This invention relates to a creel structure integrated on the fiber placement head of the automated placement equipment, comprising: fiber placement head mounting base, fixed yarn box component fixed and mounted on fiber placement head mounting base, and revolving yarn box component mounted on fiber placement head mounting base, the said revolving yarn box component is coupled with the fiber placement head mounting base through revolving shaft. This creel structure can avoid intervention that arise due to equipment maintenance and spindle replacement, making equipment maintenance and spindle replacement more convenient and swift.

We disclose a sheet of twist-free cling wrap, comprising opposing multi-ply flaps and opposing thumb tabs. The flaps have concealed integral hooks which connect sheets to one another in a series. Rigid extensions to the sheet lodge beneath a dispensing slit to dispense one sheet at a time.

Systems for providing efficient manufacturing of paper, sheet, and/or box products of varying size and structure, often with pre-applied print (pre-print), are provided herein. Efficient customer ordering/tracking, job aggregation, print imposition, corrugator planning, and tracking and adjustments throughout the manufacturing process are contemplated. A reel editor is configured to edit the roll based on waste and/or errors that occurred during various manufacturing processes (e.g., during printing). A control plan defining what is on each roll of printed web product may be updated after editing. Depending on the configuration, the reel editor may be integrated with various manufacturing components. The reel editor may be configured to determine if there is enough waste on the roll to even making editing worthwhile, such as based on desired quality of the images, customer requirements, different price points, among other possible factors.

A spool includes a tube for winding a material. The outer surface of the tube is provided with a step portion along the axial direction thereof. The step portion is as high as the thickness of the material. A cutting groove is provided on a side, close to the axial centre of the tube, of the step portion. An resilient clip for clamping the material is fixed in the cutting groove, the upper end of the resilient clip is connected to a notch on one side of the cutting groove, and the lower end thereof is inclined towards the other side of the cutting groove. The spool positions a cutter by means of the cutting groove, and the resilient clip clamps the cut material in the cutting groove.

A core intended to support a reel of paper, particularly toilet paper, is formed by winding at least one web of cellulose wadding. The core is formed by winding at least one web of cellulose wadding having at least 0.51 g of water-soluble material per gram of cellulose wadding, the water-soluble material being designed to make the web of cellulose wadding more rigid and easier to disintegrate. Thus configured, the core that has both mechanical strength fit for the intended purpose and is far easier to disintegrate than a core mad of cardboard such that it can be disposed of directly in a toilet bowl without the risk of blocking the waste pipe.

The present invention relates to a reel for storing and dispensing a winding material wound on the reel. The reel comprises a hub and side walls each disposed at the axial end faces of the hub and protruding past the outer circumferential surface of the hub in an approximately radial direction, the storage space defined by the surfaces of the side walls facing toward each other and the outer circumferential surface of the hub and surrounding the hub serving for receiving the winding material. The hub is at least double-walled in design, having a first hub wall and having a second hub wall spaced radially apart from the first hub wall. Moreover, the reel is formed of two reel halves identical in design.

A system, method, and material for encouraging study or mastery of a fibre art skill is provided. A fibre source material is incentivized to encourage individuals learning or mastering a fibre art skill by concealing a tracker in the fibre material or attaching it to the packaging of the fibre material. The tracker may be a coupon, token, or ticket that reveals a code, number, or some other form of identifier associated with an incentive. The tracker is revealed upon unwinding the fibre material while performing the fibre art skill, which allows the individual to exchange the revealed tracker for an incentive at, for example, a specific store, online, or through some other specified manner

A cord storage and retrieval apparatus that is operable to be engaged with a midpoint area of undesired slack of a cord so as to wind and store a portion of the cord wherein the ends of the cord remain available or operably coupled to an object. The cord storage and retrieval apparatus includes a lower portion and an upper portion that are rotatably coupled. A channel and sidewall openings are formed within the lower portion so as to facilitate engagement of a cord. A shaft with a slot is operably coupled to the upper portion and extends downward therefrom so as to rotatably engage an aperture formed within the channel. A ceiling structure, couplings, keepers, and connectors are included in some embodiments to facilitate separation movement, rotational resistance control and/or locking functionality. The shaft is further configured to receive a topside locking member from a second unit for stacking purposes.

Disclosed herein is a device for preventing the twisting and slipping of a fish tape. The device for preventing the twisting and slipping of a fish tape includes: a tube body formed in an arc shape, and configured such that a wire is wound therein; a wire entry prevention tube connected from the outside of the tube body to one side of the tube body so that the insides of the wire entry prevention tube and the tube body communicate with each other, and configured such that one end of the wire is inserted thereinto; and a slipping prevention member provided inside the wire entry prevention tube, and configured to support the wire inserted into the wire entry prevention tube and prevent the one end of the wire from slipping into the inside of the tube body.
