A roller is biased toward the stretch wrap roll to ensure an even flow of stretch film from the roll and more consistent tension on the film dispensed from the roll. The roller includes a groove. A cutting member is disposed to rest in the groove such that stretch film passes over and around the roller as it is dispensed from the roll and then engages the cutting member in the grove before the stretch film separates from the roller.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2017Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: Encore Packaging LLCInventors: Timothy H.
