Apparatus for winding and pressure-fitting a small width strip to a rotating body

An apparatus for winding a small width member for feeding a starting end thereof to a rotating body and for pressure-fitting the same onto the rotating body, said apparatus comprising:

• holding means for holding the starting end of the small width member from both obverse and reverse surface sides thereof and for pressure-fitting the starting end of the small width member onto the rotating body;
• and
• feeding means for feeding the starting end of the small width member to the rotating body by moving the starting end thereof from a holding position where the small width member is held to the rotating body as said holding means is moved, said holding means including a holding member for holding the small width member, a holding-member moving member, said holding member swung as said holding-member moving member moves in a direction of a tangent to the rotating body parallel with an equatorial plane of the rotating body, to pressure-fit the starting end of the small width member onto the rotating body, wherein the rotating body is rotatable about an axis of rotation, and a radius of the rotating body from the axis of rotation to an outer periphery thereof changes in correspondence with an axial position, and said feeding means includes moving means for moving said holding means in parallel with the direction of the tangent to the rotating body.
