  • Patent number: 8938939
    Abstract: A trolley apparatus for dispensing plastic stretch wrap film from a roll suitable for wrapping a pallet of stacked loose goods, characterized by a transportable frame structure having wheels or castors to provide support and mobility, the frame having a means of adjusting the height of the roll, the frame is provided with a guide roller positioned for use as a fulcrum point for generating tension in the stretch wrap film, and, a cutter for detaching the stretch wrap film at the completion of the operation, the end of the stretch wrap film being retained for next use.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7984740
    Abstract: A flexible magnetized portion applicator is disclosed. The apparatus applies a portion of flexible self-adhesive magnetized material (31) onto a card that is typically promotional in nature, for it to be held magnetically against a metal surface, via the method of pulling the magnetized material's adhesive release-coated backing paper (28) between rollers that grip the material (25) and (26), which when correctly rotated, draw suitably wide, adhesive-backed magnetized material (12) from a roll (13) into the apparatus (11) to project the material (28) over a stationary lower blade (18) and then cut a portion via a shear action (30) between a descending upper blade (19) mounted on a linear actuating ram (21) and the stationary lower blade (18), to then carry via the magnetism possessed within each portion (32) and press-apply (36) the self-adhesive portion of magnetised material (31) onto the upper-most card in a stack of cards (35) residing beneath the apparatus positioned to receive the said portion.

  • Publication number: 20080272161
    Abstract: A supporting means to support various articles up to and against a person's head comprising of a band (A) of suitably resilient material that can be bent to approximate the shape of a person's head and fitted with components (B1, B2) that interface with the person's head and articles to be supported (B3) and by remaining static in bent shape performs its function without clamping or spring tightening to be worn by and remain upon a person's head.
