Abstract: Flap folding device of a wrapping machine. Side folding guides approach side flaps to hit a hitting part against the closed side faces of a wrapped body part of a content or volume, thereby pressing a wrapped body part, near the base end of the side flaps that face the closed side faces, against the closed side faces. Subsequently, the middle part of each of the side folding guides makes a quarter turn while tracing a corner continued to the closed side faces,. Therefore, the base ends of the side flaps are folded along the corners while being pulled toward the forward end thereof, and, at the same time, are pressed by folding parts against the open sides, through the entire length, from the base end to the forward end, of the side flaps.

Abstract: A flooring material is composed by interpositioning at least one intermediate layer (2), in the form of a sheet that is weakly adhered to a sheet base material (1) to an extent that at least its upper surface can be easily peeled from said sheet base material (1), within said sheet base material corresponding to the bottoms of wiring grooves (6 and 7) formed in said sheet base material (1). A plurality of cuts are made along cut lines (4 and 5) of said flooring material at a depth that extends to the above-mentioned intermediate layer (2) at prescribed intervals. Wiring grooves (6 and 7) are formed by peeling off portions (1a and 1b) of the sheet base material (1) within said cut lines to enable wiring along said grooves (6 and 7).

Abstract: A packaging apparatus for applying a packaging sheet to cover the contents and simultaneously seal them including an adhering mechanism for adhering tape at corresponding sealing positions of the packaging sheet. The adhering mechanism is movable toward or away from the tape feeding-out mechanisms. Adhering tapes are adhered to the corresponding sealing position while being partially projected. The packaging sheet, including the adhering tapes, is fed out by the sheet feeding-out mechanism to the packaging start position. Concurrent to the completion of the folding of the packaging sheet during the packaging operation, projected portions of the adhering tapes are adhered.

Abstract: A packaging apparatus that compresses the contents in a vertical direction and tightly winds the contents. Upon the lowering of the elevator, compressive receiving plates project above the contents. The elevator is raised to hold the contents between the compressive receiving plates and the contents are compressed in the vertical direction. The winding guides approach each other, while the contents are being compressed. Both ends of the packaging sheet are connected by the fixing elements, and then the compressive receiving plates are pulled out.

Abstract: A fin-tube type heat exchanger has parallel heat transfer tubes and a stack of a plurality of plate fins mounted on the tubes. Heat exchange is conducted between a first fluid flowing through the tubes and a second fluid flowing through the stack across each of the fins. Each fin has flat tube-mounting portions spaced in the longitudinal direction of the fin and formed with tube-mounting holes and a louver section disposed between each adjacent pair of tube-mounting portions. The louver section has elongated slats extending longitudinally of the fin and having side edges each spaced from an adjacent side edge of an adjacent slat. The slats are classified into two groups in respect of the cross-sectional shape. The slats of one group have generally flat cross-sections to reduce the resistance of the fin to the flow of the second fluid through the stack and are disposed in planes offset from the plane of the tube-mounting portions.

Abstract: In order to prevent the eccentricity of a rotary shaft for rotatably supporting an image bearing member used with an image forming apparatus when the image bearing member is rotated, a projection is provided on an outer peripheral surface of the rotary shaft fitted into a fitting hole formed in a casing for securing the rotary shaft.

Abstract: An information processing system capable of editing images is provided. The system can easily cut out desired image information even when the system must designate an arbitrary shape region which is used to cut out and edit image information.

Abstract: A silver halide photographic material, which comprises a support having thereon at least one silver halide emulsion layer, the silver halide emulsion layer containing light-sensitive silver halide grains having a structure such that cores of the respective grains have a completely uniform halide distribution and that shells with a higher silver chloride content than the cores are deposited outside the cores with no projections.

Abstract: A magazine for holding a plurality of articles, such as cartons, which are to be singularly withdrawn at a downstream end, and a method of feeding articles. The magazine includes guides, spaced apart by a distance greater than the width of the cartons in their folded condition, thereby creating a gap between an inner guide surface and one of the edges of the cartons. A pair of stoppers oppositely project toward each other and are spaced apart by a distance less than the width of the cartons, to thereby hold the most downstream carton in a position to facilitate its withdrawal at the discharge end of the magazine. The stoppers are positioned to engage the particular edges of the cartons of which the distance between them is not apt to be variable, to thereby reduce the likelihood of the cartons becoming jammed within the magazine. At least one feed roller projects from one inner guide surface toward the other inner guide surface upstream of the discharge end.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a magnetic tape cassette comprising upper and lower halves of cassette forming the cassette body wherein supply and take-up reels for a tape are to be loaded, a front cover that swivels and covers rotatably the front side of the cassette where the tape runs and a front cover spring that keeps causing the front cover to be swiveled in one direction.In the upper half of cassette offered by the invention, the side wall of the upper half of cassette is provided with a loading opening, and when a shaft provided on the front cover for supporting the front cover when it swivels or rotates is positioned at the corner of the loading opening, it is possible to mount the front cover regularly and finally only on the upper half of cassette owing to a stopper protrusion that checks the downward movement of the shaft provided on the front cover and a slip-prevention protrusion that checks the forward movement of the same shaft.

Abstract: Disclosed are carton assembling method and equipment for sucking and taking out flatwise folded cartons one by one from a magazine by means of suction cups, unfolding each carton squarely on a conveyance path while transferring it downward along a rotative path, and supplying the thus-unfolded cartons to an encasing machine by means of a conveyance mechanism. Each carton is held squarely by a pair of stoppers, utilizing its reaction force acting in the returning direction. Thereafter, the carton is reverse-folded against such reaction force and then unfolded again to remove the folding tendency of the carton acting in the folded direction, thereby permitting the carton to hold itself in a square shape. And at the time of reverse folding, the flaps of each carton are expanded so that a contents charging conveyor can be disposed in close proximity to the cartons.
