An expansion device includes an unexpanded slit sheet roll that is wound on a paper core that is longer than the width of the slit sheet paper roll. The paper core is placed onto a rod member. An adjustable downward pressure is exerted on the paper core and the paper core exerts pressure on the rod member. As the paper is pulled, the downward pressure creates the friction required to enable the unexpanded slit, sheet to be unwind and fed while simultaneously expanding.

A Support for adhesive tape, including: a cylindrical, or substantially cylindrical, body configured to be inserted inside the tubular core of the adhesive tape; a base, associated with the cylindrical body, to which, in turn, a connecting element to an operator’s garment, or to an operator’s accessory, or to further parts of the operator’s equipment, is associated; at least a retractable element, provided along the lateral surface of said cylindrical body, including a control suitable for selectively actuating said retractable element from a retention configuration of the adhesive tape on the cylindrical body, to a configuration of free removal of the adhesive tape from the cylindrical body, and vice versa.

The present invention relates to a machine for producing multi-layer cardboard or paper, or a machine for either printing or converting, starting from a reel of paper, cardboard or other material. In general, the invention can be applied to machines wherein a reel of different materials is unwound and which requires a contrast system to regulate the tensioning of the ribbon. In particular, the invention relates to a system for braking said reel.

In particular, the invention relates to a braking system (2) for a support member (1) of a reel (B), for example, a reel of paper in a machine for producing cardboard or corrugated cardboard, wherein said braking system (2) comprises a motor-generator device (8) and a mechanical brake device (9) arranged coaxially.

Exemplary embodiments pertain to a combined shipping and expansion device for shipping a roll of unexpanded slit sheet material and for expanding the slit sheet material. In some examples, the device includes: a container made with recyclable paper or board; a roll of slit sheet material wound around a core member and positioned within the container; the roll of slit sheet material having a slit pattern that forms open cells upon expansion; the core member being made with recyclable paper or board and having a length greater than a width of the roll of slit sheet wound around the core member and having protrusions that extend beyond each side of the roll of slit sheet material; a plurality of yoke members within the container, including at least one yoke member that rotatably receives a first of the protrusions and at least one yoke member that rotatably receives a second of the protrusions; and the container having a dispensing opening through which the slit sheet material wound around the core member can be extended and pulled, causing the core member to rotate relative to the yoke members via rotation of the roll of slit sheet material. The combined shipping and expansion device is made from substantially entirely recyclable paper or board materials, whereby after complete dispensing of the slit sheet material from the shipping and expansion device, the combined shipping and expansion device can be recycled in a paper recycling facility.

The coating film transfer tool includes: a feeding core around which transfer tape is wound and that feeds a piece of transfer tape, the piece of transfer tape including a piece of base tape and a coating film that is provided on one surface of the piece of base tape; a transfer head that presses the coating film against a transfer target and transfers the coating film thereonto; a winding core that winds up the piece of base tape from which the coating film has been transferred; and an intermediate roller that rotates as the piece of transfer tape travels, in contact with a first surface of the piece of transfer tape fed from the feeding core, the first surface being a surface on which the coating film is not provided. A second surface of the intermediate roller is adhesive with respect to the first surface.

A roll holder is for a label roll of linerless labels wound in a crosswise manner. The roll holder has: a horizontally arranged spindle, which is held by a stand on at least one side, and a rotatable roll mount, which is oriented in parallel with the spindle, and which is mounted on the spindle. The roll mount is mounted on the spindle in a linearly displaceable manner using at least one linear bearing.
