<p>PURPOSE:To prevent deformation of a master tape and reduce the occupied area to make a device compact by storing only the endless master tape in a loop bin and arranging the loop bin approximately horizontally to a floor surface. CONSTITUTION:A master tape 4 is circularly run through a transfer roll 5, the first direction switching means 6, a loop bin 8, the second direction switching means 11, etc. Meanwhile, a copy tape 15 is supplied from a supply reel base 16 and is transferred by the transfer roll 5 and is wound up around a take-up reel base 20. Only the master tape 4 is stored in the loop bin 8, and reel bases 16 and 20 and the transfer roll 5 are arranged vertically to the floor surface but only the loop bin 8 is arranged horizontally to the floor surface. Thus, an excess force is prevented from being applied to the master tape 4 by its own weight to prevent bend and deformation of the tape, and the occupied floor area is reduced to make the device compact.</p> |
