<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce manhour for feeding and storing tubular bodies for labor saving by including a connecting/separating means for connecting or separating respective tubular bodies with/from each other, and a means for taking them out by moving them in such a direction as to approach the connecting/separating means. SOLUTION: This automatic feed and storage device 22 is formed so as to include a storage shelf 24, a connecting/separating device 25 serving as a connecting/separating means, and a pusher 26 serving as a taking-out means. The storage shelf 24 is formed into a roughly rectangular solid, and involves a plurality of storage spaces 27 in which a long protective pipe is capable of being inserted/removed in its longitudinal direction. The connecting/separating device 25 is formed to face the end surface of one side in the longitudinal direction of the storage shelf 24. The pusher 26 is formed so as to press the protective pipe to be connected by the connecting/separating device 25 from the other side in the longitudinal direction of the storage shelf 24, and push it out in such a direction as to approach the connecting/separating device 25. By moving a tubular body to be stored in such a direction as to approach the connecting/ separating device 25 for taking-out, it is possible to feed and connect the tubular body to the connecting/separating device 25.</p> |
