Patent ID: 7832680

Claim:
A continuous sheet processing apparatus comprising: a main body portion having a roll body accommodating chamber for accommodating a roll body formed of a wound continuous sheet, and a roll body inlet through which the roll body is inserted into the roll body accommodating chamber; a door portion for opening and closing the roll body inlet; a guide portion that is disposed on one side with respect to a center reference line orthogonal to a center axis line of the roll body accommodated in the roll body accommodating chamber, and that holds from another side a drawn-out portion of the continuous sheet drawn out of a portion on the one side with respect to the center reference line of the roll body; a processing portion disposed on the another side with respect to the center reference line for processing the continuous sheet sent forth via the guide portion; and guide portion moving means for moving the guide between a first position, in conjunction with a closing operation of the door portion, at which the guide portion holds the drawn-out portion from the other side and a second position, in conjunction with an opening operation of the door portion, at which the guide portion is led out of a space between the drawn-out portion and the roll body, the guide portion moving means comprising a slider which is slidably provided along a wall surface of the roll body accommodating chamber facing an end surface of the roll body, and which slides while pressed by a pressing portion provided to the door portion in conjunction with the closing operation of the door portion; and a biasing member for biasing the slider slid by the pressing portion in a direction in which the slider is returned to an initial position; wherein the guide portion is rotatably provided to the slider along a virtual plane orthogonal to the wall surface while extending in a sliding direction of the slider; and a rotational axis portion of the guide portion has an engaging portion which protrudes therefrom and extends in a direction in which the engaging portion intersects with a center axis line of the guide portion such that in a state before the pressing portion allows the slider to slide, the engaging portion is inserted into a hole portion formed in the wall surface so as to dispose the guide portion at the second position along the wall surface, and in a state after the pressing portion allows the slider to slide, the engaging portion is disengaged from the hole portion so as to dispose the guide portion at the first position while the guide portion protrudes from the wall side surface.
