Pre-Stretched Coreless Film Roll Products

Abstract

A coreless film roll product which may be used for both hand wrapping and machines wrapping with or without retrofitting stabilizing components.

1 . An industrial stretch film dispensing apparatus comprised of:
 multiple layers of industrial stretch film arranged in a cylindrical fashion to form a coreless cylindrical film structure;   said coreless cylindrical film structure having a uniform cylindrical channel at the center of said cylindrical film structure;   said uniform cylindrical channel adapted to receive a wrapping machine arm; and   said cylindrical film structure having one or more layers.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  which further includes a wrapping machine arm. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 2  wherein said wrapping machine arm has a diameter greater than 3 inches. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 2  wherein said wrapping machine arm has a diameter of less than the diameter of said uniform cylindrical channel. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said uniform channel has a diameter of 3.1 inches to 5 feet. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said uniform channel has a diameter of 5 feet to 10 feet. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1  which further includes a retrofitted arm adapter component which extends the diameter said wrapping machine arm and comes in contact with the inner surface of said uniform cylindrical channel without affecting the rotational motion of said coreless cylindrical film structure. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1  which further includes a retrofitted arm adapter component with at least one expansion component which expands to create a force upon the inner surface of said uniform cylindrical channel to stabilize said industrial stretch film while said coreless cylindrical film structure is rotating on said wrapping machine arm. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 8  wherein said at least one expansion component expands when said coreless cylindrical film structure is rotating and contracts for removal of said coreless cylindrical film structure from said wrapping machine arm. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 7  wherein said retrofitted arm adapter component is a singly molded component which partially encloses a wrapping machine arm to expand the diameter of said wrapping machine arm. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 10  which includes protuberance members radiating from the surface of said retrofitted arm adapter component which come in contact with the inner surface of said uniform cylindrical channel to secure said coreless cylindrical film structure. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 10  which includes structural protuberances which come in contact with the inner surface of said uniform cylindrical channel. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said coreless cylindrical film structure further includes a stabilizing strip. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 7  wherein said retrofitted arm adapter component engages a stabilizing strip. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus of  claim 7  which wherein said retrofitted arm adapter component further includes contours to engage the inner surface of said coreless uniform cylindrical channel. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 7  wherein said retrofitted arm adapter component includes one or more removable expanding ring components. 
     
     
         17 . The apparatus of  claim 7  wherein said retrofitted arm adapter component is in contact with 10 to 100 percent of the interior of said uniform cylindrical channel. 
     
     
         18 . The apparatus of  claim 7  wherein said retrofitted arm adapter component is comprised of a rigid material. 
     
     
         19 . The apparatus of  claim 7  wherein said retrofitted arm adapter component is comprised of compressible material. 
     
     
         20 . The apparatus of  claim 7  wherein said retrofitted arm adapter component is comprised of both rigid and compressible material components to expand the diameter of said wrapping machine arm. 
     
     
         21 . The apparatus of  claim 7  wherein said retrofitted arm adapter component is comprised of one or more mechanized expansion components. 
     
     
         22 . The apparatus of  claim 1  which further includes an internal liner within said uniform cylindrical channel.
