Definitions

  • the invention relates to a media roll assembly for lifting and positioning a wide format media roll into or out of a printing system, a transport package for use in a media roll assembly, and a method for the loading a media roll into a wide format printing system.
  • the sheet media are generally supplied on media rolls, comprising a tubular roll core around which the sheet media has been wrapped.
  • Media rolls are loaded by an operator into a media input module of a wide format printing system prior to printing.
  • the media rolls are long and heavy, generally around 42" ( ⁇ 107 cm) in length and 18 kg in weight.
  • the media rolls are loaded by hand, which is difficult for an operator due to the large dimensions and weight of the media roll.
  • the media roll is engaged at its ends by one or two operators and needs to be positioned accurately into the media input module to avoid damage to the media roll and/or printing system.
  • the media input module is generally accessible only in the vertical direction, and any available manoeuvring space is further limited by the presence of the printing system.
  • Drawback of the above described loading of media rolls is that it difficult and straining for an operator. Loading takes a relatively long time, reducing productivity.
  • the object of the present invention is achieved by a media roll assembly according to claim 1, by a transport package according to claim 4, and/or by a method according to claim 14.
  • Advantageous or preferred features of the invention are recited in the dependent claims.
  • the present invention provides a media roll assembly for lifting and positioning a wide format media roll into or out of a printing system.
  • the media roll assembly comprises a wide format media roll comprising a tubular core around which a print medium is wound, and a transport package for lifting and positioning the media roll assembly into or out of the printing system.
  • the transport package comprises:
  • the transport package may be provided around the media roll by folding the deformable support body around the media roll, such that a first end of the longitudinal support body is brought into contact with an attachment region elsewhere on the support body.
  • the attachment region may be positioned on the support body spaced apart from the first end in a longitudinal direction of the support body, for example at the second end.
  • the first end is then releasably secured to the attachment region by a releasable securing member, such that the support body forms a substantially closed loop around the media roll.
  • the securing member may be provided at the first end in the form of an adhesion strip or fastening means.
  • the closed loop of the support body around the media roll protects at least part of the outer surface of the media roll.
  • At least one carrying member is provided at one of the first end and the second end of the longitudinal support body.
  • the carrying member is arranged for being engaged by lifting means, such that the media roll may be easily lifted.
  • the lifting means may comprise the hands of the operator or a lifting device, such as a lift or crane.
  • the media roll is supported by the surrounding support body, which hangs from the carrying member, which in turn hangs from the lifting means. As such, there is no need to engage the media roll directly, preventing damage to the outer surface.
  • the carrying member may be positioned with respect to the media roll to provide the optimum engaging position for an operator or lifting device.
  • two gripping elements may be providing in the carrying member near to and on either side of the center of mass of the media roll, spaced apart for example at shoulder width for an operator.
  • This allows a single operator to manually lift the roll in a stabilized manner.
  • the cumbersome manual loading wherein one or two operators engage both ends of the roll core of the media roll is avoided.
  • the loading time may be reduced, increasing productivity.
  • the present invention allows for easy and swift loading of a media roll into a media input module of a wide format printing system.
  • the “during operation” may refer to the state wherein the media roll is being lifted.

