Label Fan Folder
Occasionally BPE
will take a special request for a non-automotive related project.
Here's one we did for one of our neighbors - Label Specialties, Inc.
One of three BPE

A 2o included angle was incorporated in

ease of
roller installation when a large heavy roll of labels is mounted.
Close up detail of roller parts. A 3"
diameter aluminum tube was cut and
faced
to length. All thread cut to length goes through fabricated end cap,
jam nut,
bearing
and knurled handle. A slight taper was incorporated on
the end cap O.D. to help facilitate sliding roller through label roll tubes.
Further detail shows recess in end cap for
jam nut. The bearing slip fits on the
diameter surrounding the jam nut.
Flange on handle locks bearing by inner race.
