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 printing apparatus includes a feed shaft configured to feed a medium in a roll form by supporting and rotating the medium, a conveyance unit including a driving roller, a driven roller and an endless conveyance belt and configured to convey, in a conveyance direction, the medium supported by the conveyance belt by rotating the driving roller forward, a printing head configured to perform printing on the medium supported by the conveyance belt, and an ear portion winding shaft configured to wind up ear portions of the medium separated from the medium supported by the feed shaft.

An unwinder (1) of rolls (B1, B2) including a bearing structure (3) and two pairs of arms (11A, 11B; 13A, 13B) supported movable on the bearing structure (3). The unwinder further includes a splicing machine (31). The bearing structure (3) includes a base (5) and an upright (7) extending from the base, on which a cross member (33) is supported. The cross member (33) includes an intermediate portion (33A) rigidly bound to the upright (7) and a pair of lateral supports (33B, 33C) adapted to assume at least one operating position and one non-operating position, with respect to the inter-mediate portion (33A) of the cross member (33).

A winding device is capable of easily moving a flange portion to a position corresponding to a width of a continuous medium. A winding device that winds a print medium, the winding device including a winding shaft, a winding core portion that is provided to be rotatable on the winding shaft and that winds a continuous medium, a first flange portion that is provided on the winding shaft to be movable in an extending direction of the winding shaft and that guides the continuous medium wound around the winding core portion in a width direction of the continuous medium, a flange-side engaging portion capable of moving integrally with the first flange portion, and a flange moving section that includes a cylindrical cam provided with a cam-side engaging portion that engages with the flange-side engaging portion and that moves the first flange portion to a plurality of flange positions.

Rolling assembly for packaging web material in a roll having a base member with concave arcuate feed surface defining an upwardly-extending ramp, first intermediate member movably coupled to base member, and top member moveably coupled to at least one of base member or first intermediate member, top member having a concave arcuate pressure surface facing feed surface of base member. The base member, first intermediate member and top member collectively forming an iris with a feed space, the iris moveable between a first condition and a second condition, and configured to receive web material along the feed surface and direct the web material upwardly toward the top member to form a roll within the feed space, the iris moving toward a second condition as the roll of web material increases in cross dimension against the pressure surface of the top member.
