Abstract: The present invention relates to a cover member for a storing means, a respective storing means and a gripping system, comprising said storing means. Further, the present invention relates to a method for gripping and separating stacked flat elements. The cover member is adapted for being installed on a top side of a storing means for storing a stack of multiple flat elements 100 having a predefined size. The cover member 1 defines a first opening 13 having a rim portion 13a, 13b, wherein the first opening 13 is adapted to be associated with at least one gripping unit 30, so that the gripping unit 30 can access the storing means for gripping and removing a flat element 102 through the first opening 13, when the cover member 1 is installed on the top side of the storing means 10. The first opening is sized so that a gripped flat element 102 abuts the rim portion 13a, 13b when being removed through the first opening 13 from the storing means, so as to be bend and separated from an underlying flat element 104.

Abstract: There is provided a roll sheet assembly including a cardboard tube, a roll sheet wound around the cardboard tube, and a pair of flanges each disposed at one of both ends of the cardboard tube. The flanges each include a flange main body covering an end face of the roll sheet, a cylindrical body projecting at a center of an inner surface of the flange main body, and being inserted into the cardboard tube, and a fixing unit fixing the cylindrical body being inserted into the cardboard tube to an inner circumferential surface of the cardboard tube. The cylindrical body has a spiral cutting line formed thereon.

Abstract: A roll of a sheet material such as a sheet vinyl floor covering and a process of manufacturing the roll to prevent the leading edge of the floor covering from causing damage to succeeding layers. The process comprises winding the sheet material about the surface of a roll core and inserting a thin sheet of a relatively stiff material, such as paperboard, between the leading edge of the sheet material and the next succeeding layer of sheet material. The relatively stiff material is inserted under tension so that the leading edge of sheet material is pulled down against the surface of the roll core.

Abstract: A transport housing for a coil or a coil block, having an upper and a lower pressing plate, wherein the coil or the coil block is arranged between the two pressing plates and the latter can be braced against each other by a plurality of tension rods in the manner of an axial tension configuration. A frame enclosing the coil or the coil block to which a membrane, movable both toward the inner chamber of the transport housing and toward the outside, is fastened and having an outer housing which provides mechanical protection for the membrane and enables unhindered or allows movement of the membrane to the outside.

Abstract: Provided is a glass roll utilizing a flanged roll core, and reliably inhibiting a glass film from breaking from an end portion in a width direction thereof as an origin of breakage. A glass roll (1) is formed by winding a glass film (4) and a cushion sheet (5), under a state of being superposed, around a roll core (3) including a flange (2) at each end portion thereof, in which an end portion in a width direction of the glass film (4) is separated from the flange (2) on each side in the width direction of the glass film (4), and the cushion sheet (5) is extended beyond the end portion in the width direction of the glass film (4) to the flange (2) side, to thereby form an extension portion (5a).

Abstract: A tape dispenser of the present invention includes an integrally-formed main body. The main body has a rack and two semi-crusts. The semi-crusts are pivotably connected to the rack, so that the semi-crusts can be closed for a tape roll to be received therein. Or, the semi-crusts can be opened for placing or replacing the tape roll. The rack has a front plate and a top plate. The front plate, the top plate, and the semi-crusts are rectangularly arranged. Thus, structure strength of the tape dispenser is increased.

Abstract: A thermal paper roll includes a paper core, a thermal paper wound on the paper core, a flange attached to at least one end surface of the paper core, and a contacted surface formed on a plane intersecting a roll axis of the paper core at a side opposite to the paper core side of the flange in order to detect or identify a state of the thermal paper roll.

Abstract: A reel including a columnar wind-up unit 3 and a pair of opposing side plates 2 and 2 provided such that the wind-up unit is between the side plates, wherein the inner surface of at least one side plate 2 is provided with a projection 21.

Abstract: A film-feeding roller is applicable to an air cushion maker and facilitates alignment of a plastic film roll on roll supporters of the air cushion maker, so as to ensure a plastic film to be continuously and straight released from the film roll to be made into an air cushion.

Abstract: An aspect of the present invention relates to a magnetic tape reel. The magnetic tape reel comprises a hub on which a magnetic tape is wound, and a flange provided on at least one of upper and lower ends of the hub. The flange comprises a surface coating on at least a portion of a surface thereof on the hub side, the surface coating having a hardness equal to or greater than a hardness of an edge surface of the magnetic tape. A further aspect of the present invention relates to a magnetic tape cartridge comprising a magnetic tape and the magnetic tape reel.

Abstract: One embodiment includes a product comprising: a toilet paper roll housing comprising a first portion comprising a first partial cylinder portion, a first end wall, and a second end wall; a second portion comprising a second partial cylinder portion, a third end wall, and a fourth end wall, wherein at least one of the first end wall and the second end wall or the third end wall and the fourth end wall each comprise a receiving portion to receive the terminal end of a toilet paper rod supporting a toilet paper roll for rotational movement thereon; wherein the first portion is constructed and arranged to slide at least one of over or under the second portion in an open position to allow access to the toilet paper roll.

Abstract: An apparatus for processing a rolled article has a rotary supporting mechanism for rotatably supporting opposite ends of a photosensitive roll, an end drawing mechanism for drawing a sheet end of the photosensitive roll to a prescribed length, a pressing mechanism for supporting opposite surfaces of the sheet end, and an applying mechanism for applying a joint tape to the sheet end supported by the pressing mechanism in a transverse direction of the photosensitive roll.

Abstract: A photographic film unit has a spool having a shaft and a pair of opposed flanges fixed to the shaft. The shaft defines a spool axis. The flanges each have an inner face and an outer face. The inner faces each have a main portion and a periphery. The periphery is disposed radially and axially outward from the main portion. The filmstrip has opposed first and second ends. The first end is wound on the shaft. The filmstrip has a transverse dimension less than the axial separation of the main portions. A leader is conjoined with the second end. The leader has an inner segment adjoining the filmstrip and an outer segment adjoining the inner segment. The inner segment has a transverse dimension less than the axial separation of the main portions. The outer segment has a transverse dimension less than the axial separation of the peripheries.
