Abstract:
1. A feed roll system to be used in conjunction with a master processing apparatus having a frame and a master processing assembly, the master processing assembly being constructed and arranged to perform a master processing operation wherein the processing assembly causes adhesive bonding between a stock material and a master fed therein, the feed roll system comprising: a core; a supply of stock material wound about the core; a pair of flanges extending radially from opposing ends of the core; and feed roll mounting structure constructed and arranged to be removably mounted to the frame of said apparatus for removably mounting said feed roll, said feed roll mounting structure providing a pair of flange receiving spaces each providing a pair of brake surfaces, said flanges being received in said flange receiving spaces such that said brake surfaces frictionally engage opposing sides of said flanges such that, when said feed roll mounting structure is removably mounted on the apparatus frame and said stock material is being unwound from said core, said core with said flanges thereon rotates relative to said feed roll mounting structure so that braking friction is created between said flanges and the brake surfaces.
