A printing apparatus includes: a printing unit configured to perform printing on a sheet; a driving unit configured to apply a rotational force to a roll member that is rotatably held; and a pressing unit having a roller configured to apply a pressing force to an outer peripheral surface of a roll sheet wound around the roll member, wherein the pressing unit changes the pressing force during a sequence in which the driving unit applies a rotational force to the roll member and a sheet that has passed through the printing unit is wound.

A dock mountable floatation mat storage assembly includes a first mount and a second mount each attached to dock. Each of the first and second mounts includes a base that has an inward portion, an outward portion and a central portion positioned between the inward and outward portions. The inward portion has an aperture extending therethrough. A riser has a top end and a bottom end. The bottom end is attached to the outward portion of the base and extends upwardly away therefrom. A fastener extends through the aperture and through the dock such that the fastener releasably secures the base to the dock. A spindle is positioned on and extends between the top ends of the first and second mounts. The spindle is rotatable relative to the first and second mounts and engages a floating mat such that the floating mat is rolled upon and storable on the spindle.

A winder for winding process webs on roll cores may include a first winding position configured for rotatably securing a first roll core and rotating the first roll core in a first rotational direction. The winder may also include a second winding position configured for rotatably securing a second roll core parallel to the first roll core and rotating the second roll core in the first rotational direction. The winder may also include a roll positioning assembly configured to move a portion of the web upstream of the second winding position from a first side of the first winding position to a second side of the first winding position.

A printing apparatus includes: a printing unit configured to perform printing on a sheet; a driving unit configured to apply a rotational force to a roll member that is rotatably held; and a pressing unit having a roller configured to apply a pressing force to an outer peripheral surface of a roll sheet wound around the roll member, wherein the pressing unit changes the pressing force during a sequence in which the driving unit applies a rotational force to the roll member and a sheet that has passed through the printing unit is wound.

A method and apparatus for the production of wound elements. The method comprising: providing a plurality of first electrical web elements; disposing at least one of the first electrical web elements upon a conveying element, wherein a first or second face of the disposed first electrical web elements is disposed in a face to face relationship with the conveying element; providing a plurality of second electrical web elements; disposing at least one of the second electrical web elements upon the conveying element at a predetermined spacing from the disposed first electrical web elements and in a face to face relationship with the conveying element, wherein the predetermined spacing is at least as long as the length of the first electrical web element; and disposing an electrically insulating separator web element in a face to face relationship with the disposed electrical web elements.

An apparatus to launch, retrieve, and store a recreational floating mat is described. The apparatus can provide the advantages of helping to ease the potential difficulties associated with launching, retrieving and storing recreational floating mats from dock side, pool side or from a floating vessel such as a boat or floating dock.

A strap storage container has a strap storage rack and a crank mechanism for coiling the straps. The crank mechanism passes through the storage container and has a handle on a first end and strap receiving aperture (e.g., a slot) on a second end. The strap storage rack is removably insertable within the strap storage container.

A printing apparatus includes: a printing unit configured to perform printing on a sheet; a driving unit configured to apply a rotational force to a roll member that is rotatably held; and a pressing unit having a roller configured to apply a pressing force to an outer peripheral surface of a roll sheet wound around the roll member, wherein the pressing unit changes the pressing force during a sequence in which the driving unit applies a rotational force to the roll member and a sheet that has passed through the printing unit is wound.

A winding assembly includes a first supporting member, a pivot shaft, a driving assembly, and a limiting member. The pivot shaft is partly received in the first supporting member. The pivot shaft is configured to support the adhesive tape coil thereon. The adhesive tape coil is configured to be rotatable relative to the first supporting member. The driving assembly includes a secondary shaft. The secondary shaft is partly received in the first supporting member and capable of moving relative to the first supporting member. A first end of the secondary shaft is exterior to the first supporting member and is configured to couple to the hollow rod. The limiting member is spaced a preset distance from the first supporting member and capable of moving relative to the first supporting member. The limiting member and the first supporting member are configured to cooperatively limit the wound adhesive tape.

The subject matter discloses a control mechanism for a scrolling of a Torah parchment in a Torah scroll case, comprising an internal handle located inside a Torah scroll case, mounted on a pole on which the parchment is rolled an external cogwheel located outside of the Torah scroll case, mounted on a pole on which the parchment is rolled, rotation of the external cogwheel results in rotation of the pole; and, a springy unit pressed towards a niche in said external cogwheels utilized to control the movement of the pole on which the parchment is rolled.
