Patent ID: 7350340

Claim:
An apparatus for use in shrink wrapping an article with shrink film, comprising: (a) a plurality of rollers, each roller including a shaft and a cylindrical member mounted on said shaft for rotation about an axis of said shaft; and (b) a frame including a pair of parallel side members generally extending in a first, horizontal direction and defining a plurality of slots receiving opposite ends of said shafts of said rollers for mounting of said rollers between said side members; (c) wherein each of said slots has a slot length that extends in a direction having both a component extending in the first, horizontal direction and a component extending in a second, vertical direction orthogonal to the first, horizontal direction; (d) wherein said rollers mounted between said side members each extends in a third direction orthogonal both to the first, horizontal direction and to the second, vertical direction; (e) wherein each of said rollers mounted between said side members is received within a pair of said slots and is vertically and horizontally displaceable within said pair of said slots; and (f) wherein the lowermost position of a said roller of said plurality of rollers is selectively adjustable by a pivot arm that extends adjacent a slot of said pair of slots within which said roller is received and that limits displacement of said roller, the position of said pivot arm defining the lowermost position of said roller in said slot.
