  • Patent number: 8925613
    Abstract: A medium transporting apparatus is used for transporting a label web including a carrier web and labels adhered thereto. A platen roller transports the label web in a transport path. A pressure roller is disposed downstream of the separating member with respect to the transport path, and causes the carrier web to be kinked. The pressure roller urges the carrier web against the platen roller. A support member is mounted on a cover and rotatably supports the pressure roller. The cover is pivoted between an open position and a closed. Immediately after the cover has moved to the closed position, the pressure roller contacts the platen roller and then slides by a predetermined amount on the circumferential surface of the platen roller in a direction away from the separating member. Thus, the carrier web sandwiched between the pressure and platen rollers becomes taut.

  • Patent number: 8256485
    Abstract: The invention comprises separating the strippings of a strip of paper and of a precut prepreg into strippings to be discarded and blanks to be kept using a suction roller that is tangent to the strip along an action line. In a downstream position, a device collects the blanks on said rectilinear path, and a device closer to the roller discharges the strippings. The paper runs through the device along said rectilinear path while maintaining the blanks thereon, and a strip temporary diversion device, capable of orthogonal movement relative to the strip, temporarily diverts the strip and brings it closer to the roller in order to facilitate the initial peeling of the strippings.

  • Publication number: 20120211173
    Abstract: The invention relates to a label ejection device (101, 201, 301, 401, 501, 601, 1201, 1301), a labeling printing system comprising said device and a method for discarding labels, in particular self-adhesive labels (103, 203, 303, 403, 603). The invention is concerned in particular with preventing faulty labels from being applied to items (or containers containing such items), with minimal attendant interruption of machine operation. The effective labeling systems and equipment are not perfect and, on occasion, “incorrect” or faulty labels (103, 203, 303, 403, 603) may be applied to containers. There is a need for an improved label ejection device (101, 201, 301, 401, 501, 601, 1201, 1301) and an improved labeling printing system that more efficiently and effectively removes labels (103, 203, 303, 403, 503, 603) from a sheet like support (104, 204, 304, 404, 504, 604, 1204).

  • Patent number: 8182632
    Abstract: The wafer table (31) for holding a wafer (20) having the back surface thereof supported by a mount frame (36) via a dicing film (3) and the front surface thereof with a surface protective film (11) attached thereon is described. A groove (60) is formed in the area of the table corresponding to at least a part of the outer periphery of the wafer. Further, the table includes a holding means (33) for holding the wafer to the front surface of the table and a suction means for suction of the air in the groove. Thus, the dicing film can be positively collapsed in the groove while at the same time being restored to the original position.

  • Patent number: 8167017
    Abstract: A system for dispensing adhesive-backed labels includes a housing assembly defining a first dispensing outlet, a system for conveying a supply of label material along a feed path and a peeler bar, positionable from a first position to a second position, to effect an abrupt directional change in the feed path thereof, and cause the face material to separate from the liner material. A processor is employed to control the bi-directional displacement of the conveyance system and position the peeler bar within the housing such that the label material is: (i) conveyed downstream of the peeler bar when the peeler bar is in the first position, and (ii) drawn back across the peeler bar to cause a trailing edge of the face material to separate form the liner material when the peeler bar is in the second position.

  • Patent number: 8110069
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for removing donor sheets from substrates. A take-up roller contacts the donor element at or near an edge thereof and a peel roller contacts the donor element at a location spaced apart from the edge. A securing mechanism secures the edge of the donor element to the take-up roller which is then moved away from the substrate. While maintaining the peel roller in contact with the donor element, the take-up roller is rotated to take up the donor element while the peel roller and take-up roller are both simultaneously moved in a direction tangential to the substrate. In this manner, the donor element is peeled from the surface of the substrate.

    Abstract: Apparatus are provided for attaching to a composite tape lamination machine in order to remove composite scrap tape material from a backing paper. When a moveable member is in one position composite non-scrap tape material on a backing paper is directed along a path to avoid a removing member and keep composite non-scrap tape material on a backing paper. When the moveable member is in another position composite scrap tape material on a backing paper is directed along a different path to contact the removing member and remove composite scrap tape material from a backing paper. Composite scrap tape material may be disposed in a scrap disposal member. Backing paper having attached composite non-scrap tape material and not having attached composite scrap tape material may be spooled using a spool roller.
