Abstract: A foil roll having a wound stiffener core formed from an initially flat sheet of stiffener material fed into a spiral roll winder simultaneously with a feed end of a foil web. An apparatus and method for spirally winding a foil roll with a wound stiffener core in which a stiffener sheet is fed into a roll winder in adjacent outward contact with a foil web and a leading edge of the stiffener slightly ahead of a feed end of a foil web. The stiffener sheet is outwardly disposed from the foil web and in adjacent contact with the roll starter guides to prevent contact between guides and the foil web during initial core formation. Roll starter guides are moved from contact with the outer periphery of the roll once the initial core is formed allowing a desired length of foil web to be spirally wound around the core without damage to the web.

Abstract: A multi-part fence cap system. The fence cap system has a base unit sized and shaped for attachment to a fence post. A cap portion, selectable from a plurality of different shaped cap portions, is sized and shaped for interfitting mating engagement with an upper attachment flange of the base unit. Available cap portion include a pyramidal shaped cap, a flat top cap with sloping peripheral edges, and a cardinal hat shaped dome cap. For convenience, in one embodiment the cap portion is provided with a snap-on feature to allow a substantially leakless finished fence cap design. For over size posts, an adapter sub-base unit is provided for receiving therein the base unit. In one embodiment, the fence posts are rectangular, and the base unit is adapted to fit over the exposed upper end of the fence post.

Abstract: A paper roll holder comprises a back wall, a concave bottom, a pair of side walls, and a front wall having an upper edge. The back wall, concave bottom, pair of side walls and front wall form a cavity for holding the paper roll. The cavity has sufficient depth for a horizontal plane taken at the upper edge of the front wall to substantially intersect the longitudinal axis of the paper roll in the cavity to brace the paper roll upon separation of sheets of paper from the paper roll. The upper edge of the front wall provides a contact surface for supporting and separating perforated sheets from the paper roll.
