A roller assembly for a taping device includes a roller body defining a central bore, a bushing configured to be received within the central bore and rotationally fixed to the roller body, and a shaft configured to be disposed within the central bore. The shaft defines an outer surface that extends through the bushing. The shaft has a boss that extends radially outward from the outer surface. A resistance element is disposable within the central bore is configured to contact the bushing and the boss in a manner providing an amount of rotational resistance between the roller body and the shaft when the roller assembly is in an assembled configuration.

A winding device is capable of easily moving a flange portion to a position corresponding to a width of a continuous medium. A winding device that winds a print medium, the winding device including a winding shaft, a winding core portion that is provided to be rotatable on the winding shaft and that winds a continuous medium, a first flange portion that is provided on the winding shaft to be movable in an extending direction of the winding shaft and that guides the continuous medium wound around the winding core portion in a width direction of the continuous medium, a flange-side engaging portion capable of moving integrally with the first flange portion, and a flange moving section that includes a cylindrical cam provided with a cam-side engaging portion that engages with the flange-side engaging portion and that moves the first flange portion to a plurality of flange positions.

Rolling assembly for packaging web material in a roll having a base member with concave arcuate feed surface defining an upwardly-extending ramp, first intermediate member movably coupled to base member, and top member moveably coupled to at least one of base member or first intermediate member, top member having a concave arcuate pressure surface facing feed surface of base member. The base member, first intermediate member and top member collectively forming an iris with a feed space, the iris moveable between a first condition and a second condition, and configured to receive web material along the feed surface and direct the web material upwardly toward the top member to form a roll within the feed space, the iris moving toward a second condition as the roll of web material increases in cross dimension against the pressure surface of the top member.

The device (3; 201; 202) with rotating blades includes a support structure (17; 217). The structure supports a rotating blade-holder (15; 15B; 203; 205), which rotates around a rotation axis and on which a group of rotating blades (19; 19B; 203A; 205A) is arranged. An anvil blade (21; 21B; 21C; 204; 206) is further provided carried on the support structure (17; 217) adapted to co-act with the group of rotating blades (19; 19B; 203A; 205A). A sensor (31; 104; 105; 107; 231; 232) detects a parameter indicative of a mutual interaction between the group of rotating blades (19; 19B; 203A; 205A) and the anvil blade (21; 21B; 21C; 204; 206).

A wrapping mechanism is described that comprises at least two material support cylinders, a mechanism support cylinder, and a first and a second support plate, which are all rotatable about a support axis. The wrapping mechanism can comprise a pair of frame plates, a drive mechanism, a brake system, a lock mechanism, at least one feed roller and a feed plate. The wrapping mechanism can be integrated into an agricultural harvester such as a baler or combine.
