A device for dispensing rolled items, such as tape. The hand-held or mounted tape dispensing device is designed to accommodate variously sized or shaped rolls of tape. The tape dispensing device for dispensing a tape may comprise a support structure and one or more tape holder sliders configured to be moveable from a first position to at least one second position. The tape dispensing device may also include one or more tape holder sliders, which may move simultaneously in a single direction. The tape dispensing device may also include a tape dispenser blade having a cutting edge and configured to be moveable from a first position to at least one second position and to rotate to a position along the cutting edge at different angles.

A system for processing a flowable food mass is disclosed which includes a first cooling belt (11) having a face with a transport direction (T); a second cooling belt (12) having a face with a transport direct (T) adjacent to, and parallel with, the face of the first cooling belt (11), wherein the transport direction (T) of the face of the second cooling belt (11) is the same as the transport direction (T) of the face of the first cooling belt; and a film roller arrangement (15) for disposing a plurality of strip-shaped carrier film webs onto the first cooling belt (11), wherein each strip-shaped carrier film web has a pair of parallel edges and the strip-shaped carrier film webs are disposed adjacent to each other without gaps and partially overlap each other at their respective parallel edges to form a carrier film arrangement and a kit of parts for assembling the system.

The present invention relates to a film wrapping machine for a product packing device using a stretch film, including a frame having vertical bars extending upward and spaced apart from each other, a film clamping unit including a pair of suction pads which are moved in a direction of being spaced apart from each other in a state of adsorbing the stretch film so that a front end portion of the stretch film supplied from a film supply device is opened, and a plurality of clamps configured to grip the front end portion of the stretch film opened by the suction pads, receive the stretch film whose upper end is cut and bonded by the film supply device in a wrinkled state, and process the stretch film to be covered on a product in a process of lowering the vertical bars, and a controller which controls operation of the film clamping unit and the film supply device.

A web material dispenser for housing two or more rolls is provided. The web material dispenser includes a housing having a fixed housing portion provided with a first roll support assembly coupled thereto for supporting a first roll of web material. The housing further has a movable housing portion, movable between a closed position and an open position, provided with a second roll support assembly coupled thereto for supporting a second roll of web material. The fixed and movable housing portions defining a housing chamber therebetween when the movable portion is in the closed position, for at least partially enclosing the two or more rolls of web material within the housing chamber. The movable portion is moved to the open position for providing access to the two or more rolls and allowing replacement of at least one of the first and second rolls.

An apparatus for exchanging paper rolls includes a paper supply mechanism having an inclined arm and a clamp assembly for receiving and holding a first paper roll; a second-roll hanger assembly arranged above the paper supply mechanism for receiving and holding a second paper roll; a slide rail arranged between the paper supply mechanism and the second-roll hanger assembly; an elevating assembly movably mounted to the slide rail; and a driving assembly for driving the elevating assembly to move along the slide rail. The elevating assembly picks up the second paper roll from the second-roll hanger assembly. To exchange the first paper roll with the second paper roll, the clamp assembly pushes the first paper roll away from the paper supply mechanism, and the elevating assembly lowers down along the slide rail to place the second paper roll in the paper supply mechanism.

A rolled sheet dispensing cabinet for storing and dispensing rolled sheets includes a housing having a top, a bottom, a front, a back, and opposing sides defining an internal space. Each of a plurality of rods is coupled to and extends between the opposing sides. Each of a plurality of slots is positioned in the front and extends from proximate to each opposing side. The slots are parallel to the top and the bottom. Each slot is positioned proximate to a respective rod. The rods are positioned in the internal space and are configured for insertion into tubular cores of rolled sheets. The slots are positioned in the front and are configured for insertion of leading edges of the rolled sheets. The leading edges protrude from the front of the housing and are configured for grasping by a hand of a user to extract a portion of the rolled sheet.

In one example, a device for unwinding or winding multiple rolls of print substrate includes multiple spindles each to hold a roll of print substrate and a differential operatively connected to one end of each spindle. The spindles are aligned with one another lengthwise along a spindle axis and the differential is to output torque along a differential axis offset from the spindle axis to turn the spindles on the first axis.

The present application relates to rolled good feeding device and method. Material feeding devices and methods are provided for conveying material from material rolls. The material roll may be adjusted in the longitudinal direction during the feeding process by a rectifying frame to aid in maintaining alignment during the unrolling. Tension of the unrolled material may be monitored and unrolling speeds of the feeding device can be adjusted to maintain tension of the material within a range for that material. Aspects also contemplate elements to feed multiple rolled materials simultaneously for subsequent processing in combination as layered materials.
