A packing dispenser may include a face plate including a spout having a conical shape, first side walls connected to the face plate, a first roll shelf including a first base connected to the first side walls, a second roll shelf substantially orthogonal to the first roll shelf including a connecting plate, a second base, and second side walls and the connecting plate connects the second roll shelf to the first base of the first roll shelf. The paper dispenser allows for multiple rolls of packing material to be placed inside and interconnected such that multiple rolls can be used in the dispenser before more rolls of packing material are needed.

A binding device binds a material strip reel on which a contact material strip is wound. The binding device includes a frame, a tape supply unit installed on the frame for supplying an adhesive tape, a first damper and a second damper mounted on the frame for clamping the adhesive tape, and a first roller and a second roller installed on the frame. The first roller and the second roller push and paste the adhesive tape between the first damper and the second damper onto a pair of opposite sides of the material strip reel.

A paper sorting device includes: a stacking conveyor that receives continuously fed cut sheets to stack the cut sheets by sorting unit and that continuously conveys stacked cut sheets downstream on a unit-by-unit basis; and a stacker section arranged downstream of the stacking conveyor, capable of continuously stacking the stacked cut sheets conveyed from the stacking conveyor, at different positions on a placement surface.

A sheet shredding device includes a stacking unit configured to stack paper; a cutting unit configured to cut paper supplied from the stacking unit; a transferring unit configured to transfer paper from the stacking unit to the cutting unit; and removing units configured to remove a binder attached to the paper. The removing units are provided so as to overlap in a transfer direction of the paper along a transfer path of the paper from the stacking unit to the cutting unit.

A process for the production of books (22) with digital printing from signatures, in which the book comprises signature groups (33), each formed with basic sheets (34), are parts of respective signature sheets (42). The process employs a manufacturing system (21) which includes a transversal cutting equipment (41) for cutting transversally the signatures sheets, and transversal and longitudinal folding equipment (46) for the formation of respective signatures (48). For a book with at least a sheet section devoid of text and/or figures in a last signature group, the method provides: a) identify a reduced signature group (59) including a number of sheet sections having at least a page with text and/or figures; b) cut the paper strip (23) to separate the reduced signature group as reduced signature group; c) actuate the transversal folding equipment (46) limited to the sheet sections having at least a page with text and/or figures and skipping the actuation of the transversal folding equipment (46) for a single sheet section; and d) actuate the longitudinal folding equipment (47) for folding longitudinally the reduced signature group.

A device for releasing sections from a material web has a vacuum cutting cylinder and a counter cylinder for cutting the sections. The device also has a vacuum transfer roll for removing the sections from the vacuum cutting cylinder and a conveyor belt, onto which the sections are capable of being deposited from the vacuum transfer roll.

A lottery ticket is printed on a substrate sheet material having a front surface with lottery game indicia printed thereon and a removable covering material, typically scratch-off material, covering the lottery game indicia which is removable by a player to expose the game indicia for playing the game and other game information printed on the substrate sheet material where at least part of the substrate sheet material is formed of a translucent synthetic material to enable viewing through the part by the player.

An electrode roll connection automation apparatus is configured for uniformly maintaining the width of electrode tabs in a process of connecting electrode sheets to each other and for automatically connecting the electrode sheets to each other. The electrode roll connection automation apparatus includes first and second supply units, a connection unit, and an electrode tab sensing unit. The first and the second supply units are configured to supply first and second electrode sheets, respectively, on which electrode tabs are formed. The connection unit is configured to connect the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet to each other. The electrode tab sensing unit is disposed between the first supply unit and the connection unit. The electrode tab sensing unit is configured to measure the distance between the electrode tabs.
