Abstract: Wide ply gaps are intentionally introduced into one or more plies in a radially intermediate zone of the wall of a spirally wound tube. Each ply having wide ply gaps is narrower than the width that would ordinarily be employed at a given spiral winding angle to achieve a butt joint between adjacent edges of consecutive turns of the ply, and the ply is wound at that given spiral winding angle in such a manner that gaps are defined between the adjacent edges of the consecutive turns of the ply. The wide ply gaps have the effect of increasing the compliance of the intermediate zone of the tube wall in the radial direction. Such increased radial compliance has been found to improve the ID stiffness of the tube relative to a tube constructed of the same materials but having no ply gaps in the intermediate zone.

Abstract: To shape paperboard sheets into cylindrical winding cores in a winder instead of using ready-made hollow core tubes thereby doing away with the necessity of waste disposal of used winding cores or facilitating the discarding disposal by restoring them to the original flat shape. In the winding of a web using a multi-spindle turret type of winder, the spindle positions of the turret are allotted to a winding core shaping station, a web winding-up station and a wind-roll removal station. At the winding core shaping station, each sheet of paperboard is rolled and lapped around a winding core shaft and butt joining parts are attached with a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape to shape each winding core, shaped winding cores are transferred to the web winding-up station by the turning movement of the turret to conduct the winding, each full wind-up roll is transferred with further turning movement to the removal station and removed from the winder.

Abstract: Paper mill cores of the invention are structured to allow winding and unwinding chucks to distort the interior diameter and shape of the interior body wall of the core while resisting distortion of the core exterior to prevent center burst failure. The paper mill cores of the invention include a multi-ply zone of high strength, but relatively compliant, paperboard plies within the outer 70% (based on the total body wall thickness) of the body wall having a thickness of at least about 4 mm. An interior zone constituting at least about 25% of the total thickness of the body wall is formed from extremely high strength, extremely high density paperboard plies. The overall wall thickness of the core is preferably at least about 15 mm, and is thus preferably increased, as compared to the wall thickness of conventional high strength wide paper mill cores formed entirely of extremely high strength, extremely high density, non-compliant paperboard plies.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to advertising inserts, and more particularly to an insert comprising a promotional item such as a coupon or advertisement located inside a paper roller used to carry paper products and the like. A paper roller having an interior, an exterior, and two openings can include a removable promotional item contained in the interior, where the item has a tab used to extract the promotional item. The tab can either extend generally out of the roller, or can connect two promotional items by forming a bridge across the interior of the roller. The bridge will cause the promotional item to be dispelled when it contacts a rod used to support the roll.

Abstract: An improved roll product is proposed in which a long strip of film or sheet is wound on a core without using a conventional paper tube. The core used can be discarded without difficulty. The core is formed by bending a flat board of cardboard into a cylindrical shape. The side edges of the flat board may be spaced apart, butted together or overlapped. The side edges may or may not be joined together. The end of the film gets caught between the side edges of the flat board. This arrangement allows the film wound to be used up to the last inch while applying a tension thereto and without breakage of the core or winding displacement. A cap may be fitted into both ends of the core to increase the shape retainability of the core.

Abstract: A tubular or ring-shaped core for winding pressure-sensitive tape has a paper board body and a release-coated outermost ply formed of a strip of polymer film having a release coating on its outer surface and a tacky adhesive layer on its inner surface. The strip is wound onto the core with one edge of the strip folded outwardly away from the core so as to expose the tacky adhesive layer on the folded edge. This folded edge is overlapped by the opposite edge of the strip, thereby placing the tacky adhesive layers on the two edges in contact with each other. A firm bond between the overlapping edges is achieved by the adhesive-to-adhesive contact. In a preferred embodiment, the overlapping edge of the strip overlaps slightly beyond the folded edge onto the unfolded outer surface of the strip. This unfolded portion is treated to promote adhesion of the overlapping edge thereto.

Abstract: A paper reel for yarn packages, and especially a paper reel of which the upper end is cut into a ladder like multiple layered end, the cut wall is folded inwardly twice, so that the end of the paper reel is folded onto a shoulder of the ladder like cut and is fixed, and the end of the paper reel will not warp nor has a paper rough edge. Both ends of the paper reel are processed to form a round shape, the ladder like portion has cut wall portions on its shoulders; the cut wall portions are folded to the shoulders one by one, the thickness formed by the cut wall portions folded back to the shoulders can afford a larger pressure when the paper reel is subjected to an axial force, thereby, the cut wall portions will not warp. The inner surface of the paper reel thereby is a smooth surface to be smoothly slipped over a rotation axle, yarn on the paper reel can thus be uninterruptedly sent out for weaving.
