Abstract:
A take-up reel has a diameter equal to or more than 85 times a thickness of a veneer sheet wound thereon and equal to or more than 300 mm so as to be of a curvature of the take-up reel to reduce cracking in parallel to fiber orientations that occurs in winding a veneer sheet after drying on a winding surface of the take-up reel. A veneer reeling apparatus comprises: a take-up reel disposed in a veneer sheet reeling position in a rotatable manner; a drive roller disposed on the lower surface of the take-up reel, transmitting a driving force with a variable speed; a veneer dryer disposed upstream from the veneer sheet reeling position; a conveyor provided between the terminal end of the veneer dryer and the drive roller in the veneer sheet reeling position; and a plurality of thread feeding mechanisms disposed at arbitrary spatial intervals along a length direction of the take-up reel for a veneer sheet, wherein a continuous dried veneer sheet or dried veneer sheets whose sizes are of a constant length or of a length at random are wound on the take-up reel to form a veneer roll with threads as guide by a frictional force of the drive roller. Further, pairs of two overlapping veneer sheets or sets of a pair of two overlapping veneer sheets and a single veneer sheet can be wound on the take-up reel in a composite form.

Abstract:
A transfer cylinder for supporting freshly printed sheet material between printing units or at the delivery unit of a printing press is provided with an ink repellent, flexible jacket covering for supporting and transporting the sheet material without transfer of wet ink from one sheet to a successive sheet and without smearing the ink or causing indentations on the surface of the sheet material. The circumferential support surface of the transfer cylinder is covered with a conductive, fluoropolymer layer secured to the surface of the transfer cylinder beneath the protective, wash-free disposable flexible jacket covering. The low friction properties of the conductive base covering permit free movement of the ink repellent, flexible jacket covering relative to the transfer cylinder surface. Electrostatic charges delivered to the flexible jacket covering by the printed sheet material are drawn away from the flexible jacket covering and are discharged into the transfer cylinder by the conductive base covering.
Abstract:
A roller is equipped with an elastic layer comprising a foam, wherein at least a part of the elastic layer is subjected to permanent compressional deformation by heating compression, and the cells in the elastic layer subjected to permanent compressional deformation by heating compression outnumber the cells therein before the heating compression; and a process for producing the above roller in high efficiency. The above process enables the production of the roller in which the surface state of only an arbitrary portion thereof is modified according to the purpose of use, and the roller thus obtained can exhibit high performances in a variety of applications including paper feed roller, developer conveying roller and so forth.
Abstract:
An equalizing roll and web tracking apparatus to be used in manufacturing for providing equal tension across a web during winding operations such as used in polymer film applications, corrugators, paper machines, printing presses, cloth winders, and metal winding operations. The equalizing roll utilizes a common axis shaft mounted horizontally on two bearings or clamped rigid supports allowing for rotation. Mounted in the center of the axis shaft is a bearing assembly having convex and concave portions disposed within a sleeve. The bearing assembly is centrally mounted inside a hollow cylinder or roll machined to be in balance with respect to the centrally disposed bearing assembly. The mating of the concave and convex portions of the bearing permits a selected degree of lateral rotation in a range of from about 1 degree to about 10 degrees. As the web runs over the roll, any imbalance of lateral tension will cause the roll to pivot at it's center permitting the roll to move upward on the side of least tension until the web tension is equalized across the entire roll. The equalizing roll tracking apparatus utilizes an adjustable control arm assembly having a pair of adjustable pivot arms with steering arms linked to sensor arms. The distal ends of the sensor arms are in contact with the outer edges of a web, sheet, or belt of material supported by at least one idler roll and utilizing at least one equalizing roll. The steering arms float on the outer diameter of the equalizing roll. The sensor arms are pivotally linked to the steering arms so that the misalignment of the belt, sheet or web moves the sensor arms slightly causing the steering arms to pivot and exert pressure on the equalizing roll thereby counteracting and aligning the direction of the web, belt, or sheet of material supported thereby.

Abstract:
This device is designed such that the differential tangential speeds V are variable at different points of a deformable flat film (1) or plate that moves along at least one drawing roller (3) rotating about an axis XX, said film (1) or plate moving in a direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the roller and resting on a generatrix G.sub.N of the roller. The roller (3) has a rotational speed N which is constant with time, while the distance G.sub.N C.sub.1 from the supporting generatrix G.sub.N of the film to the axis C.sub.1 of rotation of the roller is variable with time. The invention is applicable to the drawing of plastic films.
Abstract:
A hydrid nudger roll for use in a friction retard feeder includes alternating elastomeric and studded rolls positioned on a support shaft. The outer surface of the elastomeric rolls extends beyond the tips of the studded rolls, but when the elastomeric rolls are deformed against a stack of sheets due to normal force, the tips of the studded rolls extends beyond the outer surface of the elastomeric rolls.
