Abstract

PURPOSE:To supply a wound original cloth after the automatic arrangement of the winding direction by preventing a supporting board from revolving when the first sensor for detecting the first state of the outer periphery of the original cloth generates a signal at first and allowing the supporting board to turn by 180 deg. when the second sensor generates the signal at first. CONSTITUTION:When the attached original cloth 10 of a special tape 30 is supplied into an original cloth supporting part 3, the original cloth 10 is detected by the sensors 6 and 6 and turned in the direction of arrow (a) by the rollers 4 and 4, supported by a supporting part 3. When the Al foil layer 31 of the tape 30 is detected by an approach sensor 21 at first, a supporting board 2 does not turn, and a cylinder 9 pushes up a supporting basic plate 7, and the original cloth 10 is discharged in the direction of arrow (c) and supplied into the next process. Further, when the attached original cloth 10 of the tape 30 is supplied into the supporting part 3 in the opposite direction and turned in the direction of arrow (a), the colored layer 32 of the tape 30 is detected by a color mark sensor 22 in advance of the Al foil layer 31, and the supporting board 2 is turned by 180 deg. in the direction of arrow (b). Therefore, the winding direction of the original cloth 10 is changed, and the original cloth 10 is discharged in the direction of arrow (c), and supplied into the next process.
