The cutting mechanism including a cutting blade and at least one movable support connected thereto. The at least one support further is operatively connected to the body of the feed roller and is actuated with rotation thereof to move the cutting blade into and out from one or more openings defined along the body of the feed roller to at least partially cut or perforate a selected portion of the sheet material as the sheet material is dispensed.

The first cutter that cuts, in the direction transverse to the unwinding direction, a continuous sheet of additional member unwound and drawn by a length in accordance with the thickness of the book block is arranged at the input port of the trimming station, the transport mechanism that transports the cut additional member from the first cutter out in the unwinding direction of the continuous sheet of additional member is arranged downstream of the first cutter, the second cutter that trims the cut additional member being transported on the transport path in the unwinding direction is arranged in the transport path of the transport mechanism, and the position of the blades of the second cutter may be adjusted in the direction transverse to the unwinding direction in accordance with the head-to-foot length of the book block.

The present invention relates to an automatic package device, which may include a rack and a power control box provided on the rack. The cutter blade transportation device is provided on the rack along the X axis direction. Below the cutter blade transportation device and inside the rack, lower film feeding device is provided. At the rear side of the rack, the upper film feeding device is provided. At the front end of the cutter blade transportation device and on the rack are provided a blade feeding rail and cutter blade carrying device cooperating with each other. At the rear end of the cutter blade transportation device is provided a film sealing device which cooperates with the upper film feeding device and lower film feeding device. At the rear end of the film sealing device and on the rack is provided a dragging device fitting the blade strip. At the back side of the dragging device is provided a transverse cutting device fitting the blade strip. The present invention may achieve automatic feeding by the cutter blade carrying device. The dragging device may extend the upper and lower film material back and forth repeatedly. And the hot-pressing process may be accomplished by the film sealing device. The present invention may automatically seal the blades and the cutting device may separate the product one by one. At last the packaging process may be accomplished with high degree of automation and greatly improve production efficiency.

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of gummed tape dispensers, and more particularly relates to an electric water activated gummed paper tape dispenser. The dispenser includes a box body, wherein a paper feeding bin, a paper pushing mechanism, a dispensing mechanism, and a paper wetting mechanism are independently arranged according to functions in sequence in the box body, so that the overall structure is simpler, which is conducive to subsequent maintenance. In addition, one side of the box body is fixedly connected with an outer hood, a control system is arranged in the outer hood, and the control system is a PLC all-in-one machine. A paper pushing motor of the paper pushing mechanism and a dispensing motor of the dispensing mechanism are both full-digital subdivision stepper driven motors and are controlled by the control system, which is used as a core electronic control part of the device. During working, the control system controls operation of the paper pushing motor of the paper pushing mechanism so as to accurately control a pushing length of a gummed tape, and controls the operation of the dispensing motor of the dispensing mechanism so as to accurately control the dispensing amount of the gummed tape, thereby effectively ensuring the quality of the dispensed gummed tape and then improving the dispensing quality and efficiency.

An image forming apparatus includes: a housing; a feed tray insertable into and removable from the housing and accommodating a sheet-shaped medium; a feed roller feeding the sheet-shaped medium; an image forming device; and a movement mechanism. The feed tray includes: a first accommodation portion accommodating a roll body, a first sheet-shaped medium being rolled in a roll shape as the roll body; and a second accommodation portion accommodating a second sheet-shaped medium which is shorter than the first sheet-shaped medium. The movement mechanism moves to a first position where the feed roller contacts the first sheet-shaped medium unrolled from the roll body accommodated in the first accommodation portion and a second position where the feed roller contacts the second sheet-shaped medium accommodated in the second accommodation portion.

Roll-dispensed stock containers are provided. The roll-dispensed stock containers can include a recessed cutting track positioned along a length of a support wall of the container. The support wall can also include one or more apertures positioned adjacent to the recessed cutting track configured to receive a base of a slidable cutter movable along an elongated slot in a lid of the container. The base of the slidable cutter is captured by the recessed cutting track during a cutting operation to secure the lid in a closed position and to apply constant pressure against roll-dispensed stock as it is cut. Roll-dispensed stock containers of the present disclosure can also include a coating on one or more surfaces thereof. The coating can be formed from a material selected to reduce surface friction, increase rigidity, disperse forces associated with a cutter, and/or otherwise enhance characteristics of the container.

A tape dispenser according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a lower case configured to accommodate a tape therein, and including a tape support to which a portion of the tape is adhered; an upper case connected to the lower case; a blade portion coupled to the upper case to cut the tape; and a protection cap assembly provided on a bottom surface of the upper case to cover the blade portion, wherein, when the protection cap assembly is pressed by the support, the protection cap assembly is inserted toward the bottom surface of the upper case to expose at least a portion of the blade portion to an outside.

A sheet conveying device includes: a holding mechanism configured to hold suction members; and a driving device including a rotary shaft which is rotatable about a second axis parallel to the first axis and a connecting mechanism configured to connect the rotary shaft and suction members to each other; and a support mechanism configured to support the holding mechanism and the drive device. The connecting mechanism is connected to the suction members in a state where the suction members are movable in a radial direction of the circle about the first axis. The support mechanism supports the holding mechanism and the drive device such that the holding mechanism and the drive device are relatively movable from each other in a direction orthogonal to the first axis.
