<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a drum-loading/unloading apparatus capable of completely supporting a drum over the whole drum movement. <P>SOLUTION: Apparatus (120) for facilitating the loading/unloading of a hollow cylindrical drum onto/from a drum axle (112) is provided with a plurality of extending slide mechanisms (122) and a bracket member (124). The bracket member (124) has a function (1) for rigidly connecting one slide member in each slide mechanism to the drum axle, a function (2) for establishing parallel relation between each slide mechanism and an axis formed by the drum axle, a function (3) for disposing these slide members at equal distances from the intended axis of drum rotation, and a function (4) for supporting the other slide member on a position for supporting the drum from the inside of the drum. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO |
