The solution is to create a device, where if the mobile device or important small item is removed beyond a user-defined distance, such as 2 meters, a visual and noise alarm will activate, thus immediately letting the owner and others know that a theft has occurred. One embodiment of the invention is a device called an Automatic Loss Prevention Alert Trigger (ALPAT) and software on a mobile device called Automatic Loss Prevention Alert Software (ALPAS). The ALPAT can be in the form of a small device that a person can keep with them and optionally secure to a keychain. The ALPAS will then keep track of whether the ALPAT is more than a user defined distance from the mobile device. If the mobile device is removed beyond a user determined distance, such as a distance of 2 m from the device, a visual and noise alarm will activate from the mobile device and possibly form the ALPAT, depending on user settings. This will immediately let the owner and others know that a theft has occurred.

System and method for automatic loss prevention of mobile communication devices

A paper folding machine is provided including a housing having upper and lower fold plates constructed for quick and easy removal of the upper plates from the machine so that repairs can be made. The plates include a paper stop and an adjuster connected to the paper stop for adjusting the position of the paper stop. The upper plate partially encloses a work area and the upper plate has a slot for receiving the adjuster therethrough for easy adjustment and/or removal of the upper plate.

Folding machine with removable plate

A paper folding machine is provided including a housing having upper and lower fold plates constructed for quick and easy removal of the upper plates from the machine so that repairs may be made. The machine includes an automatically adjustable stacking arm movable to positions corresponding to the settings of the machine for fold type and size.

A mounting arrangement is provided for rollers in a pressure sealer wherein a folded business form is fed along a processing path between at least one pair of cooperating, rotating, first and second rollers. A support structure is provided for holding the rollers with the first roller in a fixed location while accommodating movement of a second roller along a plane in either of two opposite directions toward and away from the first roller. Each roller has a pressure-applying, cylindrical surface. Each roller has two spaced-apart bearing structures for engaging the support structure to accommodate rotation of a respective one of the rollers and for engaging one of the bearing structures of the other rollers to define a predetermined minimum spacing between the cylindrical surfaces of the first and second rollers. At least one spring is provided for urging the bearing structures of the second roller toward the bearing structures of the first roller. At least one adjusting bar is pivotally mounted on the support structure for bearing a load imposed by the spring. A cam is provided for engaging the adjustment bar and urging the adjustment bar to compress the spring. An operating lever extends from the cam and can be pivoted to rotate the cam to effect a reduction or increase in the compression of the spring.

A sheet feeding system as provided for use in a buckle-type sheet folding apparatus which has sheet-receiving chutes and rollers for folding a sheet. The system includes a frame in which the sheet-receiving chutes are disposed and in which two of the rollers are rotatably mounted in parallel adjacent the chutes. A roller holder is removably mounted in the frame. An entrance roller and a coacting main roller are rotatably mounted in the holder parallel to the two rollers to define an intake nip.

Sheet feeding system for a sheet folding apparatus

A feed mechanism for a folding machine and a folding machine for sheet material. The folding machine has a plurality of rollers for folding sheet material, drive means for rotating said rollers, at least two pocket assemblies with microswitches positioned to be contacted by sheet material passing through said pocket assemblies. The drive means are controlled by these pocket assembly microswitches and a cam microswitch, which is contacted by a cam attached at one end of a roller. The feed mechanism consists of a roller flat having a curved side and a flat side. Between the flat side and a second roller, a gap is formed allowing sheet material to be inserted directly into a first pocket assembly. The sheet material thus inserted contacts a microswitch located in the pocket assembly activating the drive means which turns the roller flat so that its curved side forms a take-in nip with the second roller, feeding the paper in further to begin the folding process.
