- the side roller 64 is also fixedly supported by the swing arm 61 so that the direction of the side roller 64 with respect to the swing arm 61 cannot be changed with the outer peripheral surface thereof facing the swing end 61 a of the swing arm 61.
- the outer peripheral surface of the support-side roller 64 always faces the swinging end side roller 63 in accordance with the reciprocating movement of the swinging end side roller 63, so that the belt member 121 is swung. It can be reliably sent toward the end side roller 63. As a result, it is possible to stabilize the running state of the band member 121, such as effectively preventing the band member 121 from falling off the swing end side roller 63.
- the rotation shaft C63 of the swing end side roller 63 and the rotation shaft C64 of the support shaft side roller 64 are always maintained in a parallel state regardless of the swing operation of the swing arm 61.

That is, in the example of FIG. 3B, D2> D1. As a result, a tension difference is generated between the two end edges 121e and 121e, and the tension difference is changed to a thrust force along the width direction of the band member 121. As a result, the band member 121 becomes an outer peripheral surface of the rollers 63 and 64. The belt member 121 comes off from these rollers 63 and 64 in the worst case.
- the rotation shafts C63 and C64 of the swing end side roller 63 and the support shaft side roller 64 are fixed to the swing arm 61 in a parallel state.
- the rotating shafts C63 and C64 are maintained in a state parallel to each other.
- the spanning path length D of 121 is substantially equal between both end edges 121e, 121e in the width direction of the band member 121 (D1 ⁇ D2), and the difference in tension between the both end edges 121e, 121e of the band member 121 does not substantially occur.
- the running state of the band member 121 on these rollers 63 and 64 is stabilized, and the dropping of the band member 121 is effectively prevented.
- the support shaft side roller 64 is fixed to the swing arm 61, but without being fixed, it is made independent of the swing arm 61 by an appropriate actuator such as a motor. It may be swung. That is, the rotating shaft C64 of the support-side roller 64 is supported to be swingable around the support shaft C61 with respect to the swing arm 61, and the swinging operation of the swing arm 61 is controlled by controlling the actuator. Accordingly, the support-side roller 64 may be swung so that the outer peripheral surface of the support-side roller 64 faces the swinging end 61a of the swinging arm 61. The running state of 121 is stabilized.
- the oscillating end side roller 63 is not fixed to the oscillating arm 61, and the rotation axis C63 of the oscillating end side roller 63 is necked around the axis parallel to the support shaft C61 with respect to the oscillating arm 61.
- the swing arm 61 may be supported so as to be able to swing.
- the oscillating end side roller 63 faces the direction in which the tension difference in the width direction of the belt member 121 that has been wound can be balanced, that is, the outer peripheral surface of the oscillating end side roller 63. Will be in a state of facing the MD direction slightly from the state of FIG. 3C described above.

- the supply direction of the member 121 may be aligned with the rotation center line L61 of the support shaft C61.
- the twist of the band member 121 that may be caused by the swinging operation of the swing arm 61 mainly appears as a twist of the portion 121a of the band member 121 on the upstream side of the support shaft side roller 64, and as a result, This is because twisting of the band member 121 on the downstream side of the shaft side roller 64 is reduced.
- the winding angle of the belt member 121 around the outer peripheral surface of the oscillating end side roller 63 is desirably 90 ° or more, more desirably 180 ° or more. This is because the belt member 121 can be firmly held by the frictional force of the outer peripheral surface by increasing the winding angle, and as a result, the strip member 121 can be effectively prevented from falling off the swinging end side roller 63. Because. In the example of FIG. 2A, the traveling direction of the band member 121 is reversed by the swing end side roller 63 and supplied to the transport roll 50 so that the winding angle is about 180 °.

- the distance from the winding start position Ps is preferably larger than 30 mm and smaller than 80 mm in a state where the straight line L1 of the swing arm 61 is oriented in a direction parallel to the MD direction. This is because if the distance is long, the portion of the belt member 121 that is separated from the swing end side roller 63 bends like a whip when the swing operation is reversed, and the operation delay from the swing end side roller 63 is delayed.
- the distance is preferably larger than 30 mm is that, when the swing arm 61 is short or the swing angle is wide, the swing end roller 63 moves at the winding start position Ps at the maximum amplitude of the swing arm 61. It is because there exists a possibility of moving over MD direction.
- a roller with a crown is a roller in which the maximum diameter portion of the roller is set at the center in the width direction. And according to this roller, since the centripetal force which goes to the center part of the width direction of a roller is provided to the belt member 121 hung around the outer peripheral surface by the part of the maximum diameter of an outer peripheral surface, it becomes difficult to remove

- the rotation axis C63 of the swing end side roller 63 and the rotation axis C64 of the support shaft side roller 64 face the horizontal direction. This is because the rotation axis C50 faces the horizontal direction that is the CD direction. This is because the belt member 121 is handed over to the transport roll 50 having a flat shape without twisting. Therefore, the directions of the rotation axes C63 and C64 of the swing end side roller 63 and the support shaft side roller 64 are not limited to the horizontal direction, and can be changed according to the direction in which the rotation axis C50 of the transport roll 50 faces. .
