The coating film transfer tool includes: a feeding core around which transfer tape is wound and that feeds a piece of transfer tape, the piece of transfer tape including a piece of base tape and a coating film that is provided on one surface of the piece of base tape; a transfer head that presses the coating film against a transfer target and transfers the coating film thereonto; a winding core that winds up the piece of base tape from which the coating film has been transferred; and an intermediate roller that rotates as the piece of transfer tape travels, in contact with a first surface of the piece of transfer tape fed from the feeding core, the first surface being a surface on which the coating film is not provided. A second surface of the intermediate roller is adhesive with respect to the first surface.

A kit for dispensing disposable stethoscope covers is provided. The kit may include a cartridge and a dispenser for automatic touch-free dispensing of disposable stethoscope covers. The kit further includes a first spool having a roll of backing member with disposable stethoscope covers disposed thereon and a second spool for receiving the spent backing member after a disposable stethoscope cover has been removed, self-contained within the cartridge. The cartridge is inserted within the dispenser so that a user may insert a stethoscope head through a window of the dispenser to attach to a disposable stethoscope cover. The kit may further include a proximity sensor for detecting a user. Upon detection of the user, the first and second spools rotate to align a disposable stethoscope cover with the window of the dispenser in a ready-to dispense position.

A log roll can be efficiently manufactured in a log roll manufacturing apparatus capable of manufacturing a multi-ply log roll by using a plurality of parent rolls. When yet-to-be-wound base paper 12 constituted of stacked sheets of first base paper 11a and second base paper 11b fed from first and second parent rolls 10A and 10B is supplied to a main processing-winding unit 50A, if a winder 1 capable of manufacturing a two-ply log roll 62 and including a sub processing-winding unit 50B is to manufacture a one-ply log roll 61 by using the main processing-winding unit 50A, the yet-to-be-wound base paper 12 constituted of the stacked sheets of the first base paper 11a and the second base paper 11b is separated into first separated yet-to-be-wound base paper 12a and second separated yet-to-be-wound base paper 12b by a base-paper separating unit 70. Then, one-ply log rolls 61 are simultaneously manufactured by using the main processing-winding unit 50A supplied with the first separated yet-to-be-wound base paper 12a and the sub processing-winding unit 50B supplied with the second separated yet-to-be-wound base paper 12b.

There is provided a liquid discharge apparatus including: a transporting unit that transports a medium in a transporting direction, a discharge portion that discharges a liquid to the medium positioned in a discharge range, and a supporting portion that has a first supporting surface and a second supporting surface, as a supporting surface supporting the medium to be transported by the transporting unit, in which the first supporting surface supports the medium in the discharge range and does not have unevenness in a width direction intersecting the transporting direction, the second supporting surface supports the medium on a downstream side of the discharge range in the transporting direction and includes uneven portions in which a first portion and a second portion which is further recessed than the first portion are formed alternately in the width direction.

A roll medium transport apparatus includes a feed roll medium support unit that feeds a roll medium, a takeup roll medium support unit that winds up the roll medium that has been fed, a position acquiring unit that acquires a position of a side end portion of the roll medium that is to be fed, a radiating unit capable of radiating light with a position of the side end portion being used as a reference point. The radiating unit is held by the feed roll medium support unit and allows the light to be radiated to a takeup roll that winds up the roll medium.
