A device for winding up a film at a packaging machine, the device including a reception mandrel drivable for rotation about a rotation axis and a reception sleeve for the film for being pushed onto the reception mandrel. The reception sleeve may be formed by segments arranged next to each other along a circumference or perimeter of the reception sleeve, wherein neighboring or adjacent segments may be pivotably connected to each other. The reception mandrel may be formed as rigid body having engagement structures that are configured to cooperate with shape features of an inner circumference or perimeter of the reception sleeve, when the reception sleeve has been pushed onto the reception mandrel, so that a rotation of the reception mandrel about the rotation axis causes the reception sleeve to rotate with the reception mandrel.

A device for winding strip-shaped material onto at least one reel (10) comprises a support arm (11) that is movable relative to the machine frame (12) and has at least one horizontal reel shaft (13) for holding the reel (10). The reel shaft (13) holding the reel is made to rotate by at least one rotary drive (14). A release mechanism is provided for releasing the reel (10) when the support arm (11) moves relative to the machine frame (12). In order to design a device that is better adapted to the specificities of rigid materials and to greater weights of the strip-shaped material, the support arm (11) supporting the reel when the strip-shaped material is wound onto the reel simultaneously forms the release mechanism, and a linear movement mechanism (15) is provided for moving the support arm (11) parallel to the reel shaft (13) and transversely to a strip feeding mechanism (16) in order for the reel to be released.

An apparatus (un-interleaver) for unwinding a roll of material interleaved with another material, and for separating the materials, includes a first platform, a second platform, a tension-sensor, an edge-sensor, and a controller. The controller monitors signals generated by the tension-sensor and the edge-sensor, and in response to the signals: a) causes the speed at which the second platform rotates to change to maintain a predetermined tension in the second material as the second material travels from the first platform toward the second platform, and b) causes the second platform to move relative to the first platform to align the edge of the second material traveling toward the roll of second material with the edge of the second material in the roll.

Provided is a wound body formed by winding a long sheet. The wound body is supportable by a support shaft. The support shaft includes a cylindrical outer peripheral part that includes a first projection located at a proximal end and a second projection located at a distal end, and includes an inner peripheral part that includes a first recess part located at the one end and recessing outward in the radial direction and a second recess part located to extend from the one end to the other end and recessing outward in the radial direction. A recessing amount of the second recess part is smaller than that of the first recess part. The support shaft and the core body are integrally rotatable around the central axis by engagement of the first projection with the first recess part in a state where the core body is mounted on the outer periphery of the support shaft. The circumferential position of the first projection around the central axis is aligned with the circumferential position of the first recess part around the central axis by engagement of the second projection with the second recess part when the core body is mounted on the outer periphery of the support shaft.

A tie down strap retrieval device that is configured to retrieve and roll a tie down strap after use on a flatbed style trailer. The present invention is configured to be releasably secured to a portion of the trailer. The tie down strap retrieval device includes a main support beam wherein the main support beam includes a rail engagement member that is configured to be releasably secured to a section of a trailer. The rail engagement member includes a hook member having a curved section configured to engage a rail or similar element. A roller assembly is rotatably mounted to a first side of the main support beam and includes a support plate and four mounting rods extending outward from the support plate and main support beam. A guide member is proximate the roller assembly and is configured to direct a strap onto the roller assembly.

A one-piece integrally molded tape removal hub for a temporary tape removing apparatus which includes a length of cylindrical tube and a sleeve having a noncircular through bore extending into a portion of the cylindrical tube at an end thereof. A plurality of webs extend from the outer surface of the sleeve to the inner wall of the cylindrical tube. The portion of the cylindrical tube extending from the sleeve to the opposite end of the cylindrical tube is hollow.

To provide a medicine inspection system capable of appropriately outputting an inspection result while minimizing damage and the like to a packaging bag and a medicine. A medicine inspection system 10 includes an inspection device 20 which inspects a numerical quantity and/or a type of a medicine contained in a packaging bag p based on an image photographed of the packaging bag p to be inspected, and a marking device 50 which records an inspection result from the inspection device on the packaging bag p. After the packaging bag p, which has a seal section S formed by pressure bonding an overlapping portion of a packaging paper, is inspected at the inspection device 20, a stamp which indicates the inspection result thereof is output by a marking device 50 onto the seal section S.

A roller arm assembly for a temporary tape removal machines which roller assembly supports a spool assembly on a vehicle that removes temporary tape from a pavement surface. The roller assembly is attached to a chassis or frame of the vehicle and is pivotal between a raised and lowered position. The roller assembly includes a lower arm member and an upper arm member which are rotatably coupled together. The upper arm member supports a spool assembly and a hydraulic motor that rotates the spool assembly. The upper arm of the roller assembly can be rotated with respect to the lower arm to allow the spool assembly to be position on either side of the vehicle chassis or frame.

A tape removal hub for a temporary tape removing apparatus which includes a hub plug having a noncircular through bore complementarily shaped to receive the noncircular shaft portion of a spool spindle shaft of the temporary tape removing apparatus and a length of pipe or tubing into which the hub plug is inserted.
