UNWINDING OR WINDING ROLLS OF PRINT SUBSTRATE
In one example, a device for unwinding or winding multiple rolls of print substrate includes multiple spindles each to hold a roll of print substrate and a differential operatively connected to one end of each spindle. The spindles are aligned with one another lengthwise along a spindle axis and the differential is to output torque along a differential axis offset from the spindle axis to turn the spindles on the first axis.

Paper sheet storage device and paper sheet processing device
A sheet storage device includes a first reel, a second reel, a third reel, a shaft, a drum, a first differential mechanism and a second differential mechanism. Tips first, second and third tapes respectively unwound from the first reel, the second reel, and the third reel are fixed to the drum, and the drum winds up sheets together with the first, second and third tapes. The first differential mechanism distributes torque input from a torque source to a first path and a second path. The second differential mechanism is provided in the second path and distributes the torque that has been distributed by the first differential mechanism to a third path and a fourth path. The first reel is located in the first path, the second reel is located in the third path, and the third reel is located in the fourth path.

Spindle
In one embodiment, a roll spindle comprises two roll supports and a differential.
Assembly for printer having damped media tray
An assembly of a device having a component, the assembly including a damper having a damper gearwheel coupled to a damper member. The damper member has a first condition restricting motion of the component of the device to a first rate in a first direction and a second condition restricting motion of the component of the device to a second rate in the first direction slower than the first rate. The damper gearwheel is rotationally fixed relative to the damper member when the damper is in the first condition. The damper gearwheel is rotatable relative to the damper member when the damper is in the second condition.
