  • the pressing roller 30 When setting a new covering sheet roll 31, the pressing roller 30 is put to be apart from the delivering roller 29 as shown in Fig. 13. This is manually operated, and in a state released from pressing as shown in Fig.
  • the gravity of the pressing roller 30 works on the right side of a fulcrum 93 of the base end portion of the arm 92 in Fig. 13, and therefore the open state released from pressing is maintained unless external force is applied.
  • a spring 94 is provided in order to facilitate the manual operation.
  • the foregoing embodiments do not particularly comprise any mechanism for leading and guiding the delivered fabric covering sheet 23 in the feeding device 26, but a slant plate or the like may be provided beneath the cutting device 32 so as to lead and guide the fabric covering sheet 23 to the cutting table 25 side by contacting with the fabric covering sheet 23 dropping downward in the vertical direction.
  • a slant plate or the like may be provided beneath the cutting device 32 so as to lead and guide the fabric covering sheet 23 to the cutting table 25 side by contacting with the fabric covering sheet 23 dropping downward in the vertical direction.
  • an air injection nozzle or a small fan may be provided in the feeding device 26, and the fabric covering sheet 23 let out by air may be led and guided to the cutting table side.
  • the feeding device 26 may also run on the cutting table synchronously with the entry of the fabric.
