<p>The invention refers to an accumulating apparatus (4) for accumulating continuous sheet (9) supplied from an upstream apparatus (2) while continuously feeding said continuous sheet (9) to a downstream apparatus (3), comprising:
upper rollers (511) each of which is parallel with a horizontal direction;
lower rollers (512) each of which is parallel with a horizontal direction;
an upper arm (51) and a lower arm (52); and
a motion transmitting mechanism (60, 61, 62) mechanically coupling said upper arm (51) with said lower arm (52), when one arm of said upper arm (51) and said lower arm (52) is moved with respect to a vertical direction, said motion transmitting mechanism (60, 61, 62) simultaneously moving the other arm toward an opposite direction with respect to said vertical direction;
wherein said upper rollers (511) are arranged along an arm main body (512) of said upper arm (51),
said lower rollers (512) are arranged along an arm main body (522) of said lower arm (52),
said continuous sheet (9) is held in contact with said upper rollers (511) and said lower rollers (512) alternately to repeatedly travel between said upper arm (51) and said lower arm (52),
said motion transmitting mechanism (60, 61, 62) is a plurality of gears comprising:
an upper gear (61) fixed to said upper arm (51); and
a lower gear (62) fixed to said lower arm (52) and engaged with said upper gear (61) said upper arm (51) and said lower arm (52) are swung up and down, and in a state where said continuous sheet (9) is removed from said upper arm (51) and said lower arm (52), said upper arm (51) and said lower arm (52) are moved away from each other.</p> |
