Quick connect mechanism for a draw stud assembly
An apparatus for creating holes in a workpiece includes a knockout punch tool having a movable piston. The apparatus also includes a draw stud assembly having a connector attachable to the movable piston, a draw stud, and a quick connect mechanism including mating first and second thread segments on the connector and the draw stud, respectively. The connector and the draw stud are movable between a first relative orientation where the mating first and second thread segments are misaligned to permit axial movement between the connector and the draw stud, and a second relative orientation where the mating first and second thread segments are aligned and engaged to inhibit axial movement between the connector and the draw stud.
Die cutter holding and lifting apparatus
Die cutter holding and lifting systems, apparatuses, and methods for use with custom and commercially available die cutters. According to some examples, a system includes a base, a separation assembly, and an actuation assembly. A separation assembly can be coupled to the die cutter, and the die cutter in combination with the separation assembly can be coupled to the base, such that the actuation assembly can be utilized to cause a separation of die plates of the die cutter for increased productivity in cutting, stamping, or pressing operations involving die cutters.

Blowing device for a cold-product interleaving machine
The present invention is a blowing device to be used in interleaver machines for cold cuts. This blowing device enables the plastic used in interleaving, responsible for separating the cold cuts, to be very thin, not folding or being mispositioned, since the device generates negative pressure between the cold cut slice and the plastic.
Sanitary Tissue Product with a Shaped Line of Weakness
A roll of sanitary tissue product comprising a shaped line of weakness, where the roll of sanitary tissue product may exhibit a roll compressibility of from about 4% to about 10% and a LWP Factor of greater than about 8.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING A CONSUMABLE UNIT FOR AN INHALATION DEVICE
Apparatus for positioning a sub component on a consumable unit for use with an inhalation device including a machine tray support for locating a machine tray of consumable units arranged in an array; a clamp holding a support web including an array of sub components in a position above the machine tray support; and a punch having protrusions configured to engage the array of sub components by displacement of the punch toward the machine tray support to separate the sub components from the support web and locate the sub components on the consumable units, wherein the protrusions include a first protrusion having a first height and a second protrusion having a second height, the second height being greater than the first height, so that the second protrusion engages a sub component before the first protrusion engages a sub component when the punch moves toward the machine tray support.
