Abstract
A wrapper assembly is disclosed that can be used, for example, to wrap a label around a wire. In the wrapper assembly, a pair of supports are spaced apart from one another and a plurality of rollers are disposed there between. The wrapper assembly further includes at least one yoke. Both the pair of supports and the yoke have positioning slots formed therein that support the rollers. By moving the yoke or yokes relative to the supports, the positioning slots in the yoke or yokes shifts relative to the positioning slots in the supports and thereby adjusting the positions of rollers relative to one another.
Claims18
A wrapper assembly comprising:
- a pair of supports spaced apart from one another, each of the pair of supports having positioning slots formed therein;
- a plurality of rollers disposed between the pair of supports and supported by the positioning slots in the pair of supports, the plurality of rollers having axes that are substantially parallel with one another;
- and
- at least one yoke having positioning slots formed therein that support at least some of the plurality of rollers, the at least one yoke being movable relative to the pair of supports to shift the positioning slots in the at least one yoke relative to the positioning slots in the at least one of the pair of supports to thereby alter a position of at least some of the plurality of rollers relative to one another;
- wherein the pair of supports, the plurality of rollers, and the at least one yoke comprise a rotatable subassembly.
A wrapper assembly comprising:
- a frame;
- a rotatable subassembly received in the frame, the rotatable subassembly being rotatable relative to the frame about a rotational axis, the rotatable subassembly comprising:
- a pair of discs spaced apart from one another, each of the pair of discs having positioning slots formed therein and each of the pair of discs include a notch that generally extends from a center of the disc to a periphery of the disc;
- a plurality of rollers disposed between the pair of discs and supported by the positioning slots in the pair of discs, the plurality of rollers having axes that are substantially parallel with one another;
- and
- a pair of yokes having positioning slots formed therein that support at least some of the plurality of rollers, the pair of yokes being movable relative to the pair of discs to shift the positioning slots in the pair of yokes relative to the positioning slots in the a corresponding one of the pair of discs to thereby alter a position of at least some of the plurality of rollers relative to one another.
