The current technology overcomes the foregoing and other

shortcomings and drawbacks of conventional turntable assemblies found in stretch wrapping models. Whilst the innovation will be explained in connection with particular embodiments, it will likely be realized that this innovation will not be limited to these embodiments. On the other hand, the technology consists of all alternatives, adjustments, and equivalents as could be incorporated inside the scope and spirit in the present technology.

According to one aspect of the present invention, a turntable assembly for a stretch wrapping machine comprises a frame, a turntable mounted to the frame for rotation about a generally vertical turntable axis of rotation, and a plurality of rollers rotatably mounted to the frame and defining a generally horizontal supporting plane for supporting the turntable, [0009]. Each one of the plurality of rollers has a axis of rotation usually parallel for the promoting aeroplane and usually transferring with the turntable axis of rotation. The frame is made of a material as well as a geometry to be able to elastically deform, on a lot becoming positioned with the turntable that brings about the burden not being consistently backed by the rollers, to permit the axis of rotation of one or more roller of the plurality of rollers to tilt relative to the horizontal assisting aircraft while still moving from the turntable axis of rotation.

[0010] The plurality of rollers can consist of a plurality of pairs of rollers, every kind of rollers of the plurality of sets of rollers becoming mounted on a specific structure an affiliate the structure to ensure that one particular curler in the set of rollers is situated using one aspect of your structure participant as well as the other curler from the pair of rollers is located on the reverse side of the body participant. In one embodiment, every body participant may be built to ensure that the deflection below weight situations will never go over the generate durability of the material in the structure participant. Each frame associate might be built of the material and of a geometry in order to elastically deform an volume sufficient to allow the roller set axis of rotation to lean about 3 qualifications whenever a weight around 3,500 lbs is positioned using one roller of the pair of rollers. For example, each framework associate might be generally rectangle-shaped in go across segment having a height of approximately 2. inches as well as a breadth of around .25 in ., and can be fabricated of A36 metallic. The pair of rollers can be placed typically midway along a length of the structure participant. The frame member can have a reduced height between the pair of rollers and each end of the frame member if desired. Additionally the kind of rollers can be situated near one particular end in the frame member, and the framework member could have a decreased elevation in the end in close proximity to that your pair of rollers is placed. [0011] In one more part of the provide invention, a turntable assembly to get a stretch wrapping machine consists of a framework, a center rotatably fitted on the structure on the shaft, along with a turntable installed to the center for rotation about a generally vertical turntable axis of rotation. The body includes hub deflection restricting framework spaced around the turntable axis of rotation at about diplomas, at about 90 degrees, as well as about 180 diplomas. The deflection limiting structure is spaced from the hub by an amount such that if the turntable is struck causing the hub to bend the shaft, the shaft will elastically deform rather than plastically deform.
