A screening apparatus includes a vibrating screen assembly that includes a screen and a vibrating mechanism operable on the screen to cause vibration of the screen, the screen having a feed end and a discharge end. At least one shield member is positioned on the screen and is configured to cover part of the screen between the feed end of the screen and a position intermediate the feed and discharge ends of the screen, such that particulate material for screening by the screen can be fed on to the, or each, shield member, the, or each shield member being positioned on the screen so that a vibrational pattern of the screen is imparted to the shield member. An adjustment mechanism is operatively engaged with the, or each, shield member to adjust a position of a discharge end of the, or each, shield member relative to the discharge end of the screen.

Disclosed is a display device. The display device of the present disclosure comprises: a flexible display panel; an elongated roller on which the display panel is wound or unwound; and a disk wheel positioned adjacent to the edges of the display panel which is laminated while wound on the roller, wherein the disk wheel is coupled to the roller and passes across the axis of rotation of the roller. The diameter of the disk wheel may be larger than the diameter of the display panel wound around the roller.

There are provided a wind-up drum that is easily detached in a state in which a wound tape is fastened, a tape feeder including the wind-up drum, and a component mounting machine capable of mounting the tape feeder. A wind-up drum includes a tape holding member including an insertion hole for inserting a support shaft of a rotating device and configured to hold a wound tape, and a wound member attached to the tape holding member, configured to wind up the tape by rotating the support shaft by the rotating device in a state in which the support shaft is mounted, and including a rotating member that rotates in contact with the support shaft when the wound member is detached from the support shaft in a state in which the tape is wound.

A tape support arrangement comprises a tape take up core (220) suitable for supporting a tape; and a tape supply core (210) suitable for supporting a tape (230). The supply core (210) comprises an inner surface (212), the inner surface defining an internal volume (240) of the supply core and being configured for engagement with a tape drive support. The take up core (220) is sized and shaped such that it can be located in the internal volume (240) of the supply core (210). Refer to FIG. 2.

The invention refers to a spool (10) for supporting a filament (90), comprising a first flange (21), a second flange (22) and a connector (30), the connector (30) connecting the first flange (21) and the second flange (22) and defining a winding surface (40) for winding the filament (90) about a winding axis (X). Thereat, a plurality of openings (33) is provided in the connector (30), the openings (33) running in radial direction (R). The invention also refers to a filament spool (80), comprising a spool (10) according to the invention and a filament (90), in particular a thermoplastic filament (90) for use in a 3D printer, the filament (90) being winded thereon.

The invention is directed to an organizing device for cables comprising a spool, wherein the spool comprises: a barrel; an upper flange affixed to a first side of the barrel; and a lower flange affixed to a second side of the barrel, wherein the barrel is elliptical and wherein the upper flange and the lower flange each extend outwardly beyond the barrel.

The present specification relates generally to devices for configuring pliable articles and more specifically to a device for rolling fabric articles for storage and related method. The device for rolling fabric articles for storage and the related method may facilitate the storage of a greater number of fabric articles within a given space, without rendering the stored articles inaccessible. The fabric rolling device comprises a housing; a pair of substantially parallel rods each having a first end, the pair of substantially parallel rods connected to each other at the first ends and extending horizontally through the housing; a rotational mechanism in communication with the connected first ends of the pair of substantially parallel rods; and at least one supporting mechanism, disposed within the housing proximate one of a free end of each of the pair of substantially parallel rods and the connected first ends of the pair of substantially parallel rods.

A core for winding sheet material is proved. The core comprises a cylindrical tube having a longitudinally oriented slot formed therein, and a strip of soft material located in the slot. Because of the geometry of the slot and the strip, the strip may be softer in the central region but firmer where the core transitions from the relatively soft strip to the relatively hard tube. The leading edge of the sheet material imbeds itself into the soft central region of the strip as additional layers are wound around the core.
