TRANSPORT DEVICE AND RECORDING DEVICE
A transport device includes a transporting belt having an endless shape and configured to transport a medium, a first roller including a first circumferential surface brought into contact with the transporting belt, the first roller being a roller around which the transporting belt is wound, a second roller including a second circumferential surface brought into contact with the transporting belt, the second roller being a roller around which the transporting belt is wound, a pressing section including a bearing unit including a contact portion brought into contact with the first circumferential surface, the pressing section being configured to press the first circumferential surface on an inner side of the transporting belt, and a support portion disposed on an inner side of the transporting belt and configured to support the pressing section.
Printing apparatus
Included are a feeding shaft configured to hold a printing medium, a first transporting belt, a second transporting belt, a first driving roller on which the first transporting belt is wound, a second driving roller on which the second transporting belt is wound, a first driving unit configured to drive the first driving roller, a second driving unit configured to drive the second driving roller, a winding roller on which the printing medium is wound, a first winding roller bearing, a second winding roller bearing, a first load cell configured to detect a load exerted by the printing medium on the first winding roller bearing, a second load cell configured to detect a load exerted by the printing medium on the second winding roller bearing, and a control unit configured to control the first driving unit and the second driving unit based on detection results of the load cells.
Recording device
A recording device including a recording unit that performs recording on a medium by ejecting liquid, a transporting belt that has a base material having a first surface provided with an adhesive layer on which the medium is stuck and a second surface which is a surface opposite to the first surface, and the transporting belt transports the medium, a pressing unit that presses the medium against the transporting belt, a cleaning member that cleans the adhesive layer by contacting the adhesive layer, a storage unit in which water for cleaning the cleaning member is stored, and a cooling unit having a flow path through which water flows and a contacting unit that contacts the second surface. The contacting unit is coupled to the flow path, and contacts the second surface downstream of the pressing unit and upstream of the cleaning member in the revolving direction of the transporting belt.
Automated air-pillow dispenser
A transfer and dispensing apparatus is disclosed for the conveying and separation of packaging material, cushions or pillows when needed by the operator. When a packer working over a conveyor receives a box that requires void fill, an operating switch such as a foot pedal is depressed to dispense pillows from the apparatus and into the box in a connected strip. When the operating switch is released, the apparatus stops dispensing pillows, separates the continuous strip of pillows along a transverse perforation in the strip, and ejects the end of the separated segment. The packer can then complete packing the box by placing the severed end of the pillows into the box, advance to the next box, and repeat the process. The transfer and dispensing apparatus may be positioned in any convenient location including adjacent to, above or attached to the inflation device.

Material and hardware to automatically clean flexible electronic web rolls
Novel materials and devices can remove small defects from long rolls of flexible electronics material while they are in continuous motion. The cleaning materials are designed to remove small particles without transferring defects or damaging the flexible electronics. The device generally consists of variable speed, motor-driven cylinders mounted on moveable brackets. The cylinders are capable of matching the speed of the cleaning material such that the cleaning material is always in contact with the web roll to be cleaned. The brackets are capable of rotating so the same material can be used more than once. Another material is used to remove debris from the cleaning material. A similar device consisting of motor-driven cylinders and moveable is used to apply the debris removal film to the cleaning film, allowing the cleaning film to be used multiple times.

Solid roll product formed from surface rewinder with belt and winding drum forming a winding nest
A rewinding machine winds web material into a log. The machine has a winding drum that is rotatable about a center axis and about which the web material to be wound is directed. A continuous loop is spaced from the winding drum and with the winding drum defines a nip through which the web material is directed when winding the web material into the log. The continuous loop is configured to move in a direction generally opposite of a direction of the winding drum at the nip. The continuous loop is configured to change speed relative to a speed of the winding drum during winding the web material into the log about a lead edge of the web material. The continuous loop is positionable relative to the winding drum at the nip to accommodate winding the web material into the log about the lead edge of the web material and to sever the web material.
