Web material feeding apparatus

摘要

A web material feeding apparatus has a suction plate 24 provided near an outlet of a reservoir box 2 . The suction plate 24 can be shifted in the direction across a feeding path for tip paper C, by operation of a motor 76 . The feeding apparatus also has a sensor unit 96 provided at the upstream side of a receiving drum 12 . The sensor unit 96 supplies a detection signal to a controller 120 . When the controller 120 detects meandering of the tip paper C on the basis of the detection signal supplied from the sensor unit 96 , the controller 120 actuates the motor 76 to shift the suction plate 24 to thereby correct the meandering of the tip paper C.
