Abstract: Packaging machine for the production of packs having at least one wrapping consisting of packaging material, the wrapping being provided with a changeable print, in particular a code. A printing mechanism (11) having printing tools (25, 26) serves for applying printing characters or codes to packaging material. These printing tools must be capable of being actuated at short time intervals in order to adapt the code. For this purpose, a printing roller (14) receiving the printing tools (25, 26) can be moved out of a working position into an adjusting position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus calendering a fiber web, wherein the fiber web passes through an extended and heated nip, said nip being formed on one side by a cylindrical heated roll and on the other side by a flexible tubular jacket which is pressed against the heated roll by means of a concave load shoe, said tubular jacket surrounding a stationary support beam which supports at least one actuator which may urge said load shoe and said flexible tubular jacket against said heated roll, and wherein the extension of the load shoe in the axial extension is less than the axial extension of the jacket and the heated roll such that when the load shoe is urged against the heated roll there will be formed tapered sections at each side end of the jacket within the nip characterised in that said tapered section are substantially covered by said fiber web such that a small strips of the fiber web at each edge is not calendered in said extended nip.

Abstract: A can draining device 10 for separating the solid and liquid contents of a can 100 by applying a downward force on the severed lid 101 of the can 100 wherein the device 10 includes an upper lever unit 11" pivotally secured to a lower lever unit 11' wherein both lever units are provided with lever arm members 20, 30 provided on one end with rearwardly projecting handle members 24, 34 and further provided on their other ends with pivoted jaw members 40; wherein the jaw members 40 allow the captively engaged can 100 and severed lid 101 to be pivoted relative to the handle members 24, 34 to facilitate the draining of liquid from within the can 100.

Abstract: Round balers include bale shaping elements which define the boundary of the bale forming chamber. One part of the bale shaping elements can be swung by an attached structural arm into the bale forming chamber. The amount the elements are swung into the chamber is defined by the tensional forces on a spring. These tensional forces can be manually adjusted using a device, in a stepwise manner. One embodiment includes a handheld lever and a stepped shift-gate.
