A film applicator includes an outer tube, an inner tube in the outer tube, and an adjustment assembly in the inner tube. The adjustment assembly has a threaded shaft fixed in the inner tube, a retaining nut mounted around the threaded shaft, a turning knob rotatably mounted around the threaded shaft, and an adjustment ring threadedly provided around the threaded shaft. When at a first position, the adjustment ring pushes the turning knob against the retaining nut and allowing the threaded shaft to rotate the inner tube with respect to the outer tube, thereby adjusting the exposed length of and securing the inner tube. When at a second position, the adjustment ring does not push the turning knob, which therefore cannot drive the inner tube into rotation. The inner tube thus stays at the secured position.

An assisting apparatus includes: a shaft member that is insertable into a winding core of a roll around which a sheet is wound; a moving member movable in a vertical direction, the moving member including the shaft member; and a detector configured to detect a position of the moving member in the vertical direction. The assisting apparatus is configured to assist in an operation of aligning a position of the roll in the vertical direction in a state in which the shaft portion is inserted in the winding core. The assisting apparatus includes a notifier configured to provide a notification when the detector detects that a position of the moving member in the vertical direction reaches a predetermined target position.

A sleeve for a cable spool having a cylindrical drum 8 and a pair of opposing end flanges. The sleeve includes a plurality of sleeve portions 7. Each sleeve portion 7 includes a body portion 10 for supporting cable thereon. The sleeve portions 7 are positionable on the cable spool such that the body portions 10 collectively define a cable support surface around the cylindrical drum 8, the cable support surface having a diameter greater than the cylindrical drum 8.

A cable reel of the present disclosure can include two flanges and a central drum being independently rotatable from one another. The drum, which can be configured to receive a cable, can be mounted on an axle. The two flanges can be rotationally mounted on the axle at opposing distal ends of the axle. Bearings in the flanges can allow for a full rotation of the flanges about the axle. The cable reel can also include a locking pin for locking rotation of a flange with rotation of the drum.

In order to obtain a ribbon feeding shaft capable of accurately adjusting a position of a regulating member and preventing a positional deviation, a long sheet material holding device includes a pair of first locking groove trains (91c and 91d) arranged in parallel with each other along the axial direction of the holding shaft (91), the pair of first locking groove trains (91c and 91d) having a series of grooves (61c and 61d) respectively, the series of grooves (61c and 61d) extending across the axial direction of the holding shaft (91), each of the series of grooves (61c and 61d) being provided with slope surfaces (71c, 71d) sloped along the axial direction of the holding shaft (91) and oppositely to each other and perpendicular surfaces (81c, 81d) perpendicular to the axial direction of the holding shaft (91), and a pair of second locking groove trains (92c, 92d) formed in a pair of locking members (92x, 92y) provided in the regulating member 92 inserted into the holding shaft (91), to match the surfaces of the pair of first locking groove trains (91c and 91d).

Belt core and belt core systems for winding a belt or other winding material are described. The belt core and belt core system described are lightweight and reusable. The belt core and belt core system includes at least one belt core unit. A plurality of units may be combined to form a belt core system, in which each unit has the same general size and is configured with means for interlocking each unit with another unit. This provides customization of the described system so that it may accommodate a winding material of any width.
