An electronic dispenser comprising a housing; a feed roller rotatably mounted within the housing; a motor operable to drive rotation of the feed roller, and wherein the motor is at least partially within the feed roller; and wherein actuation of the motor results in a noise level, external to the housing, of less than 53 A-weighted decibels.

A transporting apparatus includes a pressurizing roller that transports a web-like or sheet-like transport target object and a heating roller disposed downstream of the pressurizing roller in a transport path, a first bottom sensor and a first top sensor that are disposed between the pressurizing roller and the heating roller, a measuring section that measures a time from when the transport target object is detected by the first bottom sensor until the transport target object is detected by the first top sensor, and a rotation control section that modifies a rotation speed of the heating roller when a time measured by the measuring section is shorter than a first reference time.

The present invention relates to a pressing cylinder for a material conveying device, in particular for a roller feed, comprising: a piston rod which is configured to engage with a movable component of the material conveying device; a cylinder space which is configured to at least partially guide the piston rod; a piston which is arranged in the cylinder space and which is connected to the piston rod; and a motor; wherein the piston rod comprises a first piston rod element and a second piston rod element which are configured such that a rotational movement of the first piston rod element causes a translational movement of the second piston rod element relative to the piston; wherein the motor is configured to cause the rotational movement of the first piston rod element.

The present invention refers to an apparatus and a method for wrapping a film around an object. The apparatus includes a device capable of being electrostatically charged and capable of transmitting the electrostatic charge to the portion of film that comes out of the carriage. In this way, the fixing of the leading end flap of the film around the object to be wrapped is thus facilitated. In fact, the leading end flap of the film, as soon as it is dispensed, remains stretched out of the carriage and, as soon as it meets the object to be wrapped, it immediately fastens to it due to the attraction force. The rotation is then activated to wrap the film around the object. The apparatus is simple to make, cheap, and highly efficient.

Provided is a plate material feeding device that can achieve reduced power consumption, improve durability, and supply plate material with high precision. A plate material feeding device is provided with a housing, a lower roll, an upper roll, a lower roll support member for supporting the lower roll, an upper roll support member for supporting the upper roll, and a slider movable in the horizontal direction along the upper roll support member, and can feed plate material clamped by the lower roll and the upper roll. A hole is provided in the slider, and a rod is provided in the upper roll support member. By inserting at least part of the rod in the hole in a slidable manner, the upper roll support member can move in the vertical direction when the slider moves in the horizontal direction.
