A compound equipment of a latex-free tufted carpet is provided. The compound equipment includes an unwinding device, a compound roller, and a shaping device. The unwinding device is configured to unwind a rolled blank blanket, a hot-melt fiber mesh, and secondary cloth. The compound roller is configured to stack and compound the unwound blank carpet, the unwound hot-melt fiber mesh and the unwound secondary cloth in sequence to obtain a preformed tufted carpet. The shaping device is configured for the setting of the preformed tufted carpet at a preset temperature to obtain a finished tufted carpet. Combined with the hot-melt fiber mesh, the secondary cloth and the blank carpet are consolidated by means of thermally induced bonding, and latex is not needed for consolidation.

A roller apparatus (102) is provided including roller means (104), drive means (110) for driving rotation of the roller means in use, and an electrical power source for providing electrical power to the drive means in use. The electrical power source is provided by one or more batteries (112) located internally of the roller means.

A device for covering a surface includes a cover (9), a drum mounted to rotate and able to wind or unwind the cover, and a translation system. The translation system includes a pair of closing spools (11r) mounted to rotate about a closing shaft (12) and each coupled to a closing cord (1c) to move the drum on rails (6) in a closing sense (Dc), and an axle shaft (12) coupled to the drum (2t) the rotation of which enables winding of the cover onto the drum (2t) and to move the cover on the rails in an opening sense (Do). A motor (M) connected to a driving shaft (10M) and coupled to a clutch system is configured to enable the driving shaft to actuate alternately rotation of the closing shaft (11) and the axle shaft (12).

A tarp deployment and retrieval apparatus that is configured to facilitate placement and retrieval of a tarp over an object such as but not limited to a cargo truck. The apparatus includes a base support frame wherein the base support frame is comprised of a plurality of longitudinal and lateral support members. A pair of vertical support members extending upward from the base support frame provide support for the drive rod member. The drive rod member is rotatable in a clockwise and counterclockwise direction having a motor assembly operably coupled thereto. A tarp engagement member is releasably coupled to the drive rod member utilizing a coupler. The tarp engagement member includes a center rod portion having a plurality of rope engagement members formed thereon. The tarp engagement member includes a guide member that is generally U-shaped and operable to maintain lateral position of a tarp on the tarp engagement member.

A ground tape applicator is configured to apply adhesive tape to ground surfacers. The ground tape applicator includes a plurality of rollers that guide the adhesive tape to the ground surface and apply the adhesive tape to the ground surface. The ground tape applicator includes a blade configured to engage with the adhesive tape to cut the adhesive tape to a desired length.

An apparatus for manufacturing an insulating pipe section includes a rotatable longitudinal mandrel configured for receiving and winding uncured mineral wool around the mandrel to manufacture an insulating pipe section, a belt, preferably an endless belt, at least two longitudinal jaws engaging the belt, wherein the jaws are configured for surrounding the mandrel with the belt, and a mandrel controlling element configured for actively controlling a transverse movement of the mandrel.

The invention relates to a method of winding and packaging wide wallpaper, which is wound around a roll on a winding and rotary device, followed by packaging wallpaper in containers for transportation or storage. In the first embodiment of the invention, in the presented process, winding of the wallpaper (3) is carried out onto a winding and rotation mechanism, made in the form of a finished hollow closed cylindrical tube (1) of flexible material, equipped with a valve (2) for supplying and discharging air from it. At the same time, the valve (2) is fixed on one of the tube bases (4). Along the length of the pumped cylindrical tube (1) is fixed the edge of the wallpaper (3) and wound it on the tube (1) until a roll of the required length is obtained. In the second embodiment of the invention, the tube for wallpaper winding is formed from a part of a whole piece of wallpaper material (6) separated from the edge (7) in the form of a fold along the width of the wallpaper. The selected part of the wallpaper material, corresponding to the diameter of the tube (9) being created, is laid in width in two layers and fastened along the perimeter of the formed sides. The valve (10) is installed on one of the bases of the cylindrical tube (9) formed when air is pumped. The rest of the whole piece of wallpaper is wound on the tube (9) until a roll of the required length is obtained. Further, in both embodiments of the described method, the air is released from the tube through the valve to form a flat rectangular structure in the form of wallpaper layers with a tube placed inside. The resulting structure is laid into several layers for packaging in containers and subsequent storage and transportation. Flexible materials such as paper, vinyl, PVC, polyethylene and others are used as material for the manufacture of the tube.

Systems for processing material, taping stations to apply tape to one or more rolls of material, and methods of processing material are disclosed. A system for processing material includes a winding station and a taping station. The winding station includes a winder to wrap material around a mandrel to produce one or more rolls of material. The taping station is arranged downstream of the winding station to receive the one or more rolls of material therefrom and apply tape to the one or more rolls of material.
