A reversing device for a film web, which has a take-off device, has at least one turning device and at least one deflecting roller. The film web can be guided by the take-off device via the at least one turning device and the at least one deflecting roller to a winding device. The axes of the take-off device, the at least one turning device, and the at least one deflecting roller are adjustable in angle relative to one another. The at least one deflecting roller is formed as an expander roller having an expanding capacity which increases towards the end faces of the deflecting roller.

The invention relates to a winding shaft (1) for receiving at least one winding core, said winding shaft having a shaft body (2) made of fiber-reinforced plastic, preferably CFRP, having two bearing points (4, 5) at each end of the winding shaft, having radially displaceable clamping elements (20) distributed over the circumference and over the axial length for clamping, holding and releasing the winding cores. The winding shaft is designed to hold winding cores having an inside diameter of a maximum of 80 mm.

A winding mechanism for a sunscreen, for use in an open roof construction for a vehicle, includes a winding shaft which is supported at each longitudinal end to a stationary part of the open roof construction and forming a central axis for rotation. A winding tube for the sunscreen is rotatable around the central axis. At least one spring member is configured to bias the winding tube in a direction for winding the sunscreen thereon. The spring member is arranged adjacent to an inner surface of the winding tube and an outer surface of the winding shaft. At least one sleeve is configured to engage the spring member and inhibit noise from the spring member. The sleeve comprises an inner surface and an outer surface, wherein the at least one sleeve is connected along its inner surface to the winding shaft or along its outer surface to the winding tube.

The disclosure relates to a method and apparatus that separates and efficiently captures from an automated cutting table select pieces of thin, flexible material in an orderly manner which prevents damage to the selected piece while preventing the undesired lifting or movement of the surrounding material. The apparatus comprises a pick head assembly including a cylinder with a plurality of orifices that communicates with the selected piece to maintain contact between the selected piece and the cylindrical surface while the selected piece is being removed.

A blank for sealing a tray having one or more compartments includes a face stock with a pressure sensitive adhesive pattern which closely matches the top surface area of the tray, excluding the tray compartment areas. The pattern may be precisely formed with the pressure sensitive adhesive containing a coloring or fluorescing agent. The adhesive forms an identifiable registration mark used for properly aligning the adhesive pattern for die cutting the face stock in a specific location in relationship to the pattern. Various types of sensors may be used to identify the registration mark. Alternatively, the pattern may be precisely formed by printing a blocking or deadening agent in a pattern that contains a sensor mark with a blocking or deadening agent that contains a coloring or fluorescing agent, onto a flood coated pressure sensitive adhesive. This pattern forms an identifiable registration mark that is used to properly align the blank for cutting the face stock in a specific location in relationship to the adhesive pattern.

A wall-mounted, vertical holder, organizer and dispenser for pet waste bag rolls. Pet waste bag rolls come in standardized sizes wound about a spool, each bag separated from the next by a serrated transversal line. These rolls can be fed horizontally from the top of the dispenser to remain held and organized in the dispenser in a stacked configuration. The dispenser facilitates a bag being separated from the bottom-most roll, pulled through a wedge and chute located near the base on the front of the dispenser, and torn off for use without dislodging the bags from the dispenser or the dispenser from the wall. The wedge holds the next bag in the chute, ready for next use.

A plant for making packages includes at least a machine to work packaging material and an automatic feed apparatus to feed the packaging material to the machine in a direction of automatic feed; a manual feeding and loading station of the packaging material, adjacent and parallel to the automatic feed apparatus, the machine being mobile in a direction of movement transverse to the direction of automatic feed and selectively positionable in a first position aligned to the automatic feed apparatus and in a second position aligned to the manual feeding and loading station; and a guide system to guide the machine between the first position and the second position and vice versa.

A first feed device adjusts an intermittent feed amount thereof based on output of a first sensor such that a design position of a first panel is aligned with a first fixing position during every pause phase of an intermittent feed cycle. A second feed device adjusts tension of a second panel and an intermittent feed amount of a feed unit based on output of at least one second sensor such that a design position of the second panel is aligned with a second fixing position during every pause phase of an intermittent feed cycle. A third feed device adjusts an intermittent feed amount thereof based on output of a third sensor such that the design position of the first panel is aligned with the second fixing position during every pause phase of an intermittent feed cycle.

Provided is a sheet folding device which can reduce the pellet exchange frequency and an operation stop time accompanying a pallet exchange. The sheet folding device includes: (a) first movement unit disposed to be able to be raised/lowered above a placement region; (b) a second movement unit which is supported by the first movement unit and reciprocates along the placement region in a first direction; and (c) a sheet discharge device which is supported by the second movement unit and has a sheet discharge port facing the placement region, the sheet discharge port reciprocating along the placement region in a second direction crossing the first direction. Sheets continuous in the longitudinal direction are discharged from the sheet discharge port of the sheet discharge device so that the width direction of the sheets crosses the second direction.

The present disclosure provides a conveying roller cleaning method, a conveying roller cleaning device, and a material tape conveying equipment. In the conveying roller cleaning method, the conveying roller is configured to convey a material tape, and the cleaning method includes: connecting a head end of an adhesive tape with a tail end of the material tape; and the material tape pulling the adhesive tape to move so as to make the adhesive tape pass through the conveying roller and remove impurities from a surface of the conveying roller. The conveying roller cleaning method can clean the conveying roller.
