A sheet processing apparatus includes a conveyance portion, a punching portion, a moving portion, a first detecting portion, and a control unit configured to control the conveyance portion, the punching portion and the moving portion, wherein the control unit is configured, for a target position of each of a plurality of holes to be formed to a single sheet, to cause the first detecting portion to execute a detection process, and to execute a moving process of moving the moving portion based on the output value of the first detecting portion corresponding to the target position and a punching process of performing punching to the target position of the sheet by the punching portion after the moving process has been completed.

A method for feeding a web of printing material in a manufacturing system for producing packages, includes feeding the web from a web-fed printing press to a flat-bed machine for die-cutting or embossing while the printing press is in operation. An inserting device is used for winding the web onto an auxiliary wind-up device, moving a web-guiding element having a roller in a compensatory manner to achieve a temporary standstill of the web by converting a continuous movement of the web into an iterative movement by changing a speed of the web through changes of position of the roller, clamping the web while being cut by using a clamping unit, cross-cutting the web creating a cross cut edge by using a cutting unit adjacent the clamping unit, and inserting the web, cross cut edge first, into the flat-bed machine for at least one of die-cutting or embossing.

Disclosed are systems for applying materials to components. The system comprises a tool operable for transferring a portion of a material from a supply of the material to a component. A first portion of the tool may be configured for cutting along a side or edge of the portion of the material. A second portion of the tool may be configured for tamping, pressing, or pushing against the portion of the material to cause uncut sides or edges of the portion of the material attached to the supply of the material to be torn, severed, detached, or separated from the supply of the material.

Cutting article, for example for cutting tape, that is removable from a container, such as a box, of tape. Wound tape articles containing the same. Kits containing the same.

A printer includes housing having reel mounted therein to support paper roll and paper exit formed in front panel thereof, printing mechanism positioned in the housing and printing head for printing an ink on the sheet of paper, paper cutter for cutting the sheet of paper and paper path defined between the printing head and the paper cutter for the passing of the leading end of the sheet of paper, and paper dispensing mechanism positioned in the housing, which includes drive module and paper dispensing roller set drivable by the drive module to carry the sheet of paper toward the paper exit. The paper dispensing roller set has two rollers made of a flexible and elastic material and pressed against each other. The distance between the center of the two rollers is less than the combination of the radius of the two rollers.

A medium placement device configured to have a medium discharged from a discharge unit of a processing device placed therein, and includes: a placement unit including a plurality of placement surfaces, with different angles with respect to a horizontal direction, that are disposed along a discharge direction of the medium, the placement unit being configured to have the medium discharged from the discharge unit placed thereon; and a plurality of restricting members disposed facing the placement unit along the discharge direction, the plurality of restricting members being configured to come into contact with the medium from above. In an initial state in which the medium is not placed, a distance in a gravitational direction between a first end of each of the plurality of restricting members on a placement unit side and one of the plurality of placement surfaces that faces the first end in the gravitational direction is constant.

A sheet processing apparatus includes a conveyance portion, a punching portion, a moving portion, a first detecting portion, and a control unit configured to control the conveyance portion, the punching portion and the moving portion, wherein the control unit is configured, for a target position of each of a plurality of holes to be formed to a single sheet, to cause the first detecting portion to execute a detection process, and to execute a moving process of moving the moving portion based on the output value of the first detecting portion corresponding to the target position and a punching process of performing punching to the target position of the sheet by the punching portion after the moving process has been completed.

A tape dispenser has a cutter or cutting blade that has at least two rows of teeth opposite each other relative to the cutter or cutting blade. The blade is to be installed on the tape dispenser in any of at least two orientations. By installing the blade in any of at least two orientations, at least one row of teeth will always project from the dispensing end to cut adhesive tape as it is unwound from a roll after being dispensed. This type of blade permits an easier manufacturing ability by reducing or eliminating the need to ensure proper alignment of the teeth to project outwardly from the tape dispenser housing.

A container cover and dispenser system is disclosed herein. The cover fits over a container and allows a user to access contents through an opening. The cover may include a notch to leave an open section for a user to access the contents. The dispenser may hold a roll of container covers that may be pulled out and individually removed from the roll. The dispenser may include a protrusion to create a tab and notch design on the removed covers to facilitate users' access of the contents.
