A floating water mat reel that has a plurality of plates mounted to an axle. A floating water mat is selectively connected to the plates. A crank, connected to the axle is used to rotate the plates so that the mat wraps around the plate.

A roll of label web and method utilize a length of first label web having a plurality of longitudinally spaced adhesive-backed labels removably attached to a substrate wound around a tubular core in such a manner that a first and last label of the first label web are fully intact and usable. The leading and trailing ends of the first label web are cut between labels. The trailing end of the first label web is releasably attached to the core by double-sided releasable adhesive tabs that allow the trailing end of the first label web to pull free from the core for printing the last label. The leading end of the first label web is temporarily secured to the roll by adhesive tabs that are removable without damaging the first label of the first label web.

The invention relates to a method for introducing a material web into a corrugating device having a corrugating roller for generating from the material web a corrugated web. The method comprises the step of attaching at least one double-sided adhesive tape piece which has a first adhesive face and a second adhesive face that is opposite the first adhesive face to the material web by means of the first adhesive face upstream of the corrugating device of the material web, and guiding the material web through the corrugating device in such a manner that the second adhesive face adheres to the rotating corrugating roller while entraining the material web for introducing the material web.

A roll-to-roll apparatus reliably reduces breakage of a glass film even in a case of sequentially performing predetermined processing on the glass film. Provided is a glass roll (1) formed by winding a glass film (2) into a roll, in which a resin film (4) is attached onto the glass film (2), and at least a part of the resin film (4) is arranged on a front side of an unwinding direction relative to a leading end portion in the unwinding direction of the glass film (2).

A coiling device that includes a coiler (1) having a coiling mandrel (3) for coiling a metal strip, and a coiling swing arm (4) having front and a rear pressure rollers (5, 6) and a deflection plate (7). A swing arm drive (8) lines up the coiling swing arm (4) with the coiling mandrel (3) and is driven away from the coiling mandrel (3). An upper duct flap (9) upstream of the coiler (1) in the feed direction (x) guides the metal strip (2). A flap drive (10) positions the upper duct flap (9) such that, when the coiling swing arm (4) is lined up with the coiling mandrel (3), the upper duct flap is arranged between the coiling mandrel (3) and the front pressure roller (5) of the coiling swing arm (4) or is arranged upstream of the front pressure roller (5) of the coiling swing arm (4).

A packaged flexible film is described. The packaged flexible film includes (i) a cylindrical core having an outer surface; (ii) a supply of flexible film wound about the core with a leading edge adjacent the outer surface and forming a connection ridge along the outer surface; and (iii) a cover strip comprising a compressed compressible cover material covering said connection ridge. Also described are a packaging system for flexible film and a multilayer flexible film packaging tape.

A bobbin installation unit includes a bobbin, a film supply unit configured to supply an electrode-connecting film to the bobbin, a transfer unit configured to transfer the electrode-connecting film installed in the film supply unit to the bobbin installation unit, an adhesive tape attaching unit installed above the bobbin installation unit and configured to attach an end portion of the electrode-connecting film drawn out to the transfer unit to the bobbin. It also includes a double-sided tape attaching unit configured to attach a double-sided tape to the electrode-connecting film wound on the bobbin, and a frame body on which the adhesive tape attaching unit and the double-sided tape attaching unit are movably installed.

Improved object wrapping materials exhibiting a number of beneficial properties to overcome prior deficiencies are provided. Such properties include the inclusion of a separation interface overlay that allows for greater rigidity at the leading and trailing edges of such wraps. Also, the inclusion of shear-reducing wrap material portions is described, as well as recoil reduction structures within the leading edge regions. Furthermore, core adhesive additions allow for greater resiliency to the base wrap material as it unwinds therefrom, reducing potential waste wrap products by permitting greater amounts of wrap materials in use. Other considerations include the ability, through proper configuration designs, to position a wrap separation indicator within a certain range of distances from the trailing edge, thereby providing greater reliability of wrap application device disengagement during wrap application. Such benefits are thus supplied individually and in tandem for improved versatility and utility of such wrap materials.

Provided is a glass roll (1), including: a winding core (2); a film body (F), which is taken up into a roll shape by the winding core (2), and includes a glass film (3) and a scattering prevention film (7) having a smaller width than the glass film (3); and flanges (8) which are mounted to the winding core (2), and which are arranged on both sides of the film body (F) in a width direction. The film body (F) includes a detachable displacement prevention film (6) on a termination end portion side of the glass film (3) in a take-up direction. The displacement prevention film (6) includes a wide portion (6a) having a lager width than the glass film (3).

Method for applying glue on tubular cores for the production of logs of paper material, comprising the step of supplying in sequence more tubular cores (1) along a predetermined advancing direction (A) and the step of applying on each of said cores (1) a predetermined amount of glue on a first point (P6) and on a second point (P7). The method further comprises a step of orienting the glue (G6) applied on the first point (P6) towards the second point (P7) and along said advancing direction (A), and orienting the glue (G7) applied on the second point (P7) towards the first point (P6) and along a direction opposite relative to said advancing direction (A).
