An assisting apparatus includes: a shaft member that is insertable into a winding core of a roll around which a sheet is wound; a moving member movable in a vertical direction, the moving member including the shaft member; and a detector configured to detect a position of the moving member in the vertical direction. The assisting apparatus is configured to assist in an operation of aligning a position of the roll in the vertical direction in a state in which the shaft portion is inserted in the winding core. The assisting apparatus includes a notifier configured to provide a notification when the detector detects that a position of the moving member in the vertical direction reaches a predetermined target position.

A rewinding machine for convolutley winding a web material onto a core to is disclosed. The rewinding machine comprises a first winding drum rotatable at a first peripheral velocity, a second winding drum opposed to the first winding drum and rotatable at a second peripheral velocity, and a core support for gripping opposing ends of the core. The core support grips opposing ends of the core during winding of the web material about the core. The core support has first and second rotatable pins each having corresponding first and second ends capable of insertion into a respective end of the core. The first rotatable pin has a channel that provides fluid communication between a source of positive pressure disposed external to the first rotatable pin and the second end of the first rotatable pin to provide positive pressure to the interior portion of the core.

A rotary spool spinner for wire dispensing that includes: a plurality of wire dispensers, where said wire dispensers are secured onto a vertical post, wherein each dispenser includes a flat circular plate that is mounted onto a support bracket secured with a nut; a guide aligned with each dispenser, where each guide is supported within framing between support posts; top stabilizing rods attached to the vertical posts and support posts creating frame support; and a base, where the base is supported on wheels and said base is attached to the vertical posts and support posts. The wire dispenser may be secured to the vertical post by a swing arm with a pin. The support bracket preferably includes a spring-loaded clutch.

A waterproof rolling paper dispensing apparatus which comprises an inner cylinder which is closed at one end and open at an opposite end thereof. The inner cylinder has an elongate slit and supports a cutting edge which facilitates cutting of a length of rolling paper from a continuous roll of rolling paper accommodated within the inner cylinder. An exterior housing is dosed at one end and open at an opposite end thereof. The exterior housing defines an internal storage compartment which stores the inner cylinder. An end cover releasably engages with the open end of the exterior housing and forms a waterproof seal therewith. The end cover also releasably engages with the open end of the inner cylinder so that when the end cover is removed from engagement with the exterior housing, the inner cylinder remains coupled to the end cover and is removed with the end cover.

A multi-position tape dispenser preferably includes a base member, an axle support member and a plurality of tape axles. The base member includes a front member and a rear support member. The front member is attached to a front of the rear support member. The axle support member includes a plurality of tape spaces and a plurality of axle retention slots. Ends of the axle support member are preferably attached to left and right walls of the rear support member. Each tape axle includes an axle support portion, a left retention tab and a right retention tab. The left and right retention tabs of the tape axle are inserted into the two axle retention slots. In a first embodiment, two axle support members are retained in the base member. In a second embodiment one axle support member is retained in the base member.

A portable hook and loop strip dispenser includes a base, a movable claw, a button, and a spring. The base has a protrusion column and a stopper block disposed in the protrusion column, in which a roll portion of the hook and loop strip is sleeved onto the protrusion column. The movable claw is liftably disposed in the protrusion column, and a claw hook of the movable claw is extended out of the protrusion column or retracted into the protrusion column along with the movable claw lifting or lowering in the protrusion column. The button is rotably and liftably disposed on the protrusion column and borne on the movable claw, and the button is in a locked state or an unlocked state due to rotation. The spring abuts between the protrusion column and the movable claw and constantly drives the movable claw to lift in the protrusion column.
