| 20090266926 | ROLL PAPER TYPE RECORDING MEDIUM TRANSPORTING MECHANISM AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - In a recording medium transporting mechanism, a flange member is attached on either side of a roll paper and the flange member has a diameter smaller than a maximum outer diameter of a roll paper. Support rollers support a corresponding one of the flange members in a rotatable manner. The support rollers are moveable along the axis of rotation of the roll paper. The sum of an outer diameter of corresponding one of the flange members and the support rollers is greater than a maximum outer diameter of the roll paper. A rewinding roller of at least a length equivalent to a distance between both sets of support rollers when the sets of support rollers are farthest apart is engaged with a support roller within the set of support rollers and can rotate the flange member in a rewinding direction over a desired amount of continuous time. | 10-29-2009 |
| 20130026278 | METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A PROCESS FOR WINDING AN ACENTRIC COIL FORMER AND DEVICE OPERATING ACCORDING TO THE METHOD - In a method and a device for winding an acentric coil former, the coil former is set into a rotary motion with a winder drive, wherein the rotary motion of the coil former causes a wire attached to the coil former to be wound onto the coil former and unwound from a drum operatively connected to a brake drive, and the winder drive or the brake drive, or both, are controlled based on a rotation position of the coil former. The wire is unwound from the drum with a non-constant speed. | 01-31-2013 |
| 20130037648 | Wire Handling for Vehicle Glazing Panel Cut Out - A dispensing system for dispensing cutting wire to be used in a glazing panel cut out procedure has a mounting device with a docking station for docking a wire store device. The wire store device mounts on the docking station in order to dispense the wire. The mounting device can have a rotary means operable to pay out cutting wire from the system. The rotary means is controllable to adjust the applied torque required to operate the rotary means. | 02-14-2013 |
| 20130186994 | SELF-COMPENSATING FILAMENT TENSION CONTROL DEVICE WITH EDDY CURRENT BRAKING - A self-compensating tension control device for regulating the payout of filamentary material from a spool includes a fixed support and a spindle assembly rotatably carrying the spool. A tension force applied to the filamentary material, in opposition to a biasing force, moves the spindle assembly linearly in relation to the fixed support. An eddy current braking system includes a conductive member rotatable with the spindle assembly and a magnetic member carried by the fixed support. The spindle assembly and the conductive member move linearly toward a side-by-side relationship with the magnetic member when the tension force applied to the filamentary material is reduced and unable to overcome the biasing force. Linear movement of the spindle assembly and the associated conductive member can be obtained by either a straight line mechanism or a linear ball bushing mechanism. A supplemental brake may also be used. | 07-25-2013 |
| 20130206892 | Wire Handling Facilitator - A wire handling facilitator in the form of a backpack. An apparatus that is useful for handling small rolls of wire that is to be welded into channels of metal surfaces. | 08-15-2013 |
| 20130270382 | SELF-COMPENSATING FILAMENT TENSION CONTROL DEVICE WITH FRICTION BRAKING - A self-compensating tension control device for regulating the withdrawal of filamentary material from a spool includes a fixed support that maintains a cam surface and a spindle assembly rotatably carrying the spool. A tension force applied to the filamentary material, in opposition to a biasing force, moves the spindle assembly linearly in relation to the fixed support. A braking mechanism includes a brake drum rotatable with the spindle assembly, a brake shoe adapted to engage the brake drum and a rocker arm that engages the cam surface. When the tension force applied to the filamentary material is reduced and unable to overcome the biasing force, the cam roller engages the cam surface and causes the brake shoe to generate a braking force on the brake drum. Withdrawal of the filamentary material at a regular rate occurs when the biasing force is balanced with the tension force. | 10-17-2013 |
| 20140008481 | SELF-COMPENSATING FILAMENT TENSION CONTROL DEVICE WITH FRICTION BAND BRAKING - A self-compensating tension control device for regulating the withdrawal of filamentary material from a spool includes a fixed support that maintains an inverted cam surface and a spindle assembly rotatably carrying the spool. A tension force applied to the filamentary material, in opposition to a biasing force, moves the spindle assembly linearly in relation to the fixed support. A braking mechanism includes a brake drum rotatable with the spindle assembly, a friction band adapted to engage the brake drum and a rocker arm that engages the cam surface. When the tension force applied to the filamentary material is reduced and unable to overcome the biasing force, the cam roller engages the cam surface and causes the friction band to generate a braking force on the brake drum. | 01-09-2014 |
| 20140097285 | CLIMBING ASSISTING EQUIPMENT - A climbing assisting equipment includes a rope transmitting device and a slow-descending device. The rope transmitting device includes a rope member and a rope reeling member. The slow-descending device has a transmission member connected between the rope reel member and a generator. When the rope member is pulled down, the generator is driven by the rope reel member via the transmission means to generate electrical power to a generator load, and to thus reduce a descending speed of the rope member by a resistant moment to the generator. | 04-10-2014 |
| 20150307312 | Wire Handling for Vehicle Glazing Panel Cut Out - A dispensing system for dispensing cutting wire to be used in a glazing panel cut out procedure has a mounting device with a docking station for docking a wire store device. The wire store device mounts on the docking station in order to dispense the wire. The mounting device can have a rotary means operable to pay out cutting wire from the system. The rotary means is controllable to adjust the applied torque required to operate the rotary means. | 10-29-2015 |

| 20110006150 | Method for automatic slip clutch tension on a reel - The method of preventing over tension to an umbilical wrapped on the spool of an offshore reel when the umbilical is being normally deployed or retrieved or when the umbilical is unexpectedly pulled from the spool on the reel, comprising providing a main disk, mounting the main disk on the spool of the reel with a slip connection which will be automatically controlled, connecting motor power for the reel to the main disk, connecting brakes to the main disk, such that when the diameter of deployment varies the slip connection torque will be automatically adjusted and prevent the umbilical from being subjected to tension higher than the desired amount. | 01-13-2011 |
| 20110049286 | WIRE BOBBIN HOLDER OF BOBBIN CASSETTE IN WIRING APPARATUS - When current collecting wires are laid in parallel with each other on a solar cell on which a photosensitive film is formed, a wire tension adjusting mechanism is provided which includes a bobbin holder shaft pivotally held on the side of a frame in a bobbin cassette in a wiring apparatus and a wire bobbin is detachably fixed on the bobbin holder shaft. The wire tension adjusting mechanism further includes a pre-load means for adjusting the torque of the bobbin holder shaft and the tension of each current collecting wire to be drawn out from the wire bobbin held by the bobbin shaft is adjusted. | 03-03-2011 |
