SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on creating a helical movement mechanism for feeding a sheet of paper through a rotating tube. The proposed design involves a rotating tube (A), a sheet of paper (B), and additional rollers (C) to maintain the paper's position. Participants express concerns about the feasibility of the design, particularly regarding the potential for tearing the paper at the entry point. Suggestions for improvement include providing a more detailed design statement to clarify the mechanics involved.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of mechanical design principles
  • Familiarity with paper handling systems
  • Knowledge of rotational motion mechanics
  • Experience with prototyping and testing mechanical devices
NEXT STEPS
  • Research mechanical design software for prototyping
  • Explore paper feeding mechanisms in industrial applications
  • Learn about rotational motion dynamics and its applications
  • Investigate materials and techniques to prevent tearing in paper systems
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, product designers, and anyone involved in developing paper handling systems or automated feeding mechanisms.

We need solve a problem, how to make screw (helical) movement of the sheet of papper inside tubular and feed. If you look at the picture A is the tube (it will be rotate), B is sheet of paper ( we need go throw tubular like screw), and C is additional rollers for holding the paper inside of tube. So it will be works ? Or have any other idea?? Thx for any solution..
You are the masters

Welcome to PF, Kozlow.
I'm sorry to say it, but I can't get much out of either the picture or your question. Is the idea to twist the paper into a tube such as a paper-towel core?
If I'm following the drawing correctly, it looks to me as if it would just tear the paper at the entry point.
 
I second what Danger said. Is there any way you can provide a better, more detailed design statement?
