A wrinkle or misaligned winding caused in a separator roll is inhibited. In a slitting apparatus (6), a conveying direction of a first separator (12a) is changed to a first take-up roller (70U) side by a direction changing roller (68), the first separator is conveyed via a take-up assisting roller (69) which is provided between the direction changing roller and a first touch roller (81U) so as to shorten a roller-to-roller distance to the first touch roller, and the first separator which is being wound is pressed onto a take-up surface by the first touch roller.

A wrinkle caused in a separator roll is inhibited. A slitting apparatus (6) changes a conveying direction of a first separator (12a) by a direction changing roller (68) toward a first take-up roller (70U), and conveys the first separator via an assisting roller (69) which is provided between a take-up position of the first separator to be wound and the direction changing roller so as to shorten a conveying distance between the take-up position and a roller immediately before the take-up position.

The condiment package opening device is a cutting tool. The condiment package opening device is configured for use with a soft-sided condiment package. The soft-sided condiment package is typically a sealed single serving package containing an edible substance that is intended: 1) to enhance the flavor of a food; and, 2) to be applied to the food after the food has been prepared for consumption but before the food is consumed. Typical condiments include, but are not limited to, mustard and ketchup. The condiment package opening device forms an opening in the soft-sided condiment package such that the condiment contained within the soft-sided condiment package may be removed through the formed opening. The condiment package opening device comprises a cutting mechanism and an optional housing.

For the defects that manual adhesive tape pasting is low in efficiency and high in cost, and it is difficult to automatically paste adhesive tapes at specified positions of inner and outer surfaces of an item according to a certain length through a handheld box sealer and an adhesive tape seal pasting mechanism, a cantilever type plane automatic adhesive tape pasting device is invented. A liftable two-stage telescopic cantilever adhesive tape pasting head structure, a roller type automatic adhesive tape feeding structure, an adjustable fixed-length cutting structure and a roller type pasting structure are adopted for the device to achieve the automatic adhesive tape pasting on inner and outer side planes of an item. After the item needing adhesive tape pasting is positioned, the pasting process is completely automatically conducted without manual participation, the labor intensity is reduced, the labor efficiency is improved.

A printer comprises a housing which is composed of a box-shaped main body section with an opening on one surface thereof and a cover for opening and closing the opening of the main body section and forming a paper discharge port between the cover and the main body section at the time the cover is located at a position to close the opening; a storage section houses a roll paper; a printing section carries out printing on the paper; a cutter which has a cutting edge used to cut the paper; a support section which supports the cutter in a manner of freely moving between a use position at the time of cutting the paper by the cutting edge and a non-use position close to an edge of the paper discharge port with respect to the use position.

Provided is a method for producing a separator which method less causes a tear in the separator. The method is a method for producing a separator by slitting, in a direction in which a separator original sheet (12b) being porous is conveyed, the separator original sheet (12b) into a plurality of separators (12a), including the steps of: (a) conveying the separator original sheet (12b) in a state where the separator original sheet (12b) is in contact with a roller (77); and (b) slitting the separator original sheet (12b) at a portion where the separator original sheet (12b) is in contact with the roller (77).

A method for horizontally splitting rolled-up web material in the sample thickness. A carbon fiber nonwoven is moved in relation to a knife structure in order to split off a layer or successively several layers from a roll web. The one layer or several layers are continuously removed in the form of a roll from the carbon fiber nonwoven after the splitting process.

A tool for use with wrapping paper is manufactured by a process comprising the step of causing a 3D printer to make the tool using an instruction file which is accessible to the 3D printer. The instruction file includes instructions for a hardware processor which define actions to be taken at and by the 3D printer to manufacture the tool. The tool manufactured in accordance with the instruction file comprises a unitary, plastic stick having a length which extends along an axis of elongation, a broad surface, a bracing surface, and first and second opposing sides extending along the length, separated by a width which is substantially less than the length. The first aide has serrations defined in the plastic stick adjacent the bracing surface. The second side has a non-serrated edge defined in the plastic stick proximate to the bracing surface.
