The present invention relates to apparatuses and processes for forming tabs on adhesive backed products. Specifically, the apparatus of the present invention provides a sequential series of mechanisms to form a tab on an adhesive-backed product, such as adhesive tape, so that the same may be easy to remove from an article at a later date. More specifically, the apparatus of the present invention provides a sequential series of mechanisms to form a tab that is formed solely of the adhesive-backed product itself, which may be utilized for the subsequent removal thereof after placement on an article.

A paper roll dispenser can be installed with a paper roll, which is parallel to a long press plate, which has an upper side connected with a hold-down strip. When the paper of the paper roll contact with the hold-down strip, the paper exceeds the paper roll can produce cutting effect. A guide roller is provided beneath the paper roll and if change the direction of the paper roll, the paper of the paper roll can be connected to a crumpled paper device by means of the guide roller, able to produce an effect of constriction of the paper, thus tallying with demand of ergonomics.

This invention relates to a manual device for dispensing tape, with or without adhesive, that can be used in tape reels made of organic, inorganic or synthetic materials, it also relates to a novel shear-type tape-cutting mechanism, which performs the tape cutting and dispatching operation due to the concentration of efforts at two points of the tape.

A system for generating rules inserted into at least one pattern board including: a controller configured to generate at least one shape diagram, the controller also configured to determine number and measurement of crease rules to be generated based on the at least one shape diagram; a cutting station configured to receive and cut a first crease rule into the number and measurement of the crease rules; and a sorter configured to receive the crease rules from the cutting station and sort the crease rules according to the measurement of the crease rules, wherein the sorted crease rules are inserted into each of the at least one pattern board along with a cutting rule shaped by each of at least one bender.

A dunnage system may include a converting station including a converter configured for pulling in a stream of sheet material and converting the material into dunnage, and an inlet guide having an inlet surface that is coiled such that first and second ends of the inlet surface are discontinuous with each other to define a gap therebetween, the inlet surface configured to channel the sheet material into the converter. A cutter for a dunnage system may include a blade with first and second phases of serrations that are coextensive over at least a portion of the blade, the first phase providing cutting serrations for cutting the dunnage, and the second phase comprising ledges for focusing the cutting and preventing or reducing bunching of the dunnage towards a side of the blade. A method of converting dunnage may also be provided.

A dispenser housing for dispensing a multi-layer tape transfer tape used in a paper web turn-up operation, the transfer tape being the combination of a tape substrate coated on one side with a web grabbing adhesive and on the other side with a mounting adhesive and an affixed cord or cordlike feature, and a release liner having a release liner substrate fully coated on a first side with a release layer and zone-coated on a second side with a release layer, the transfer tape being wound onto a single spool with the release liner facing inward and the mounting side adhesive facing outward, such that buckling is precluded when the transfer tape is unwound from the spool.

A coreless paper roll manufacturing method includes: unrolling a wide tissue web from a parent roll; spraying adhesive on the wide tissue web; winding the wide tissue web on a winding mandrel to form a log roll; and cutting the log roll to form a plurality of paper rolls. The spraying includes depositing a first adhesive, having a bonding strength capable of solidifying the wide tissue web wound on the winding mandrel and separating a sheet of tissue from the solidified wide tissue web, on parts of the wide tissue web from which the wide tissue web starts to be wound, the parts including both ends of the wide tissue web in the width direction and positions at which the log roll is cut, and depositing a second adhesive having a lower bonding strength than the first adhesive on parts between the parts where the first adhesive is deposited.

A dunnage system may include a converting station including a converter configured for pulling in a stream of sheet material and converting the material into dunnage, and an inlet guide having an inlet surface that is coiled such that first and second ends of the inlet surface are discontinuous with each other to define a gap therebetween, the inlet surface configured to channel the sheet material into the converter. A cutter for a dunnage system may include a blade with first and second phases of serrations that are coextensive over at least a portion of the blade, the first phase providing cutting serrations for cutting the dunnage, and the second phase comprising ledges for focusing the cutting and preventing or reducing bunching of the dunnage towards a side of the blade. A method of converting dunnage may also be provided.

The invention provides a method and a structure for cutting out elastic filaments. The cutting structure has a conveying device and a cutting device; the cutting method cutting an elastic membrane material, the elastic membrane material being combined with at least one cushion layer, conveying the elastic membrane material to the cutting device to cut the elastic membrane material a plurality of times, cutting the elastic membrane material into elastic filaments with certainty, and even cutting out fine elastic filaments. The elastic filament can be woven into a textile, or used as a sewing thread or an embroidery thread for apparel.

A roll (2) of dispensable sheet material (4), wherein the roll (2) has an inner bore (6), the dispensable sheet material (4) is such that it has a free end (8) which is difficult to find for manual dispensation of the dispensable sheet material (4) from the roll (2), the roll (2) comprises assist means (10) for assisting in the finding of the free end (8) of the dispensable sheet material (4), the assist means (10) comprises a device (12) which extends at least transversely over the width of the roll (2), and the device (12) is movable around the roll (2) such that the device (12) is locatable on the roll (2) at a place to receive an end portion (14) of the dispensable sheet material (4) which contains the free end (8), whereby the device (12) indicates the position of the free end (8) and thereby facilitates the manual dispensation of the dispensable sheet material (4) from the roll (2).
