| 226004000 | Involving plural feeding means | 8 |
| 20090020581 | Method and Arrangement in Tail Threading of a Web Forming Machine - In a web-forming machine, a threading tail is formed from the web. The threading tail is transferred to the production section ( | 01-22-2009 |
| 20090272780 | Apparatus and method for use in handling an elongate member - Apparatus and a method for handling an elongate member such as a cable between two points has a support line extending between the points, and winch mechanisms and wrapping devices at each of the points, to permit the elongate member to transit between the two points in a wrapped bundle that is supported mechanically against damage and deviation from a controlled path between the points, and to permit the bundle to be unwrapped at the second point for further manipulation of the elongate member. The invention is particularly useful in raising and lowering a load, towing, and also handling service cables, tubes, pipes, hoses or other elongate lines that are connected between two points. A preferred embodiment is described for the subsea deployment of wireline and the deployment of signal and power cables to subsea wells. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20090314816 | Material Feed Device - A material feeder apparatus for feeding stock material to a machining device is provided. The material feeder apparatus includes a drive motor, a drive wheel, a guide wheel and a positioning mechanism. The drive wheel is operably coupled for rotation to the drive motor. The guide wheel is spaced apart from the at least one drive wheel defining a stock material slot therebetween. The positioning mechanism is to at least on of the drive wheel and the guide wheel for adjusting the stock material slot defined by the spacing between the at least one guide wheel and the at least one drive wheel. The material feeder apparatus may include both a drive and slave stock material feeder that are daisy chained together for being simultaneously driven by a single drive motor. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20100181360 | Tension Control System for Deformable Nip Rollers - A method and apparatus for controlling web tension in a web printing press having a plurality of sets of deformable nip rollers, each set driven by a separate driver, the web passing sequentially through each set of deformable nip rollers and forming a web segment therebetween. The driver of a downstream set of deformable nip rollers is adjusted to set the tension of a first web segment and a controller adjusts a first characteristic of the driver of the upstream set of deformable nip rollers to maintain the tension of a second web segment constant. Alternatively, a sensor measures a second characteristic of the second web segment and the controller adjusts the first characteristic of the driver of the upstream set of deformable nip rollers based on the measurement from the sensor. | 07-22-2010 |
| 20110062205 | WEB-PROCESSING MACHINE AND METHOD FOR THE CONTROL THEREOF - A method for operating a web-processing machine having at least one first driven transport roller ( | 03-17-2011 |
| 20110220699 | PACKAGING MACHINE WITH DYNAMIC CHAIN TENSION - The invention relates to a packaging machine, in particular a thermoformer, traysealer, comprising at least two transport chains for transporting a web of material, such as a film or the like. The packaging machine is characterized in that sensor means are provided for detecting the chain length and/or the chain pitch and/or the chain tension of the transport chains, means being provided for stretching and/or relaxing at least one individual transport chain, and control means being provided for adapting different lengths or chain pitches of two transport chains by stretching and/or relaxing at least one transport chain in a controlled manner. | 09-15-2011 |
| 20120305621 | CONVEYANCE DEVICE, PRINTING DEVICE, AND CONVEYANCE METHOD - A conveyance device including an upstream roller that supplies a sheet medium to be processed to a conveyance path; a downstream roller that conveys the supplied medium to a processing position; and a control unit that controls driving the upstream roller and the downstream roller to convey the sheet medium at a constant speed. The control unit determines the starting time of the upstream roller and the downstream roller when starting the conveyance operation based on specific information about the upstream roller and the downstream roller in a previous conveyance operation. | 12-06-2012 |
| 20150108197 | PAPER DISCHARGING APPARATUS, PAPER DISCHARGING METHOD, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING METHOD - A paper discharging apparatus comprises: a first conveying unit; a second conveying unit which includes a pinch roller and a feeding roller that are arranged closer to the downstream side; a movable mechanism which moves a surface part between a first position that the surface part is not contacted with the pinch roller and a second position that the surface part is contacted with the pinch roller through the paper so as to push the pinch roller; a control unit which moves the surface part to the second position, clamps the paper by the pinch roller and the surface part, and conveys the paper, thereby bending the paper, and which moves the surface part to the first position and clamps the paper by the pinch roller and the feeding roller, and rotates the feeding roller, thereby discharging the paper from the conveyance path. | 04-23-2015 |
