Abstract
A stretching apparatus includes: a planar body changing between a stretched state of being drawn out and planarly stretched and a storage state of being wound, and a pantograph mechanism being disposed on a back side of the planar body, expanded in the stretched state of the planar body and folded in the storage state of the planar body. The pantograph mechanism includes a set of first arms, a set of second arms rotatably connected to the set of first arms on a side of a drawing direction of the planar body and supporting an edge of the planar body in the drawing direction. At least one of the set of first arms and the set of second arms has a set of partial arms, and a rotation mechanism rotatably connecting the set of partial arms via a rotation shaft parallel to the planar body in the stretched state.

A stretching apparatus comprising:
- a planar body configured to take either a stretched state of being drawn out in a drawing direction to be planarly stretched or a storage state of being wound;
- a pantograph mechanism being disposed on a back side of the planar body, expanded in the stretched state of the planar body, and folded in the storage state of the planar body, the pantograph mechanism including a set of first arms, and a set of second arms rotatably connected to the set of first arms on a side of the drawing direction of the planar body, the set of second arms supporting an edge of the planar body in the drawing direction, at least one of the set of first arms and the set of second arms having a set of partial arms;
- and
- at least one rotation mechanism rotatably connecting the set of partial arms via a rotation shaft parallel to the planar body in the stretched state.
