Abstract: An apparatus for adhering ribbons to a cartridge shell plate comprises a conveyor for continuously conveying thin sheets disposed side by side, a pressure adherence unit for pushing two ribbon webs coated with an adhesive against edge portions of the thin sheets which are being conveyed, and a ribbon cutting mechanism for circulating cutter units beside the thin sheets in the direction of conveyance of the thin sheets in synchronization therewith, and swinging cutters of the cutter units to cut the ribbon webs between adjacent thin sheets. The cartridge shell plate is made by intermittently conveying thin sheets, which have been cut in a size equal to the developed length and width dimensions of the cartridge shell plate, by a conveyor, and cutting four corner portions of the thin sheet and then bending the thin sheet into a shiplike cross-sectional shape at a cutting process station and a bending process station disposed along the conveyor.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for loading film into film cartridges having an improved throughput rate. Caps, spools and shell plates are supplied simultaneously with the winding of film. Film is wound onto spools while the spools are held. Shell plates are held with a shell plate chuck in such a manner that the shell plate is half open. Spools on which film has been wound are inserted into corresponding half-open shell plates, after which the shell plates are shaped as required. Caps are then fitted onto both open ends of the shell plate.

Abstract: A web winding device of simple construction in which webs are successively attached to and wound on cores and in which the web winding width can be easily changed. A first web winding and product discharging station, a core supplying and web attaching station, and a second web winding and product discharging station are arranged in the stated order in a stationary frame. A winding unit having two web winding mechanisms coupled as a single unit extending in a longitudinal direction of the web is mounted on rails atop the stationary frame and is reciprocal therealong over the three stations. Each web winding device holds cores for the various web segments to be wound and motors for turning the cores and for adjusting the winding width.
