  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the cutting unit 40 has a bearing mechanism 43 within the range in which the frame 14, the support member 16 and the gap forming member 32 of each of the first cutting unit 40L and the second cutting unit 40R move. The frame 14, the support member 16, and the gap forming member 32 may be moved smoothly.

  Next, a cutting unit 50 shown as the fifth embodiment will be described. In addition, about the structure similar to the cutting unit 30, the cutting | disconnection unit 50 attaches | subjects the same code | symbol, and abbreviate | omits the description.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the cutting unit 50 is formed by binding three cutting blades 11 with one adapter 12, unlike the cutting unit 40 binding two cutting blades 11 with an adapter 12. In addition, the cutting unit 50 includes a cutting unit having an adapter 12 in which three cutting blades 11 are bundled and a further cutting unit having the same configuration as the cutting unit, like the cutting units 20 and 40. In opposite directions, the cutting blades 11 of the respective cutting units are arranged alternately.

  For the sake of explanation, the cutting unit in which the adapter 12 is provided on the left side in FIG. 6 is referred to as a first cutting unit 50L, and the cutting unit in which the adapter 12 is provided on the right side in FIG. The first cutting unit 50L and the second cutting unit 50R are collectively referred to as a cutting unit 50.

  The cutting unit 50 is arranged such that the first cutting unit 50L and the second cutting unit 50R are alternately positioned so that the cutting blades 11 of the respective cutting units 50L and 50R are alternately arranged.

  As with the cutting units 4, 20, 30, and 40, the cutting unit 50 configured as described above operates the mounting mechanism 18, which will be described later in detail, and releases the tension applied to the cutting blade 11. The cutting blade 11 can be removed from the support groove 13 of the frame 14 having the opening end formed in the same direction, the insertion groove 15 of the support member 16, and the engagement groove 31 of the gap forming member 32.
