A printing apparatus includes a transport unit which includes a transport roller pair which transports a medium in a transport direction, a printing unit which prints onto the medium, a winding unit which winds the printed medium, and a tension application unit which applies a tension to the medium at a position between the transport roller pair and the winding unit. The tension application unit includes a pair of arms which are capable of rotating. A tension bar is supported on one end of the arms and comes into contact with the medium. The bar is rotated from an upper limit position to a lower limit position by transportation of the transport unit being performed two or more times.

At a printer that feeds a continuous paper unwound from a paper sheet supply unit in a sheet-shape to a printing head portion side via a damper portion, and then prints on a label of the continuous paper, in conjunction with an opening and closing operation of the printing head portion of the printing unit, the damper portion opens and closes in a vertical direction.

At a printer that feeds a continuous paper unwound from a paper sheet supply unit in a sheet-shape to a printing head portion side via a damper portion, and then prints on a label of the continuous paper, the damper portion is constituted of an outer damper portion and an inner damper portion, which is disposed at a downstream side of feed of the outer damper portion.

Provided is a winding device capable of speeding up a winding operation while ensuring a winding quality. A feed roller feeds a sheet-like member. A take-up roller takes up the sheet-like member. Each roller guides transportation of the sheet-like member between the feed roller and the take-up roller. A sum of moments of inertia of each free roller is determined so that a variation in a tension applied to the sheet-like member is equal to or less than 16.7 [N/m].

An apparatus to launch, retrieve, and store a recreational floating mat is described. The apparatus can provide the advantages of helping to ease the potential difficulties associated with launching, retrieving and storing recreational floating mats from dock side, pool side or from a floating vessel such as a boat or floating dock.
