A system for handling sheets of flexible material. The system comprises a first roller (5.2) which comprises a plurality of first releasable connectors (3.2) and a second roller (5.3) which comprises a plurality of second releasable connectors. The system further comprises an array of third releasable connectors (2.1) which is displaceable between at least the first and second rollers (5.2, 5.3). The first, second and third releasable connectors releasably attach to a sheet of flexible material in use.

An apparatus and method for forming a plurality of individually folded and rolled wipe products, which allows for multiple individually folded and rolled wipe products to be processed concurrently, and which maintains moisture in the wipe product during manufacturing.

A paper sheet storage device includes a supply reel that supplies a rolled tape; a winding drum around which a banknote is wound together with the tape supplied from the supply reel; a first detection unit that detects a supply amount of the tape supplied from the supply reel; and a second detection unit that detects the winding drum of which the outer diameter becomes equal to or larger than a predetermined outer diameter when the banknote is wound around the winding drum together with the tape.

This disclosure relates to a winding machine which has a plurality of equi-rotating rolls, at least two guide elements arranged mirror-wise, between which the sheets to be rolled up pass, with arched distal portions arranged in a mirror-like manner, the two guide elements being connected to a support configured to position in a mutually exclusive manner only one guide element at a time in the rolling space defined between the winding rollers. Moreover, the winding machine is equipped with a motor unit controlled so as to rotate the winding rollers in a direction or in the opposite direction depending on which of the two guide elements has its respective distal portion facing the rolling space.

The present disclosure provides a support assembly and a storage and deployment apparatus for a flexible display panel. The support assembly of the present disclosure is configured to support a flexible display panel, and includes: a support structure configured to support the flexible display panel, and a driving structure configured to drive the support structure against the flexible display panel. At least a portion of the support structure is fixedly connected to the flexible display panel so that when the flexible display panel is reciprocated in a first direction and a second direction, the support structure is switchable between a first state and a second state. The support structure has a smaller support surface in the first state than in the second state, and the first direction is opposite to the second direction.

An apparatus for folding sheets and corresponding method, including at least a conditioning body, at least a folding unit and at least an extraction mean suitable to fold sheets in sequence of variable formats, maintaining high cadences and at the same time simplifying the structure for the maintenance operations and/or format-changes.

A sheet processing apparatus includes a transport path for transporting a sheet in a predetermined transport direction; a folding unit disposed along the transport path to perform folding processing on a sheet transported through the transport path; and a downstream-side unit disposed on a downstream side in the transport direction along the transport path to perform processing on a sheet transported from the folding unit. The folding unit includes a space section disposed at a lower side of the transport path for forming a cylindrical shape on a sheet; a transport roller disposed in the transport path to transport a sheet to the space section; and folding rollers to form a fold at a predetermined position on a sheet in which the cylindrical shape is formed. The space section is provided in a range of overlapping the downstream-side unit in a height direction orthogonal to the transport direction.

A tape removal hub for a temporary tape removing apparatus which includes a hub plug having a noncircular through bore complementarily shaped to receive the noncircular shaft portion of a spool spindle shaft of the temporary tape removing apparatus and a length of pipe or tubing into which the hub plug is inserted.

A system for handling sheets of flexible material. The system comprises a first roller (5.2) which comprises a plurality of first releasable connectors (3.2) and a second roller (5.3) which comprises a plurality of second releasable connectors. The system further comprises an array of third releasable connectors (2.1) which is displaceable between at least the first and second rollers (5.2, 5.3). The first, second and third releasable connectors releasably attach to a sheet of flexible material in use.

A device for removing road tape from a surface comprises a body, and a drive assembly coupled to the body. The drive assembly comprises a motor having a drive wheel, at least one drive belt, a rolling drum drive wheel configured to engage the at least one drive belt, and at least one rolling drum configured to secure an end of the road tape. The rolling drum is configured to rotate in response to rotation of the rolling drum drive wheel and wind the road tape about a circumference. The winding of the road tape drives the body in a forward direction.
