The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for manufacturing a lithium electrode, comprising a cutting stage, a laser irradiation portion and a lithium metal film supply portion, in which a plurality of adsorption holes and a plurality of unit electrode pattern grooves are formed on the upper surface of the cutting stage.

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 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 sheet processing apparatus includes a blade having a plurality of teeth aligned in a row, a mover to move in a direction in which the plurality of teeth is aligned and form a perforation in a sheet sandwiched by the blade and the mover, and a pressure device to press the mover toward the blade.

Tape cutting inserts suitable for cutting tape strips from a tape roll having a spool, a pair of spaced-apart spool flanges on the spool, a spool opening in the spool and opening through the pair of spool flanges, respectively, and tape wound on the spool between the pair of spool flanges. An illustrative embodiment of the tape cutting insert may include an insert panel having an inner panel surface, an outer panel surface opposite the inner panel surface, a cutting edge extending between the inner panel surface and the outer panel surface and a pair of elongated, parallel, spaced-apart flange receiving slots extending through the insert panel from the inner panel surface to the outer panel surface. In a stowage configuration of the insert panel, the insert panel may be configured to releasably engage the spool at the spool opening. In a functional, tape cutting configuration of the insert panel, the pair of flange receiving slots may be configured to accommodate the pair of spool flanges, respectively, on the spool. Tape cutting insert and tape roll combinations are also disclosed.

A post-processing apparatus includes: a cutter that cuts a transported sheet; a waste bin that stores a cutting waste generated by a cutting operation of the cutter and falling from the cutter; a sensor that detects the cutting waste at a predetermined position in a depth direction in the waste bin; and a hardware processor that controls the cutting operation of the cutter according to a cutting mode, sets a predetermined value according to the cutting mode when the sensor detects the cutting waste, counts the number of times of cutting by the cutter after the sensor starts to detect the cutting waste, and detects that the waste bin is full when the counted number of times of cutting reaches the predetermined value.

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.

Container having a base portion defining a compartment and a lid portion moveable between an open position for access to the compartment and a closed position to cover the compartment. The base portion includes a bottom panel, a back panel extending from the bottom panel to a back panel upper edge, and back side tabs extending from the back panel and defining opposing sides of the base portion. The base portion further includes a front base panel extending upwardly from the bottom panel to a front angle panel, the front angle panel extending upwardly and inwardly from the front base panel to a free end. The lid portion is hingedly-coupled to the upper edge of the back panel. The container further includes a cutter disposed on the front angle panel. A blank and method for forming the container from a sheet of blank material is also provided.

A line member connection device which applies an adhesive tape includes: a supply reel which supplies the adhesive tape; a cutter which cuts the adhesive tape drawn from the supply reel; and an intermediate roller via which the adhesive tape drawn from the supply reel is directed to the cutter, the intermediate roller being disposed between the supply reel and the cutter, wherein in cross section taken along a rotation axis of the intermediate roller, a surface of the first roller which supports the adhesive tape is shaped to have a straight section parallel to the rotation axis, and a first inclined section inclined relative to the rotation axis.

An exemplary self-adhered membrane installation device includes a frame, a handle extending from the frame, a carrier for a roll of self-adhered membrane, and a plurality of rollers for feeding the self-adhered membrane through the installation device so that the self-adhered membrane can be applied.

A material dispenser having a dispensing member configured to dispense a line of the material along a path in a downstream direction, and a cutting member having a cutting edge extending generally downstream with respect to the path. The cutting member having a convex shape across the path, such that the cutting edge engages and sequentially initiates cuts through the line of material when the line of material is pulled against the cutting member, thereby minimize cutting forces.
