Abstract: Described is a drawing table having a flat, rectangular surface disposed horizontally and having a pair of parallel elongated support members attached on opposing sides of the surface. Spindles are provided on opposing ends of the rectangular surface, and the spindles connect the pair of parallel elongated support members. A roll of paper can be suspended on a spindle and the paper can be stretched across the surface. The free end of the paper can be secured on the opposing side of the table by threading the paper through a slot that extends through the opposing spindle. The surface may further include a chalkboard thereon and one or more paper holders that maintain the position of the paper on the surface. Further, the drawing table includes legs that can be folded for storage, or unfolded so as to support the drawing table surface in a horizontal, elevated position.

Abstract: A conveyance mechanism by which a recording medium can be conveyed intermittently; a recording mechanism for recording by reciprocatingly scanning a recording head in a direction that intersects with a direction of conveyance of the recording medium by the conveyance mechanism; a turret to which a plurality of take-up spindles for taking up the recording medium are provided; rotational mechanisms of the take-up spindles; a rotational mechanism of the turret; and a control unit for controlling the rotational mechanisms of the take-up spindles and the rotational mechanism of the turret so as to cause the take-up spindles and/or the turret to be rotated intermittently so as to correspond to the intermittent conveyance by the conveyance mechanism.

Abstract: A device for manufacturing a composite body of a continuous sheet-like member by attaching and handing over a retained workpiece to a continuous sheet-like member, at a workpiece hand over position including a rotating body that rotates about a rotating shaft, a workpiece retaining portion supported by the rotating body in a state where a retaining surface that retains the workpiece faces outward in a direction of radius of gyration of the rotating body, a workpiece hand over mechanism that is positioned to accord with the workpiece hand over position along a direction of rotation of the rotating body, and that hands over the workpiece from the retaining surface to the continuous sheet-like member when the retaining surface passes the workpiece hand over position, wherein the workpiece hand over mechanism has a roller that comes into contact with the continuous sheet-like member to transport the continuous sheet-like member, and a pushing mechanism that is capable of pushing out an outer circumferential face

Abstract: A paper web (W) is longitudinally divided into slit webs of desired widths and the slit webs are wound into rolls (R) about roll cores (H) at a winding station (17A, 17B). The web is cut by a web-severing device (16) in conjunction with the roll set change of the winding operation. At least two slitter assemblies (15A, 15B) are employed for slitting the web (W) and, when given ones of the slitter assemblies (15A, 15B) are slitting the web (W) into one set of slit webs, the desired ones of the other slitter assemblies (15A, 15B) are preset into desired slitting width positions for slitting the next set of slit webs. The winding apparatus has slitter assemblies (15) for longitudinally dividing a web (W) into slit webs and a winding station (17A; 17B) for winding the slit webs into rolls (R) and a web-severing device for cutting the web.

Abstract: Apparatus for use in the manufacture of roller blinds includes means for mounting and rotating one or more roller blind tubes, means for aligning the fabric and means for cutting the fabric to a desired width. Each of these means is arranged in a fix angular arrangement with respect to the other. The mounting means are adjustable to accommodate roller blind tubes of different lengths and the width cutting means are adjustable also. Preferably an adjustable width cutting means and an adjustable mounting means are mounted on a common bracket for adjustment in a single step.

Abstract: A method of forming sheet rolls made of a heat transfer recording sheet having a transfer ink layer on a surface of a base by winding the recording sheet around the outer peripheries of a plurality of cores. The method includes supplying a web heat transfer recording sheet, cutting a portion thereof corresponding to a region between two adjacent sheet rolls to form cut ends, placing a non-adhesive waste sheet and a pair of adhesive tapes attached to the waste sheet ends between the transfer recording sheet, the tapes having an adhesive portion, an outside-exposed portion, and a portion attached to a cut end of the recording sheet, winding the sheet around a core outer periphery, positioning the waste sheet between winding apparatus and a discharging portion, and cutting the waste sheet so positioned.

Abstract: A machine that has an assembly formed from a frame on which is rotatably mounted on a drum with parallel winding cores. This assembly is mounted so as to move translationally in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the axes of the drum and of the cores, while the sheet product feeding mechanism is fixed. The translational displacement of the movable assembly allows its gradual advance as the diameter of a reel being formed grows and also makes it possible to leave, between this assembly and the sheet product feeding mechanism, a gap available for an operator, for the purpose of introducing the leading edge of the sheet product onto one of the cores.
