Abstract
An apparatus for processing a rolled article has a rotary supporting mechanism for rotatably supporting opposite ends of a photosensitive roll, an end drawing mechanism for drawing a sheet end of the photosensitive roll to a prescribed length, a pressing mechanism for supporting opposite surfaces of the sheet end, and an applying mechanism for applying a joint tape to the sheet end supported by the pressing mechanism in a transverse direction of the photosensitive roll.
Claims4
An apparatus for processing a rolled article to apply a packaging sheet to a sheet end of a roll and thereafter winding said packaging sheet around the roll, comprising:
- a packaging sheet feeding mechanism for gripping an end of said packaging sheet, and feeding and positioning said packaging sheet in a winding position;
- an applying mechanism for applying said packaging sheet to the sheet end of the roll;
- a rotating mechanism for rotating the roll with said packaging sheet applied thereto;
- and
- a packaging sheet holding mechanism for moving said packaging sheet to the roll while gripping a winding terminal end of said packaging sheet when the roll is rotated.
A method of processing a rolled article to apply a packaging sheet to a sheet end of a roll and thereafter winding said packaging sheet around the roll, comprising the steps of:
- gripping an end of said packaging sheet, and feeding and positioning said packaging sheet in a winding position;
- applying said packaging sheet to the sheet end of the roll;
