Abstract

Selon la présente invention, deux rouleaux d'alimentation sont disposés chacun à un intervalle fixe dans une direction de la largeur pour chacun de trois arbres disposés à un intervalle fixe dans une direction de transport, et des rouleaux de tension sont disposés dans des positions faisant face aux rouleaux d'alimentation. En outre, l'intervalle est rendu plus court qu'une longueur d'un chèque parallèle à la direction de transport, et l'intervalle entre un arbre et un autre arbre est plus long que la longueur du chèque. Au moyen de cette configuration, le nombre d'arbres servant à supporter les rouleaux d'alimentation peut être réduit par rapport à l'état de la technique, tandis que l'état d'obliquité des chèques est éliminée.
