A guide film supply mechanism feeds a guide film toward a winding mechanism. The guide film is a film in which a pair of supports, which is long in the longitudinal direction of a base film and is thicker than a product film, is disposed on both side portions of the upper surface of the base film that is formed to have a width larger than the width of the product film. A product film supply mechanism feeds the product film toward the upper surface of the guide film. The winding mechanism forms a film roll by winding the product film for each guide film. The tension of the product film is set to be smaller than the tension of the guide film.

An apparatus for winding an elongated element onto a collection reel with the interposition of a service fabric, includes a device for feeding the elongated element toward the collection reel, a device for feeding the service fabric toward the collection reel, a device for driving in rotation the collection reel, and a control device for controlling the rotation speed of the collection reel. The control device includes a device for detecting the actual winding diameter of the collection reel and a device for adjusting the rotation speed of the collection reel according to the actual winding diameter of the collection reel.

A display device is disclosed. The display device includes a housing, a plurality of rollers positioned inside the housing, a display unit including a display panel and a module cover having at least one apron, of which at least a portion is connected to each other, and a driver including a motor assembly, an upper bar coupled to an upper part of the display unit, and at least one support portion having one side coupled to both ends of the upper bar and the other side coupled to the motor assembly and moving up and down the upper bar. The display panel and the module cover are in a first state in which they are wound around the roller or a second state in which they are unwound from the roller, contact each other, and are exposed to the outside of the housing.

A device for winding an electrode plate includes a feed roller configured to guide a first electrode plate or a second electrode plate, each of the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate including a plurality of electrode tabs protruding from one side, a deformation reducing member spaced apart from an outer circumferential surface of one end of the feed roller and configured to guide the electrode tabs fed to the feed roller to be brought into close contact with the outer circumferential surface of the one end of the feed roller to reduce deformation of the electrode tabs, and a winding unit configured to wind together the first electrode plate or the second electrode plate transferred by the feed roller and a separator interposed between the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate.

A winding apparatus (200) and a method of winding a product strip onto (202) a reel (204) are provided, the winding apparatus (200) comprises, a feeder module (216) for supplying the product strip to the reel; a first winding module part (218) that is configured to engage the reel, the first winding module part (218) being further configured to move along a first alignment path to align the reel in relation to the feeder module (216) at an operative position for receiving the product strip; wherein first winding module part (218) is configured to align the reel (204) in a horizontal position that is normal to a vertical axis (Y) of the winding apparatus and the reel (204) is rotatable at the operative position about a longitudinal axis passing through the reel; and wherein the feeder module (216) is arranged to convey the product strip (202) for winding onto the reel (204), the product strip (202) being within a vertical plane normal to the ground.

A method of fabricating a textile structure of varying thickness including using a loom to weave a fiber texture in the form of a strip extending lengthwise along a longitudinal axis and widthwise along an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and causing the texture to be wound under tension onto a mandrel. The texture includes a portion presenting extra thickness. During the winding of the texture, a spacer element is interposed between adjacent turns of the fiber texture onto the mandrel. Each spacer element extends in the width direction of the texture over a portion thereof situated outside the portion of extra thickness and presenting, over the portion of the texture situated outside the portion of extra thickness, a thickness that corresponds at least to the difference between thicknesses of the portion of extra thickness and of the portion of the texture situated outside the portion of extra thickness.

A method of manufacturing a glass roll, includes: a forming step (S1) of forming, while conveying a glass film, the glass film by a downdraw method; a temporary rolling step (S3) of rolling the glass film while superposing a protective film on the glass film at a downstream end of a path of the conveying in the forming step (S1), to thereby manufacture a source glass roll; and a main rolling step (S4) of unrolling, while conveying the glass film to a downstream side, the glass film from the source glass roll, and then rerolling the glass film while superposing a protective film on the glass film at a downstream end of a path of the conveying, to thereby manufacture a glass roll. Higher tension in a rolling direction is applied to the glass film in the main rolling step (S4) than in the temporary rolling step (S3).

Web-wound rolls with a web edge treatment with microspheres and processes to make the same are provided. The web-wound rolls include a substrate web having at least two web edges. One or more stripes of coated material are disposed adjacent to one or both of the web edges. The substrate web is wound upon itself in multiple revolutions about a central core, and each revolution is held substantially separate from the next by the one or more stripes of coated material.