  • the width of the longitudinal support body may correspond to the width of the sheet media on the media roll, such that the outer surface of the sheet media is covered and therefore protected during operation.
  • the support body may leave the outer ends of the media roll unsupported, but preferably the width of the support body is sufficiently large to allow for a stabilized supporting of the media roll during operation.
  • the releasable securing member is arranged for securing the first end of the support body onto the second end of the support body.
  • the second end comprises the attachment region.
  • the distance between the first and second ends of the support body corresponds to the size of the circumference of the sheet medium on the media roll for providing a fitting enclosure.
  • the spacing between the first end and the second end of the support body is substantially equal to the circumference of the sheet medium on the media roll, such that the support body contacts substantially the full circumference of the sheet medium.
  • the support body during operation is substantially circumferentially provided over the outer surface of the media roll.
  • the support body may be substantially flat, and preferably rectangular, and is arranged to deform correspondingly to the outer surface of the media roll.
  • the support body may be deformable, preferably between a substantially straight or planar state prior to securing it around the media roll and a support state, wherein the support body is wrapped around the media roll.
  • the support body may deform conform to the shape of the media roll, and thus possess a substantially round or circular cross-section during operation.
  • the support body as such may extend circumferentially over the media roll for a full turn or stroke.
  • the first end of the support body comprises a guide element for guiding the first end of the support body around the media roll before securing it to the support body.
  • a guide element for guiding the first end of the support body around the media roll before securing it to the support body.
  • the operator may firstly slide the guide element, for example a thin guide strip connected to the first end of the support body, around the media roll, and subsequently pull on the guide strip to guide the support body around the media roll.
  • the support body may be very flexible to allow easy guidance around the media roll when pulled by the guide element. This allows for a quick and easy application of the transport package around the media roll.
  • the at least one carrying member is foldably connected to the second end of the support body along a fold line substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the media roll during operation.
  • the carrying member may be a flap extending from the second end in the longitudinal direction of the support body, and comprising engaging elements, such as holes or hooks.
  • the carrying member extends away from the media roll, for example in a radial or tangential direction.
  • the fold line may extend, such that in the storage state, the carrying member forms a substantially planar surface, preferably substantially tangential to the circumference of the medial roll.
  • the planar surface may prevent rolling of the sheet rolls during storage or aid in the stacking of such media roll assemblies.
  • the support body and the at least one carrying member are integrally formed, preferably of cardboard or plastic.
  • the transport package may as such be formed of a single strip of material. One end comprises the securing member, while at the other end the carrying member extends from the attachment region. Holes or recesses may be provided in the strip at the carrying member to provide engaging elements for lifting the media roll assembly.
  • the securing member may be provided as glue strip or a fastening element at the respective end of the strip. As such, a cheap, compact, and easy to produce transport package is provided.
  • a further carrying member is provided at the other one of the first end and second end of the support body. Where the carrying member is connected to the one end (e.g. the second end), the further carrying member is provided at the other end (e.g. the first end), and vice versa.
  • Multiple carrying members allow for a more stabile support of the media roll.
  • the support body thus comprises carrying members at both ends.
  • the further carrying member at the other end of the support body with respect to the at least one carrying member is shaped correspondingly to the at least one carrying member.
  • the at least one carrying member may be positioned or folded onto the further carrying member, such that one carrying member supports and/or reinforces the other.

  • the at least one carrying member is provided with at least one opening for engaging the carrying member by lifting means.
  • the opening thus forms an engaging element, for example, for an operator's hand or a hook of a lifting device.
  • the transport package need not be provided around the media roll. It is within the scope of the present invention to provide a media roll assembly and a transport package together, which may be assembled by an operator. The operator may then apply the transport package to the media roll.
  • the media roll and the transport package are provided together in a common cover or packaging material. Media rolls are generally supplied in packaging materials such as longitudinal boxes. Alternatively, the media roll assembly may be covered in a foil.
  • the operator Upon opening the packaging material, the operator takes out the transport package and applies it around the media roll.
  • the packaging material may be shaped such that, after opening it, the media roll may roll over part of the packaging material. This prevents contact between the floor and the media roll, preventing contamination.
  • the operator may then first place the transport package on the opened packaging material and roll the media roll over both the transport package and the packaging material into a suitable position for closing the transport package around the media roll. No lifting of the media roll is required to apply the transport package, easing the burden of the operator.
  • the transport package is provided in the packaging material such that opening the packaging material positions the transport package in a position for rolling the media roll over the transport package to close the transport package around the media roll.
  • the transport package may be removably attached one or more radial side walls of the box.
  • the operator folds these one more side walls over a longitudinal fold line, which fold line is preferably in a botttom part of the box resting on the floor.

  • the transport package 101 may then be lifted by means of the guide member 107.
  • the loop 103 of the guide member 107 may be provided over a hook which subsequently lifts the media roll assembly.
  • the guide element 107 thus forms both the securing element 103 as well as the carrying member 104.
  • the transport package 101 may be swiftly and easily provided around a media roll 110.
  • the media roll 110 may then be swiftly and without damage to the sheet medium be transported to and placed in a media input module.
  • the securing member 103 is then released, opening the closed loop of the transport package 101, and releasing the roll 110.
  • the transport package 101 may then be pulled to remove it from the media input module.
