Abstract: A filament winding apparatus includes a rail extending in a first direction, a core material support device that supports a core material, and a winding device that winds a fiber bundle onto an outer peripheral surface of the core material, the winding device including: a guide unit having an opening through which the core material passes, and guiding the fiber bundle; and a main frame on which the guide unit is mounted; wherein the main frame is movable relative to the core material in the first direction, the main frame is movable in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, and the main frame is rotatable around a first rotational axis extending in a third direction orthogonal to each of the first direction and the second direction.

Abstract: A filament winding device includes a fiber bundle retainer that temporarily retains fiber bundles. The fiber bundle retainer includes: a reel member including an outer peripheral portion having pins movable in the axial direction relative to the fiber bundles supplied through fiber bundle guides and rotatable about the axis of the liner, the reel member capable of winding the fiber bundles onto the outer peripheral portion; a first cutting unit configured to cut a part of each of the fiber bundles in the circumferential direction, the part being between a part of the fiber bundle wound on the outer peripheral portion and a part of the fiber bundle wound on the liner; and a second cutting unit different from the first cutting unit and configured to cut a part of each of the fiber bundles in the axial direction, the part being wound on the outer peripheral portion.

Abstract: A label printing device includes: a conveying unit configured to convey a mountless label; a shaft portion configured to change a conveying direction of the mountless label; a cutting unit configured to cut the mountless label of which the conveying direction is changed by the shaft portion and issue a label; and a controller configured to control the conveying unit and the cutting unit. The controller executes a preparatory operation mode in which the mountless label is conveyed a predetermined distance longer than a length of a portion extending from the shaft portion to the cutting unit in the mountless label by the conveying unit and is cut by the cutting unit when a label is not issued for more than a predetermined time.

Abstract: A label issuing apparatus includes: a storage unit that stores a plurality of pieces of product information regarding a product; a print control unit that generates print data defining that a barcode, in which at least one piece of the product information stored in the storage unit is encoded, and a digital watermark, in which at least one piece of the product information encoded as the barcode is embedded, are arranged on one product label and the barcode and the digital watermark are arranged at different positions on the one product label; and a label issuing unit that issues the product label on which the barcode and the digital watermark are displayed at different positions by printing information based on the print data on a label.

Abstract: A packaging system according to an aspect is a packaging system formed by connecting an external server to a plurality of packaging apparatuses via a network. The external server stores control parameters for the packaging apparatuses to package an article to be packaged in an optimal state. The packaging apparatus communicates with the external server, downloads necessary control parameters, and controls a packaging operation by using the downloaded control parameters. Accordingly, a setting operation performed in each of the packaging apparatuses can be significantly reduced.

Abstract: To facilitating arrangement of a muffler and a rear fender without increasing the size of a motorcycle. A motorcycle includes a front wheel, an engine, and a rear wheel disposed on a vehicle body in this order from the front. An exhaust pipe extends rearwardly from the engine with a muffler provided at the rear end of the exhaust pipe. The muffler is disposed on the rear portion of the vehicle body frame between left and right rear frames above the rear wheel. Stays extend downwardly from the left and the right rear frames. A rear fender is disposed below the muffler and is attached to the stays. The muffler is tapered from the upper portion toward the lower portion when viewed from the rear. The left and the right rear frames comprise a rear seat, which is wider than the muffler, at a level higher than the muffler.
