A strap dispenser includes a main body and two loading units. The loading units are configured to receive a strapping roll. The loading units are connected with a connecting member and an elastic member. When in use, a strapping roll is first placed on one of the loading units to be guided and located between the loading units through the connecting member and the elastic member. When the strapping roll is pulled, the strap dispenser can prevent the strapping roll from being jammed or pulled out of the loading units due to the action of the centrifugal force.

An apparatus and method for supporting sheet material, comprising a frame including a first arm and a second arm, the second arm in communication with the first arm to support a roll of the sheet material there-between, and a drive roller for transporting the sheet material from the roll. The first arm and the second arm automatically resize the frame corresponding to the dimensions of the roll of the sheet material to provide constant tension in the roll of sheet material by controlling a position of the roll of the sheet material.

The invention relates to a method for a multitrack provision of web-like interleaved sheet material at a cutting region in which products supplied on multiple tracks are cut into slices and interleaved sheets are introduced which are cut off from the provided interleaved sheet material in the cutting region and for which a normal length is predefined which is dependent on the respective application, in which material webs are removed from at least two material stores which are each associated with one or more tracks; and in which the material consumption of at least one material store is impacted during operation, in particular in dependence on residual quantities in the material stores, in that the length of the interleaved sheets is varied in the respective track or tracks with respect to the normal length at least for this material store.

A wall covering assembly includes a sheet that is rolled onto itself to form a roll. An adhesive layer is coupled to the sheet and the adhesive layer adheres to a support surface thereby retaining the sheet on the support surface for ornamental purposes. A rolling unit is provided and the roll is rotatably coupled thereto thereby facilitating the sheet to be selectively drawn off of the rolling unit. The rolling unit is manipulated thereby facilitating the sheet to be applied to the support surface. A heating unit is coupled to the rolling unit and the heating unit is in thermal communication with the rolling unit. The heating unit selectively heats the rolling unit when the heating unit is turned on thereby communicating the heat to the adhesive layer for activation.

A portable wall base coil unwinding device is disclosed herein that comprises a base caddy having a topside and a bottom side; a turntable positioned above the topside of the base caddy; a lazy Susan swivel connector rotatably connecting the base caddy to the turntable; a wall base coil holder centrally positioned on the turntable, wherein the wall base coil holder is sized and configured to receive and retain a coil of wall base; and at least three freely rotatable and swivable wheels positioned on the bottom side of the base caddy. The present invention provides an improved tool and method for unwinding and positioning/installing a wall cove base material along the base of a wall.

A printer includes: a holding member configured to hold a roll of paper; an elastic member configured to support the holding member so that the holding member is slidable in a vertical direction; a first detection unit configured to detect a position of the holding member; and a second detection unit that detects a near-end of the roll of paper based on a detection result by the first detection unit.

A printer includes a paper roll holder having a shaft, a paper roll storage section, and a print unit. The paper roll storage section has a first support configured to rotatably support the shaft of the paper roll holder when the paper roll holder is inserted into a shaft core of a paper roll, and a second support configured to rotatably support the shaft of the paper roll holder when the paper roll holder is not inserted into the shaft core of the paper roll and at a position where the paper roll holder abuts an outer circumference of the paper roll when the shaft of the paper roll holder is rotatably supported by the second support. The print unit is configured to form an image on paper to be supplied from the paper roll.

The invention relates to an apparatus for a single-track or multitrack provision of web-like interleaved sheet material at a cutting region in which products supplied on one track or on multiple tracks are cut into slices and interleaved sheets are introduced which are cut off from the provided interleaved sheet material in the cutting region, comprising an output device which is configured to eject at least one material web into the cutting region, wherein the output device comprises at least one driven feed roll and at least one counter-unit which forms a feed gap for the material web together with the feed roll.

A cutting device includes a fixed blade and a movable blade that slides with respect to the fixed blade during cutting, the movable blade having a first end that engages with the fixed blade at cutting start and a second end that engages with the fixed blade at cutting end, an urging member connected to the movable blade to urge the movable blade towards the fixed blade and a rotation of the movable blade in a first rotational direction, and a support for the movable blade having a shaft that rotates as the movable blade moves, the shaft having a center portion and first and second ends rotatably connected to the movable blade, wherein points of connection of the first and second ends are at locations that urge a rotation of the movable blade in a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction.

A printing apparatus is configured to perform in a first mode in which a second driving unit drives a second spool to feed out a sheet from a roll to a printing unit via a second guide, the printing unit performs printing on the fed sheet, and a basket unit receives the printed sheet printed on by the printing unit, and a second mode in which a first driving unit drives a first spool to feed the out the sheet from a roll to the printing unit via a first guide, the printing unit performs printing on the fed sheet, and the second driving unit drives the second spool to wind up the printed sheet printed by the printing unit as a roll.
