away from one another in the first direction; a side of the first adsorption base (221) facing the second adsorption base (231) is provided with a first adsorption area (2211) and a second adsorption area (2212) which are arranged along a second direction which is perpendicular to the first direction; the first adsorption area (2211) is used for adsorbing a first material belt, and the second adsorption area (2212) is used for adsorbing a second material belt; and the cutting mechanism (24) is used for cutting off the first material belt between the second adsorption mechanism (23) and the first adsorption area (2211) or the second material belt between the second adsorption mechanism (23) and the second adsorption area (2212). Automatic switching of a first material belt and a second material belt may be achieved, which greatly reduces downtime and improves production efficiency compared with a manual roll changing method.

An apparatus is disclosed for applying tags with attached elastic anchor bands onto the tops of objects such as bottles in a high speed packaging application. The apparatus includes an infeed assembly for feeding a web, a conveyor assembly that receives a web and conveys it along a path in an upstream direction, a rotating selector wheel, a placement assembly, a pair of rotating jaw assembles, a vacuum cup of the selector wheel, and stretched elastic bands over the tops of respective bottles being conveyed along a path below the placing assembly. The elastic bands then snap onto the tops of their respective bottles to secure the tags to the bottles.

An improved paper band delivery assembly for reliable high speed delivery of a turn-up paper band across a moving web of paper being wound onto a spool. The turn-up paper band is made ready for a turn up procedure by coiling a predetermined length of paper band suitable for a particular machine and retaining the coiled paper band in a reservoir pending deployment across a spool for a turn up procedure. The paper band may be coiled via manual operation or via automated operation. Coiling apparatus may be modularly replaced on a paper making machine. The coiled paper band may be supported within the reservoir on rollers, pins, or other items conducive to fast and reliable uncoiling.

A tape removal apparatus is configured for automatically removing a tape attached to an electrode roll in order to fix the electrode roll. The tape removal apparatus includes a sensing unit configured to sense the tape attached to the electrode roll, an injection unit configured to inject air toward the tape, a support unit configured to support a non-adhesive portion of the tape, and a gripper configured to fix the non-adhesive portion of the tape together with the support unit.

A method for assembling an information handling system display may include attaching a first side of a strip of double-sided tape to a display panel cover. A display panel may then be aligned with the display panel cover, and, when aligned, the display panel may be in contact with a release paper attached to a second side of the double-sided tape. The release paper may then be removed from the double-sided tape while the display panel is in contact with the release paper. A first surface of the display panel may be attached to the second side of the double-sided tape as the release paper is removed.

A roll sheet with a continuous sheet wound in a roll form is rotated in a forward direction to supply the sheet to a printing unit. A sensor whose output is changed in accordance with a distance between the sensor and the sheet is used. A rotation direction of the roll sheet is switched from an opposite direction to the forward direction on the basis of the output of the sensor during rotation of the roll sheet in the opposite direction.

A reel attaching/detaching device that attaches/detaches a reel on which a tape accommodating a component is wound to and from a feeder which feeds out the tape by a drive of a feed-out section and supplies the component, the device includes a feeder set unit configured to be set in a predetermined orientation when the feeder supplies the component, a reel set unit configured to be set in a predetermined orientation when the reel supplies the component, a transfer robot configured to transfer the reel between the feeder set unit and the reel set unit while holding a orientation of the reel, and a control device configured to control the transfer robot so that the reel is detached from the reel set unit and the reel is attached to the feeder set in the feeder set unit, when the reel is set in the reel set unit.

Spindles and cover assemblies for dispensing sheet product for use with coreless sheet product rolls. The spindle may include a hollow cylindrical body, which may have an elongated channel in a sidewall; a rod which extends partially out of the body; and a spring disposed within the body in biasing contact with the rod. The rod may include a flexible tab matingly engaged within the channel, permitting the rod to translate within the hollow cylindrical body without falling out. The hollow cylindrical body may have an end with an opening bounded by an inward facing ledge, and the rod may include a radial ledge, such that the rod can translate within the body but cannot fall out due to interference between the inward facing ledge and the radial ledge. The spindle may include a friction hub disposed about and rotatable around the hollow cylindrical body between ends of the body.
