What is claimed is:
1. A fishing reel comprising:
a reel main unit;
a spool rotatably supported by the reel main unit;
an indicator attached to the reel main unit and displaying various fishing information items;
an illumination member, for illuminating an inside of the indicator, provided in the indicator;
a detector for detecting an operating status of a member attached to the reel main unit;
a storage unit storing at least extinction requirements for extinguishing the illumination member set on the basis of the operating status of the member; and
a controller for inputting the detection result obtained by the detector, wherein the controller automatically extinguishes the illumination member on the basis of the detection result and the extinction requirement.
2. The fishing reel according to claim 1, wherein the extinction requirement is set on the basis of the operating status of a rotary member rotated by unreeling a fishline wound around the spool or rotating a handle attached to the reel main unit.
3. The fishing reel according to claim 1, wherein illumination and extinction requirements for illuminating and extinguishing the illumination member are stored in the storage unit, and the illumination and extinction requirements are set on the basis of the operating status of a rotary member rotated by unreeling a fishline wound around the spool or rotating a handle attached to the reel main unit.
4. The fishing reel according to claim 1, wherein a sensor for detecting darkness or light outside of the reel main unit is provided in the vicinity of the indicator,
condition of darkness or light outside of the reel main unit is added to requirements for illuminating and extinguishing the illumination member, and
the controller automatically controls illumination and extinction of the illumination member on the basis of a detection result obtained by the detector and the sensor and the illumination and extinction requirements.
5. The fishing reel according to claim 1, wherein the controller extinguishes the illumination member when the spool remains stationary over a predetermined period.
6. The fishing reel according to claim 1, wherein the member is the spool.
7. The fishing reel according to claim 2, wherein the rotary member is the spool.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A method for folding a web including:
providing a web former having a former entrance;
locating a former roller at said entrance;
providing a drive motor for said former roller and using said drive motor for rotating said former roller;
detecting a malfunction in a printing process utilizing the web;
cutting the web after detecting the malfunction; and
continuing rotating said former roller after cutting the web of material.
2. The method of claim 1 further including using said former roller for conveying the web and exerting a traction force on the web being conveyed by said former roller.
3. The method of claim 1 further including providing a sensor and using said sensor for detecting a traction force exerted on said web by said former roller.
4. The method of claim 1 further including providing a folding apparatus including rotatable folding cylinders and continuing rotating said former roller until said folding cylinders stop rotating.
5. The method of claim 1 further including providing printing groups having rotatable cylinders and continuing rotating said former roller until said printing group cylinders stop rotating.
6. The method of claim 1 further including providing said former roller as a former inlet roller and locating said former inlet roller at a former inlet.
7. The method of claim 1 further including driving said former roller at a web tension, said web tension being less than half of an error-free web tension.
8. The method of claim 1 further including providing a presser roller and using said presser roller for pressing the web against said former roller.
9. A device for folding a web comprising:
a web former having a former entrance;
a former roller arranged at said former entrance; and
a motor adapted to rotatably drive said former roller, said former roller exerting a contact traction force on a web engaging said former roller and driven at a web tension, said web tension being less than half a web tension during an error-free operation of said device for folding.
10. The device of claim 9 further including a sensor adapted to detect said traction force exerted on said web by said former roller.
11. The device of claim 9 further including a folding apparatus including rotatable folding cylinders and wherein said former roller is driven for rotation until said folding cylinders stop rotation.
12. The device of claim 9 further including printing groups having rotatable cylinders and wherein said former roller is driven for rotation until said printing groups cylinders stop rotation.
13. The device of claim 9 further wherein said former entrance is a former inlet and said former roller is a former inlet roller.
14. The device of claim 9 further including a presser roller adapted to press the web against said former roller.
15. A device for folding a web comprising:
a web former having a former entrance;
a former roller arranged at said former entrance; and
a motor adapted to rotatably drive said former roller, said motor driving said former roller at a conveying speed, said conveying speed having a substantially constant lead in comparison to a web conveyor speed.
16. The device of claim 15 further including a sensor for detecting said web conveying speed.
17. The device of claim 15 further including a folding apparatus including rotatable folding cylinders and wherein said former roller is driven for rotation until said folding cylinders stop rotation.
18. The device of claim 15 further including printing groups having rotatable cylinders and wherein said former roller is driven for rotation until said printing groups cylinders stop rotation.
19. The device of claim 9 further wherein said former entrance is a former inlet and said former roller is a former inlet roller.
20. The device of claim 15 wherein said former roller is driven at a web tension, said web tension being less than half of an error-free web tension.
21. The device of claim 15 further including a presser roller adapted to press the web against said former roller.
