Abstract:
A paper pasting device having a depressing member depressing a currently consumed paper extracted from one of a plurality of rolls of paper web supported on a support device, onto a pasting portion provided on a paper end of another roll of paper web, which another roll is driven to rotate at a peripheral speed substantially the same as a feeding speed of said currently consumed paper, comprising:first depressing means cooperatively connected with said depressing member, for urging said depressing member toward said currently consumed paper and depressing said currently consumed paper onto said another roll of the paper web; andbrake means, provided adjacent to a first portion of said depressing member and a cooperating member of said depressing member, for restricting bounding of said depressing member caused by a reactive force generated as a result of contact of the first portion contacting the currently consumed paper which causes resilient deformation by a force in a feeding direction applied from said currently consumed paper associated with actuation of said first depressing means, wherein said brake means has a concave curved surface located in mating configuration with the outer periphery of said shaft and substantially complementary with the outer periphery, and said concave curved surface has at least a portion opposing to the feeding direction of said current consumed paper.
