WINDING DEVICE AND PRINTING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18477268 titled 'WINDING DEVICE AND PRINTING DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The winding unit described in the abstract is a mechanism that winds an intermittently conveyed medium using a winding roller, a winding roller driving mechanism, a winding bar member, and an abutting portion to regulate the swing of the winding bar member.
- Winding roller: responsible for winding the medium
- Winding roller driving mechanism: applies a driving force to rotate the winding roller
- Winding bar member: swingably provided upstream from the winding roller to apply tension to the medium
- Abutting portion: regulates the swing of the winding bar member
Potential Applications
The winding unit can be used in various industries such as printing, packaging, and textile manufacturing where winding of materials is required.
Problems Solved
1. Ensures proper tension is applied to the medium during winding 2. Regulates the swing of the winding bar member for efficient winding process
Benefits
1. Improved winding process 2. Consistent tension application 3. Enhanced efficiency in material handling
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing Material Winding Process for Increased Efficiency
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to winding units used in various industries such as textile manufacturing and packaging. Researching existing patents in these fields may reveal similar technologies.
Unanswered Questions
How does the winding bar member apply tension to the medium effectively?
The abstract mentions that the winding bar member applies tension to the medium by pressing it. However, the specific mechanism or design of how this tension is applied is not detailed.
What materials are commonly wound using this winding unit?
The abstract does not specify the type of medium that is being wound using this unit. Understanding the common materials used with this technology can provide insights into its versatility and applications.
