The pressing force against the support member 12 can be adjusted.

  A stopper 17 is provided on the shaft end side of the fixing screw 11. When the stopper 17 is locked to the pin 6 provided on the frame 5 of the laminating apparatus, the laminate film A is released. The shaft 3 is fixed so as not to rotate.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the second core support portion 2 is provided on a base 24 that can be positioned with a screw 26 with respect to the shaft 3 in a state where the core support member 23 is rotatable. A stopper 24a of the core support member 23 is formed at one end of the base 24, and a screw portion 24b for attaching a nut 25 is formed at the other end. The movement of the core support member 23 in the axial direction is restricted by the stopper 24 a and the nut 25.

  The core support member 23 is provided with a flat portion 20 on a part of a cylindrical peripheral surface, and an elastic deformation body 22 is fixed to the flat portion 20 by a fixing member 21. This elastic deformable body 22 is made of an elastic body that has high durability against repeated deformation and is difficult to break, and is a string-shaped body having a circular cross section with a hardness of about Hs80 to Hs95. It is suitable from the point of hardness at the time.

  In FIG. 3, the fixing member 21 is arranged on the upper left side and the lower right side so as to form an arc that reaches the arcuate vertex of the elastic deformation body 22 near the end of the flat portion 20. Of course, an embodiment in which the elastic deformable body 22 is only one of the upper left side and the lower right side can be employed. The core support member 12 of the first core support portion is similar in shape to the core support member 23 except for the collar 12a.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the elastic deformable body 22 has a circular shape having a predetermined diameter, or as shown in FIG. 5, the end of one string-shaped elastic deformable body 22 is connected to the core support member 23.

The fixing member 21 is provided with a groove portion that is slightly smaller than the cross-sectional shape of the elastic deformable body 22 and is firmly fixed in the groove portion.

  Next, a state in which the core is held by the core support member 12 and the core support member 23 will be described. However, since the holding method is the same, the core support member 23 will be described. FIG. 6A to FIG. 6D respectively show a state in which the planar portion 20 of the core support member 23 is viewed from above and a state in which the planar portion 20 is viewed from the side. FIG. 6A shows a state where the core B has not been set yet, and the arcuate vertex of the elastic deformable body 22 is located near the end of the plane portion 20. FIG. 6B shows a state where the core support member 23 is inserted into the core B. Although the arcuate vertex of the elastic deformable body 22 is in contact with the inner surface of the core B, the arc of the elastic deformable body 22 is bent by the inner surface of the core B, and the core B is smoothly slid. Can be made. The core B is set from the right end side of the shaft 3 in FIG. 1 and is slid to a position where it comes into contact with the collar 12a of the core support member 12 of the first core support 1.

  When the shaft 3 is set in a laminating apparatus by sliding it to a position where it comes into contact with the collar 12a and the laminate film A is pulled out as shown in FIG. At this time, the arcuate tip of the elastic deformable body 22 is bitten while being deformed into the gap between the core B and the core support member 23. The elastic deformation body 22 on the upper side of the fixing member 21 is in a state where the arc is slightly bent toward the fixing member 21 in accordance with the rotation of the core B. By this engagement, the core B is integrally held by the core support member 23 so as not to freely rotate in the rotation direction. In FIG. 6C, the elastic deformation body 22 on the lower side of the fixing member 21 is caught by pulling out the laminate film A shown by a solid line, but there is also a laminate film wound as shown by a one-dot chain line. . In the case of winding like a one-dot chain line, the elastic deformable body 22 located on the upper side of the fixing member 21 is bitten. That is, if the elastic deformation body 22 is arranged on both sides of the fixing member 21, the core B can be held regardless of the winding of the laminate film A.

  FIG. 6D shows a state in which the holding is released in order to remove the core B. When the winding core B is slightly rotated in the direction opposite to the direction in which the elastic deformable body 22 is bitten in FIG. 6C, the biting of the elastic deformable body 22 that has been bitten is released. When released, the core B is slid off the shaft 3.

  The core B is supported by the core support member 12 of the first core support portion 1 and the core support members 23 and 23 of the two second core support portions 2. The core support member 12 and the core support members 23 and 23 are rotated with respect to the shaft 3 via the base 10 and the bases 24 and 24. When the laminate film A is unwound from the core, the core support members 12, 23, and 23 and the core B are integrally rotated with respect to the shaft 3, and the pressure is adjusted. In response to the force of the compression spring 16 adjusted by the member 15, it is unraveled in a state where a desired brake torque is applied.
