A hose roller is described. An input shaft is coupled to a handle to be rotatably drivable by rotation thereof. A sun sprocket is drivably coupled to the input shaft. A chain is engaged with the sun sprocket and a planetary sprocket, offset from the sun sprocket, to drivably couple the planetary sprocket to the sun sprocket. An intermediate shaft is drivably coupled to the planetary sprocket. A universal joint is connected to the intermediate shaft and an output shaft, angled relative to the intermediate shaft, to drivably couple the output shaft to the intermediate shaft. An output support is offset from and drivably coupled to the input shaft. An output shaft bearing is disposed between the output shaft and the output support to support and to allow rotation of the output shaft. A spool is coupled to the output shaft to be rotataby driven by the output shaft.

A method is provided for supplying a corrugated board article or a paperboard sheet article from a feeder apparatus for receipt by an article processing host machine. The method includes feeding the article to a feeder apparatus including a sheet supporting feed table surface having a feed end and a delivery end, feed elements, and a control surface selectively movable between a covering state and an exposing state. In the exposing state the feed elements are exposed to contact and drive the article along the sheet supporting feed table. The control surface is selectively movable to an angled state to selectively angle the control surface to consecutively conceal the respective feed elements as the article moves over the feed elements.
