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 wall covering assembly includes a sheet that is rolled onto itself to form a roll. An adhesive layer is coupled to the sheet and the adhesive layer adheres to a support surface thereby retaining the sheet on the support surface for ornamental purposes. A rolling unit is provided and the roll is rotatably coupled thereto thereby facilitating the sheet to be selectively drawn off of the rolling unit. The rolling unit is manipulated thereby facilitating the sheet to be applied to the support surface. A heating unit is coupled to the rolling unit and the heating unit is in thermal communication with the rolling unit. The heating unit selectively heats the rolling unit when the heating unit is turned on thereby communicating the heat to the adhesive layer for activation.

There is provided a method for cutting an adhesive film and an adhesive film that are novel and improved and capable of fabricating an adhesive film with a low glass transition point, high quality, and a width of less than 1 mm. According to an aspect of the present invention in order to achieve the above object, there is provided a method for cutting an adhesive film, the method including cutting, under a temperature environment of 40 to 10 C., an adhesive film that satisfies a condition of the following formula (1) and whose tack value per unit length under room temperature is 3N/cm or more.

y0.27x+11.4(1)

In the formula (1), x is a glass transition point ( C.) of the adhesive film, and y is a tack value per unit length (N/cm) under room temperature of the adhesive film.

A system for manufacturing electronics includes a wire dispensing tool head, a motion system for positioning a dispensing head around a part being fabricated, a spool for holding spooled wire, a feed mechanism operatively connected between the spool and the wire dispensing tool head for feeding the wire from the spool to the wire dispensing tool head, a cutting system configured to cut the wire after dispensement from the wire dispensing tool head, and a control system operatively connected to the motion system.

An image forming apparatus includes: a housing; a feed tray insertable into and removable from the housing and accommodating a sheet-shaped medium; a feed roller feeding the sheet-shaped medium; an image forming device; and a movement mechanism. The feed tray includes: a first accommodation portion accommodating a roll body, a first sheet-shaped medium being rolled in a roll shape as the roll body; and a second accommodation portion accommodating a second sheet-shaped medium which is shorter than the first sheet-shaped medium. The movement mechanism moves to a first position where the feed roller contacts the first sheet-shaped medium unrolled from the roll body accommodated in the first accommodation portion and a second position where the feed roller contacts the second sheet-shaped medium accommodated in the second accommodation portion.

Methods of separating discrete articles from continuous webs are disclosed. The methods use a separation assembly. The present disclosure further includes a cutting assembly and a pair of cutting rolls for use in the separation assembly.

Systems for providing efficient manufacturing of sheet or box structures, corrugate sheets, or other products of varying size and structure often with pre-applied print (pre-print) are provided herein. The systems include various features and modules that enable automated control of the corrugator, including the knives, slitters, scorers and cut-to-mark detection system(s), are contemplated. Colored markings may be used to indicate an order change section between two order sections of a roll plan for the manufacturing process. The colored markings are detected as the corrugator runs and, once detected, a controller determines a next set of order instructionse.g., to match the upcoming order. Thus, an order change may occur, thereby enabling automated control of the corrugator based on the new order instructions. Computer readable markings may enable checking of the actual position in the roll plan to an intended position, enabling stopping or changing of the corrugator operation if needed.

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. One or more controllers can be used to aggregate upcoming orders and information needed to complete the manufacturing process for the order. A controller enables a user to prepare control plans (e.g., reel maps, reel plans, etc.) for processing rolls of web product through the manufacturing process. Criteria filtering and/or various features enable generation of efficient and effective control plans for rolls of web product, including, in some cases, multiple orders. The control plan may include a set of instructions for operating one or more systems within the manufacturing process to form the desired finished paper-based product. In such a regard, efficient manufacturing of various paper-based products, including corrugated boxes, folded carton, labels, flexible paper, industrial bags, plates, cups, dcor, and many others, can be achieved.

A tape dispenser package includes a carton configured to store at least one roll of tape. The carton includes a storage box, a lid, and tube mounts. The storage box is formed to define an internal-storage cavity sized to receive a tube and a roll of tape arranged around the tube. The lid is coupled with the storage box and configured to close the internal-storage cavity. The tube mounts are configured to support the tube.

A tape dispenser includes a base and a cutting unit. The base has a receiving portion at one side thereof. The cutting unit is detachably mounted to the receiving portion and includes a main body and at least one cutting blade. The main body has at least one blade-mounting part and at least one tape-contact part located adjacent to the at least one blade-mounting part. The at least one blade-mounting part has a plurality of supporting portions. The at least one cutting blade is mounted to the at least one blade-mounting part at a specific angle and has a plurality of very thin blade teeth arranged in serration, for labor-saving cutting. The supporting portions contact and correspond to the blade teeth in shape, respectively, for strengthening the structure of the blade teeth. The cutting unit is detachable and replaceable when damaged, deformed, or worn out.
