A temporary storage device ( 21 ) includes a plurality of temporarily storing means ( 32 ), two in the disclosed embodiment, arranged parallel with each other in a lateral direction, wherein a linear body ( 16 ) is led from the outlet (X) of the temporarily storing means ( 32 a) to the inlet (N) of the temporarily storing means ( 32 b) by a guide means ( 39 ) so that, when the length of the temporarily stored linear body ( 16 ) is the same as a conventional one, the longitudinal length of the temporarily storing device ( 21 ) can be formed rather shorter than that of a conventional device and more specifically, the longitudinal length of the temporarily storing device ( 21 ) can be shortened approximately to a length obtained by dividing the longitudinal length of the conventional device by the number (i.e., two in this case) of the temporarily storage means ( 32 ). The temporarily storing device ( 21 ) can be thus generally made compact and easily installed also in an existing equipment.
