A sheet feeding device includes a sheet feeding unit and a feed unit. The sheet feeding unit includes a housing having a pair of wall portions. The feed unit includes a pickup roller and a sheet feed roller. The feed unit includes a holder, a shaft and a pair of bearing portions. The holder has a pair of side walls each having a bearing hole portion. The shaft extends between the pair of side walls. The pair of bearing portions are mounted in the bearing hole portions and rotatably supports the shaft. The housing includes a pair of shaft supporting portions provided on the pair of wall portions and capable of supporting the bearing portions. The feed unit is attached to the housing and the holder swings with the outer peripheral parts of the bearing portions, whereby the pickup roller is vertically movable.

A sheet conveyor includes: a chute which has openings spaced apart from each other in a first direction and guides a sheet; a drive shaft; drive rollers mounted on the drive shaft and each partly protruding from the chute through a corresponding one of the openings; driven rollers each urged and contactable with a corresponding one of the drive rollers; an intermediate bearing disposed at a first position located between adjacent two of the drive rollers; and a holder provided on the chute to hold the intermediate bearing located at the first position. The intermediate bearing is in contact with an outer circumferential surface of the drive shaft when located at a second position different from the first position. The intermediate bearing is slid from the second position to the first position in the first direction and held by the holder at the first position.

A dispenser assembly for dispensing a sheet from a roll of sheet material having a longitudinal axis, including: a roll holder for removably holding the roll of sheet material, which is free to rotate relative to the roll holder; a base for supporting the roll holder and for coupling the dispenser assembly with an environment structure; and a pair of coupling elements including a first element coupled to the roll of sheet material and a second element integral to the roll holder, the first element being coupled in a free to rotate and removable manner relative to the second element by magnetic coupling. The first element includes a contacting portion extending transversally relative to the longitudinal axis, which is adhered to a lateral edge of the roll of sheet material and arranged to at least partially recover the lateral edge so that the first element is fixedly secured to the roll of sheet material.

A sheet feeding device includes a sheet feeding unit and a feed unit. The sheet feeding unit includes a housing having a pair of wall portions. The feed unit includes a pickup roller and a sheet feed roller. The feed unit includes a holder, a shaft and a pair of bearing portions. The holder has a pair of side walls each having a bearing hole portion. The shaft extends between the pair of side walls. The pair of bearing portions are mounted in the bearing hole portions and rotatably supports the shaft. The housing includes a pair of shaft supporting portions provided on the pair of wall portions and capable of supporting the bearing portions. The feed unit is attached to the housing and the holder swings with the outer peripheral parts of the bearing portions, whereby the pickup roller is vertically movable.

A sheet conveying device includes a driving roller, a driven roller and a pair of bearing members. The pair of bearing members is configured to rotatably support both ends of a rotating shaft of the driven roller. The bearing member has a supporting part and a pressing part. The supporting part is formed by winding an end portion on one side of a wire rod in a spiral shape. The supporting part has a shaft hole through which one end of the rotating shaft can be inserted. The pressing part is formed by winding an end portion on the other side of the wire rod in a spiral shape in an orthogonal direction to the rotating shaft. The pressing part is disposed so as to press the supporting part in a direction in which the driven roller comes into pressure contact with the outer face of the driving roller.

A film winding system is disclosed having a first winding station which is configured in a winding position to wind the film web into a film bale. A contact roller and a compensating roller are provided, wherein the contact roller is arranged adjacent to the first winding station in the winding position and is configured to guide the film web to the first winding station. The compensating roller is located before the contact roller in the direction of travel of the film web and is configured to guide the film web to the contact roller and to set a film tension. A first adjustment device is provided and configured to move the contact roller towards the winding station or away from the winding station, thereby enabling the setting of a specific contact pressure between the contact roller and the film bale. The first adjustment device comprises a slide system or an adjusting spindle.

A sheet conveying apparatus includes a first roller, a second roller, a bush member, an urging member, and a conveyance guide member. The urging member urges the bush member in such a direction that the second roller approaches the first roller. The conveyance guide member is fitted to the rotation shaft of the second roller to be movable between a guiding position in which the conveyance guide member guides the sheet, and a retracted position in which the conveyance guide member is retracted from the guiding position, and it contacts, in the retracted position, a body frame to move the bush member against the urging force of the urging member in such a direction that the second roller separates from the first roller.

An improved cable reel stand for rotational support of a cable reel comprising a spool and a length of cable wound thereon, which spool is carriable by an axle spanning axially through said spool. Two stanchions of the stands carry two respective axle cradles, of which on is neighboured by a brake selectively couplable to the axle by a coupling of non-circular profile that cooperates with non-circular internal profiles of the brake and the axle to provide rotational interlocking thereof. The axle cradles are roller cradles serving to self-align the axle into a properly seated position atop two adjacent cradle rollers, and are equipped with hold-downs for positive capture of the seated axle. The axle features a circumferential V-groove for mating with tapered cradle rollers at one of the axle cradles.

Disclosed is a drawing apparatus including: a base member; and a drawing member that is attached so as to be capable of being drawn and pressed in a reciprocating direction with respect to the base member, wherein the base member has a couple application mechanism that applies a couple for correcting skewing of the drawing member with respect to the reciprocating direction to the drawing member as a reaction of a force by which the drawing member is pressed, and wherein the couple application mechanism is configured so that a distance between action lines of two forces generating the couple becomes large as a pressing amount of the drawing member with respect to the base member increases.

Disclosed herein are disposable cable payoff systems that maintain the performance standards required for operation at commercial sites, such as durability during transport from the manufacturer and cable payoff, and low resistance cable payoff. Preloaded cable reels comprising a disposable cable payoff system are also disclosed herein. Methods for providing the preloaded cables reels are also disclosed herein.
