ABSTRACT:
A device is adapted to reduce as much as possible the effective length of a spring for providing a load on a mobile member, such as a dancer roller for absorbing the slackness in a web of packaging material, with respect to the distance by which it may move. Two pinions with different diameters are affixed to the mobile member, the larger pinion engaging with a mobile rack and the smaller pinion engaging with a fixed rack. The mobile rack is adapted to move so as to cancel the displacement by the mobile member by a distance determined by the ratio of the diameters of the pinions, thereby reducing the effective length of the spring.
