In a manufacturing method of a glass roll, a transport device transports a glass film coupled to lead films via coupling portions. The transport device separates the lead films and/or the coupling portions from a heating roller when the lead films and/or the coupling portions pass by the heating roller.

Provided is a plate material supplying apparatus that can supply a plate material to a plate material feeding device that intermittently conveys a plate material. The plate material supplying apparatus includes: an upper part that conveys a plate material substantially in a direction of a plate material feeding device; a central part that receives the plate material conveyed from the upper part and conveys the plate material in an obliquely vertical downward direction; and a lower part that receives the plate material conveyed from the central part and conveys the plate material substantially in the direction of the plate material feeding device.

A film deposition apparatus includes: a chamber having a film deposition gas introduced thereinto and exhausted therefrom, in which film deposition with the film deposition gas is performed on an object to be treated; and a film conveying part disposed in the chamber and conveying in a roll-to-roll manner a long film that is the object to be treated. The film conveying part includes: a rotatable roller with part of whose peripheral surface the long film comes into contact; and a nozzle pipe for spraying an inert gas onto a region of the roller, the region being not covered by the long film.

The invention concerns a device for unrolling a strip (10) for a stamping machine (1) that allows an accumulation of the strip to be stamped (2) under a pre-unrolled form between at least one stamping spool (3) and a plate press (310) of the stamping machine (1), so characterized in that the device for unrolling a strip (10) comprises: a central drum (11) configured to be led in rotation at a variable advance speed, united in rotation with an axis of the device for unrolling the strip (10), a satellite roller (14) presenting an axis (11) constructed parallel to the axis of the central drum (11), where the satellite roller (14) can be turned around the central drum (11), and the pre-unrolled strip may be rolled around the central drum (11) due to the movement of the satellite roller (14), and a planetary leading device (15) to move the satellite roller (14) around the central drum (11) as a function of the difference of the rotation speeds of the central drum (11) and of an exterior ring (13) of the planetary leading device (15) configured to be led in rotation at a constant speed in the rotation direction contrary to the rotation direction of the central drum (11).pg, 6

The invention also comprises a stamping machine (1) so configured as to place on each sheet the gilded or metallic film of at least one strip to be stamped (2).

A method for feeding a web of printing material in a manufacturing system for producing packages, includes feeding the web from a web-fed printing press to a flat-bed machine for die-cutting or embossing while the printing press is in operation. An inserting device is used for winding the web onto an auxiliary wind-up device, moving a web-guiding element having a roller in a compensatory manner to achieve a temporary standstill of the web by converting a continuous movement of the web into an iterative movement by changing a speed of the web through changes of position of the roller, clamping the web while being cut by using a clamping unit, cross-cutting the web creating a cross cut edge by using a cutting unit adjacent the clamping unit, and inserting the web, cross cut edge first, into the flat-bed machine for at least one of die-cutting or embossing.

A device for inserting a web of printing material into a flat-bed die-cutting and/or embossing machine includes a compensator for converting a continuous movement of the web of printing material into an iterative movement of the web of printing material. A clamping unit clamps the web of printing material, a cutting unit carries out a cross cut through the web of printing material, and an inserting unit transports the web of printing material into the flat-bed die-cutting and/or embossing machine. The device advantageously allows the web of printing material to be automatically clamped, cut and fed to the flat-bed die-cutting and/or embossing machine. As a result, no further stopping of an upstream printing press is required and the amount of waste is reduced. A manufacturing system for producing packages and a method for feeding a web of printing material are also provided.

Webs include print patterns repeated at print pitches. The first web is intermittently fed at the print pitch of the first web by a first pair of feed rollers to a section. The second web is fed at the print pitch of the second web by a second pair of feed rollers to the section. The first web and the second web are fed in a superposed state by a downstream pair of feed rollers from the section. A first tension roller and a second tension roller engaging with the first web and the second web are biased by a biasing member via a linkage.

The present invention relates to a web film movement compensating device for a web film movement compensation between continuous forward movement section and intermittent forward movement section comprising two guide rollers (1, 2) rotating freely in stationary positions between a continuous driving device (5) and an intermittent driving device (6), two compensation rollers (3, 4) rotating freely on two respective pivoting arms (7, 8) oscillating about pivot shafts (11, 12), an elastic element (9) connected to one of the pivoting arms to actuate the corresponding compensation roller to move away from the guide rollers, and a movement transmission mechanism including lever arms and transmission rods (13, 14, 15) transmitting an oscillating movement from one of the pivoting arms (7, 8) to the other. A web film (50) moved by the driving devices is supported on the guide rollers (1, 2) and on the compensation rollers (3, 4) forming a meander.
