Abstract
The present invention simplifies an apparatus and is capable of, when replacing a roll, swiftly connecting the tail end side portion of a previously paid out web material and the lead end portion of web material to be paid out subsequently. A connecting apparatus 15 comprises a pay-out device 21, which is arranged so as to sequentially pay out web material M, which is wound on a first and second rolls 12 and 13, and a connecting device 22 that connects the portion at the tail end 12a (13a) side of the web material M from either one of the rolls 12 and 13 and the portion at the lead end 12b (13b) of the web material M from the other roll 12 (13). At the tail end 12a (13a) side, of the web material M, substantially a half of a connecting sheet M1 is stuck thereto. The connecting device 15 is arranged so that, when the tail end 12a (13a) of the web material M from either one of the rolls 12 and 13 has reached a predetermined position, the tail end 12a (13a) and the lead end 12b (13b) are aligned with each other, and the respective web material M from the first and second rolls 12 and 13 are connected to each other via the connecting sheet M1.

3. A connecting method of web material using a pay-out means, which sequentially pays out first and second rolls of web material to which substantially a half area of a piece of a connecting sheet is stuck at the tail end side thereof, and a connecting means, which connects the tail end side portion of the web material from one roll and the lead end side portion of the web material from another roll to each other, comprising the steps of:
-
after said tail end has reached a predetermined position by said pay-out means, positioning said tail end and said lead end to align with each other with the connecting means, and then applying the remaining half portion of said connecting sheet to the lead end portion from a roll to be connected with said connecting means;
whereinsaid connecting means comprises a first holding means for holding the lead end side portion of the web material from a first roll, a second holding means for holding the lead end side portion of the web material from a second roll, a receiving table for holding the web material from the first and second rolls from a lower surface side thereof, and a pressuring means, wherein said pressuring means is disposed between the receiving table and said first holding means when the web material is paid out from said first roll of web material, and wherein said pressuring means is disposed between said receiving table and said second holding means when the web material is paid out from said second roll of web material, and wherein said pressurizing means gives a pressing force to an upper surface side of the web material extending between the receiving table and either said first holding means or said second holding means, thereby connecting each of the web material from the first and second rolls via said connecting sheet.
