Patent ID: 6892975

Claim:
A film hand wrapper for a film winding cylinder comprising: a) two cylindrical grips, each of the two cylindrical grips being connected to one of two opposing ends of the film winding cylinder and having: i) a large-diameter cylindrical portion having a flexible push member movable between pressed and released positions; ii) a small-diameter cylindrical portion having a small diameter that is smaller than a large diameter of the large-diameter cylindrical portion; and iii) a friction element being inserted onto the flexible push member; and b) two sleeves, each of the two sleeves having: i) a center hole, the small-diameter cylindrical portion being rotatably inserted into the center hole; and ii) a friction ring formed on an outer periphery of a first end, wherein, when the flexible push member is in the pressed position, the friction element engages the friction ring thereby locking the film winding cylinder, and when the flexible push member is in the released position, the friction element disengages from the friction ring thereby allowing the film winding cylinder to rotate.
