A web material roll, a web material roll retention assembly and a method for placing a web material roll in a web material roll dispenser are also provided.

A media processing device includes: a hopper supporting media units (e.g. cards), and a biasing assembly biasing the cards toward a hopper outlet; an input roller for accepting a single card at a hopper slot inlet; a pick roller at the outlet for dispensing a card from the hopper to a media processing path; a motor having an output shaft; a primary drivetrain segment connecting the output shaft with the pick roller; an auxiliary output selector connected to the primary drivetrain segment and switchable between first and second output configurations; first and second auxiliary drivetrain segments connecting the output selector, respectively, with the input roller and a release member for disengaging the biasing assembly; and a selector input movable to switch the output selector between the first output configuration, coupling the primary and first auxiliary drivetrain segments, and the second output configuration, coupling the primary and second auxiliary drivetrain segments.

According to an example, an apparatus may include an automatic document feeder, printing components, an externally accessible embedded finishing mechanism, an illumination source to direct attention to the embedded finishing mechanism, and a controller. The controller may determine whether a certain condition has been met pertaining to media sheets fed into the automatic document feeder or printed by the printing components, and in response to a determination that the certain condition has been met, may activate the illumination source.

A portable bag dispenser assembly for selectively dispensing bags includes a housing that has a first lateral wall, a second lateral wall and a peripheral wall that extends between and is attached to the first lateral wall and the second lateral wall. The peripheral wall has a slot that extends into an interior of the housing. A dispensing unit is mounted in the housing and is actuated to selectively release bags outwardly from the interior of the housing. An actuator is mounted on the housing and is electrically coupled to the dispensing unit. The actuator is actuated to turn on the dispensing unit. A power supply is electrically coupled to the actuator. A mount is attached to the housing and engages a belt worn by a person.

A staple-less binding unit 27 is disposed between a front cover 121 and a sheet stacking table 16, and an insertion port 110 is formed on a first surface 121a of the front cover 121 so that manual binding by the staple-less binding unit 27 can be executed from the front side of the apparatus. The staple-less binding unit 27 is provided at a position overlapping a stapling unit 17 positioned at a replacement position in a front-rear direction.

An image forming apparatus includes a transport section that transports a recording material, a grasping section that grasps a remaining situation of a recording material remaining in a transport path through which the recording material is transported by the transport section, a reception section that receives, from a user, an input of the number of removed sheets of recording material removed from the transport path by the user in a case where the transport of the recording material by the transport section is stopped, and a start section that starts the stopped transport by the transport section based on the number of removed sheets input by the user.

A dispensing roll lock device comprises at least one rod and end caps designed to attach to ends of the rods. The rod is sized to be inserted through end locks on sides of a dispensing box and through the roll in the box. The end caps secure the rod in the box so that the roll of the dispensing box is secured in the box when dispensing material from the roll.

A pet feces bag dispenser and carrying apparatus is provided, comprising a first portion having a first hexagonal truncated pyramid with six faces forming a first open base of the first hexagonal pyramid, the faces are planar walls having a thickness extending upward from the base to a top plane having an opening at the top of the first hexagonal pyramid. a second portion having a second hexagonal truncated pyramid shape with six faces forming a second open base, the six faces of the second hexagonal pyramid are planar second walls having a second thickness extending downward from the second base including a solid bottom plane formed at a common top edge of the second walls. Two axles affixed at opposing points on inner surfaces of the first portion enabled to hold a roll of feces bags,. The first and second bases come together in a closed position.

A roll tensioner for use in maintaining a wrapping material cut edge of a wrapping material retained on a wrapping material roll located within a wrapping material box having an interior cavity with an interior front wall with a top cutting edge. The roll tensioner comprises a thin, flexible main body having distal and proximal end sections separated by a spring back reversion section, and formed having a first side and a second side. Attachment means, preferably an adhesive, is located on at least a portion of the proximal end section on the first side adapted to attach the proximal end section to the interior front wall of the wrapping material box. The spring back reversion section is composed of a material that has an immediate elastic response to a static load and is capable of substantially full recovery when the static load is removed. The distal end mechanically bends downward by way of the spring back reversion section in the interior cavity of the wrapping material box. The distal end section is adapted to rest against the wrapping material proximal to the wrapping material cut edge to retain the wrapping material cut edge in an upward, substantially parallel position to the interior front wall of the wrapping material box for easy grasping of the wrapping material cut edge by an end user.

A media processing device includes: a hopper supporting media units (e.g. cards), and a biasing assembly biasing the cards toward a hopper outlet; an input roller for accepting a single card at a hopper slot inlet; a pick roller at the outlet for dispensing a card from the hopper to a media processing path; a motor having an output shaft; a primary drivetrain segment connecting the output shaft with the pick roller; an auxiliary output selector connected to the primary drivetrain segment and switchable between first and second output configurations; first and second auxiliary drivetrain segments connecting the output selector, respectively, with the input roller and a release member for disengaging the biasing assembly; and a selector input movable to switch the output selector between the first output configuration, coupling the primary and first auxiliary drivetrain segments, and the second output configuration, coupling the primary and second auxiliary drivetrain segments.
