Support device for band-shaped sheet, and method for managing band-shaped sheet
First Claim
1. A support device for a belt-shaped sheet that is configured to support a belt-shaped sheet wound around a shaft core having a hollow cylindrical shape in a manner capable of feeding the belt-shaped sheet, the support device comprising:
- a support shaft configured to be inserted into a hollow part of the shaft core;
a frame that is configured to support the support shaft;
a non-contact data carrier provided to an inner circumferential surface or an outer circumferential surface of the shaft core along an axial line of the support shaft;
an antenna surface perpendicular to the axis line of the support shaft; and
a loop antenna provided on the antenna surface, whereinthe shaft core is provided with the data carrier capable of at least one of storing and transmitting predetermined data,the loop antenna comprises a loop unit coiled to define a loop so as to surround the axis line, andthe loop unit of the loop antenna is disposed in the vicinity of the shaft core when the shaft core is seen through the loop antenna along the axis line.

Abstract
A support device, which supports a belt-shaped sheet wound around a hollow cylindrical shaft core so as to feed the belt-shaped sheet, includes a support shaft that is insertable into a hollow part of the shaft core, a frame that supports the support shaft, an antenna surface perpendicular to an axis line of the support shaft, and a loop antenna provided to the antenna surface. The shaft core includes a non-contact data carrier capable of at least one of storing and transmitting predetermined data. The loop antenna includes a loop unit coiled to define a loop surrounding the axis line. When the shaft core is seen through the loop antenna along the axis line, the loop unit is disposed in the vicinity of the shaft core.
