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. In order to allow the ticket to be dispensed in a row of the tickets from a dispensing machine with an optical sensor, a patch of an opaque or semi-opaque material is applied onto the substrate at a location to cooperate with the sensor while it is operating to detect ticket location.

A sheet processing system according to an embodiment includes a tray that supports a sheet on opposite sides of the sheet orthogonal to a conveyance direction of the sheet. The tray includes a first adjustable support and second adjustable support positioned opposite the first adjustable support in the direction orthogonal to the conveyance direction of the sheet. A skew sensor detects a skew angle of the sheet conveyed to the tray. A corner sensor detects positions of each corner on a front end in the downstream direction of the sheet conveyed to the tray. A controller controls movement of the first and second adjustable supports based on the detected skew angle and the detected positions of each corner on the front end of the sheet conveyed to the tray so that the sheet is conveyed to the tray without jamming.

A station (100, 110) for inspecting rolled strips wound in coils, comprises: a first pair of mutually opposed pinch rolls (3, 4), adapted to receive and feed a rolled strip (1) from a coil (10); a carriage (7) sliding between a first start position, near said first pair of pinch rolls (3, 4), and a second end position, said sliding carriage (1) comprising a gripping member to grasp said rolled strip (1) coming from said first pair of pinch rolls (3, 4), said carriage allowing the strip to be unwound without contact with a surface (S1) to be inspected.

Disclosed is a film discharging device including a supply unit configured to supply a film product, a branch unit including a branch conveyer configured to transfer a film product supplied from the supply unit, and a conveyer rotating member configured to selectively guide the branch conveyer passing through the branch conveyer to any one of a predetermined first branch path and a predetermined second branch path by rotating the branch conveyer in a predetermined forward direction or a reverse direction opposite to the forward direction to change an alignment angle of the branch conveyer, a first discharging unit configured to discharge the film product guided to the first branch path, and a second discharging unit configured to discharge the film product guided to the second branch path.

Some sheet product dispensers disclosed herein are configured to dispense from a sheet product roll that includes a plurality of predetermined portions that are designed for providing a toilet seat cover. A line of perforations separates consecutive portions. A motor operates to drive the drive roller to cause movement of the sheet product along a dispensing pathway to position a leading predetermined portion of the sheet product into a dispensing position such that the trailing edge of the leading predetermined portion is positioned within the housing and the leading edge of the leading predetermined portion is positioned outside the dispensing chute to enable removal of the leading predetermined portion. Staged dispensing is utilized to help maintain hygiene, while still quickly providing the dispense. Perforation tear assist features are provided to aid in proper separation of the line of perforations, such as to help maintain integrity of the dispensed portion.

Material holders for use with a structure (e.g., a stand, tool box, etc.) may include material holding apparatus configured to hold a roll and/or box of material. The material holding apparatus may be configured to hold various material in an organized, open, and unobstructed manner to provide convenient access to the material.

A process for the production of multipage information leaflets or slips, the information leaflet provided with a booklet structure including two or more pages, the process including in sequence the steps of: loading and feeding of a ream of sheets printed on one or both sides, taking of a single sheet from the ream and gluing along an edge portion of the single sheet, multiple folding of the single sheet on itself along the glued portion to define a folded sheet, cutting of the folded sheet to define the multipage information leaflet with the pages connected one to the other only at a joining area in proximity of an edge, pressing of the information leaflet at the joining area, accumulation and collection of the finished information leaflets and optional rejecting of the leaflets which do not comply with the production specifications.

A paper compartment in which roll paper can be held has an opening positioned along the second axial end of the roll paper and a wall positioned along the first axial end of the roll paper in the axial direction. The paper loading member can be removably installed in the paper compartment through the opening. The paper loading member has a flange and a roll support member that projects from the flange and is inserted into the paper. When roll paper is held in the paper compartment, the paper loading member is installed in the paper compartment with a first side of the flange contacting the first axial end of the paper, and the roll support member is inserted into the roll paper. When the paper loading member is installed in the paper compartment, the first side of the flange faces the opening.

A medium placement device configured to have a medium discharged from a discharge unit of a processing device placed therein, and includes: a placement unit including a plurality of placement surfaces, with different angles with respect to a horizontal direction, that are disposed along a discharge direction of the medium, the placement unit being configured to have the medium discharged from the discharge unit placed thereon; and a plurality of restricting members disposed facing the placement unit along the discharge direction, the plurality of restricting members being configured to come into contact with the medium from above. In an initial state in which the medium is not placed, a distance in a gravitational direction between a first end of each of the plurality of restricting members on a placement unit side and one of the plurality of placement surfaces that faces the first end in the gravitational direction is constant.

A fort lift tool holder apparatus. The fork lift tool holder includes a spindle with a cutting component for storing and dispensing a roll of materials for wrapping a pallet of goods, storing for plural types of cups and/or bottles and plural types of writing utensils. The fork lift tool holder includes connection components usable on plural different types of fork lifts with plural different types of structural components (e.g. round, square, rectangular, etc.).
