Automatic feeding apparatus for band-shaped sheet

Abstract

Proposed is an automatic feeding apparatus for a band-shaped sheet. The automatic feeding apparatus for a band-shaped sheet includes an unwinding unit configured to feed band-shaped sheets wound on a plurality of feeding reels, a splicing unit configured to interconnect a first band-shaped sheet wound on an unwinding feeding reel that is unwinding among the plurality of feeding reels and a second band-shaped sheet wound on a standby feeding reel that is on standby for unwinding, a rewinding unit configured to take up a band-shaped sheet that is continuously fed by the splicing unit, and a buffer unit disposed between the splicing unit and the rewinding unit and configured to continuously guide the band-shaped sheet that is fed from the splicing unit to a downstream side at a predetermined speed.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
