An apparatus for winding a narrow belt-shaped member in zigzag around a drum. The apparatus includes a support base, and a reciprocative motion device for reciprocatively moving the support base substantially along an axis of the drum between both ends of a predetermined region to maintain the distance between the drum and the support base at a constant value. The apparatus further includes a rocking base supported by the support base rockably about a rocking axis which is a normal to the outer surface of the drum, a rocking device for rocking the rocking base, and an attaching roller supported on the rocking base rotatably about an axis substantially in parallel with the axis of the drum for urging and attaching the supplied belt-shaped member to the drum after being wound partially around the attaching roller. In winding the belt-shaped member around the drum, the rocking base and the attaching roller are rocked by means of the rocking device to cause the rotating axis of the attaching roller to intersect orthogonally a straight line in parallel with the winding direction of the member.
A belt-shaped member winding apparatus for winding a narrow belt-shaped member in a zigzag around a drum by supplying to said rotating drum the narrow belt-shaped member being swung in axial directions of said drum within a predetermined region, said narrow belt-shaped member having a width narrower than a width of said drum to permit plural zigzag windings of said narrow belt-shaped member on the .drum surface, said apparatus comprising;
