A method is disclosed for transferring a film, preferably a wound-on stretch film, wound onto a winding mandrel, oriented in particular vertically and preferably supported exclusively in the region of its upper end, of an unwrapping apparatus, such that when the transfer position of the winding mandrel is reached, the film wound onto the winding mandrel is pulled off the winding mandrel by means of at least one transfer device and delivered to a disposal area. An apparatus for transferring a film, preferably a wound-on stretch film, wound onto a winding mandrel, oriented in particular vertically and preferably supported exclusively in the region of its upper end, of an unwrapping apparatus, is disclosed. The apparatus encompasses at least one transfer device for pulling off the film wound onto the winding mandrel when the transfer position of the winding mandrel is reached.

A printing apparatus includes a transport unit that transports a medium in a transport direction, a printing unit that prints on a printing surface of the medium, and a removal unit that is provided on an upstream side in the transport direction with respect to the transport unit and is provided so as to come into contact with the printing surface.

In one aspect, the present disclosure includes a sheet material dispenser including a dispensing mechanism including a drive roller that is configured to engage the sheet material, and a drive motor in communication with the drive roller to drive rotation thereof for dispensing of the sheet material from a discharge. The sheet material dispenser also includes a pressing roller arranged along the drive roller and configured to engage the sheet material between the pressing roller and the drive roller, and a drive belt assembly including a drive belt operatively connected to the drive motor and the pressing roller for transferring power from the drive motor to the pressing roller. Other aspects also are described.

There is provided a roller including: a shaft, and an elastic body portion that is provided on an outer peripheral surface of the shaft, in which the elastic body portion includes a plurality of first recessed portions which are provided on one side of the roller in a shaft mounting direction at intervals in a circumferential direction of the roller and each have a bottom portion, and a plurality of second recessed portions which are provided on the other side of the roller in the shaft mounting direction at intervals in the circumferential direction of the roller and each have a bottom portion, and in which each of the first recessed portions is positioned between the adjacent second recessed portions in the circumferential direction of the roller in the side view of the roller in the shaft mounting direction.

A conveyor device for conveying a single face corrugated web on a bridge is disclosed. The conveyor device includes a lower guide roller, around which the single face corrugated web is guided. The conveyor device further includes an upper pinching and conveyance nip formed by a pair of nip members in pressure contact with one another. At least one of the nip members is motor-driven. The pinching and conveyance nip is configured to pull the single face corrugated web upwards from the lower guide roller.

An inkjet printing system may include an inkjet printing device, a print media finishing device, and a conditioner selectively coupled within a housing of the print media finishing device and in alignment with a print media exit of the inkjet printing device where the conditioner includes a number of heated pressure rollers to condition the print media prior to introduction into the print media finishing device.

A sheet body is gripped (bound) by grip conveyance units, and conveyed as the grip conveyance units are displaced in this state. At the same time as this conveyance, the sheet body is held by delivering units, and delivered by a predetermined amount by the delivering units. After that, the sheet body is cut in predetermined size and shape by cutting molds.

An image reading apparatus includes a first displacement member configured to be displaced between a first non-contact position at which a medium and a feeding roller do not contact with each other and a first contact position at which those contact with other, and a second displacement member configured to be displaced between a second non-contact position at which the medium and the feeding roller do not contact with each other and a second contact position at which those contact with other. The second displacement member is displaced from the second non-contact position to the second contact position as the first displacement member is displaced from the first non-contact position to the first contact position, and is displaced from the second contact position to the second non-contact position as the first displacement member is displaced from the first contact position to the first non-contact position.

A sheet conveying device includes a housing, an opening unit, and a drive rotator. The opening unit is openably close the housing, the opening unit including a driven rotator including first driven rollers at each end regions of an axis of the driven rotator, and a second driven roller at a center region of the axis. The drive rotator forms a conveyance roller pair with the driven rotator to convey a sheet. The second driven roller has an outer diameter greater than each of the first driven rollers.
