Claim:
1. A winding apparatus in which paper fed along a paper feed path is guided by a free roll provided for a swingable arm so as to be passed onto a winding core, the winding core being rotated to wind up the paper into a roll of paper thereon, characterized in that the apparatus comprises: a swing support member on which said arm is swingably supported at its base end so that its free end is moved towards and away from said winding core, the swing support member being positioned at one side of the winding core which is closer to the paper feed path and so that it does not interfere with the paper roll maximized in diameter; said free roll rotatably mounted on said arm between said base end and said free end so as not to contact with the paper roll maximized in diameter; a body of rotation mounted at said free end of the arm for contacting with said paper roll, wherein said free roll and said body of rotation are fixedly supported on said arm such that a distance between said free roll and said body of rotation is maintained constant; and a turning force imparting means for imparting a turning force to said arm to swing it so as to press said body of rotation against said paper roll, wherein the paper feed path of said winding apparatus extends in a first feed direction from proximate said base of said swingable arm to an upper side of said free roll and then extends in a second feed direction that is at a bending angle from said first feed direction downwards towards said free end, and wherein said swingable arm is arc shaped.
