Background Art

[0002] As an example of the prior art of this type of device, the one described in Patent Document 1 can be cited. Patent Document 1 has the following disclosure. Before winding a printed long member such as a fiber yarn or paper around a core tube, when air pressure is supplied to a cylinder chamber via a check valve, a piston overcomes the force of a spring and moves to the inner diameter side of the main body. Thereby, a lug integrated with the piston is retracted from the outer surface of the main body, and the air pressure in the cylinder chamber is held by the check valve. Thereby, a shaft can be inserted into the core tube. After inserting the shaft into the core tube, by opening the check valve, the air pressure in the cylinder chamber is released. Thereby, the lug integrated with the piston by the spring pops out from the outer surface of the main body and abuts against the inner surface of the core tube, and the holding shaft holds the core tube. In a state where the shaft and the core tube are held, when winding of the printed long member is completed, by performing the same operation as above, the shaft can be extracted from the core tube. Incidentally, the core tube is also referred to as a paper tube.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In Patent Document 1, although the configuration in the case of winding the printed long member around the core tube is disclosed, there is a problem that a core tube is required every time the printed long member is wound, resulting in high production costs. Furthermore, the adhesive sheets used to attach and transport the printed long members, and the release paper peeled off the adhesive sheets, and other materials that become unnecessary after use, are wound onto the core tube and then discarded together with the core tube, which leads to an increase in waste. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] To solve the above problems, the winding device according to the present invention is characterized by comprising a rotating shaft member, a plurality of first displacement parts, one end of which is attached to the shaft member and capable of changing the radial length of the shaft member, and an outer peripheral member, which is attached to the other end of the plurality of first displacement parts and around which a long member is wound.

[0006] Furthermore, the recording device according to the present invention comprises an unwinding unit that unwinds a rolled long member in the transport direction, a recording unit that records on the long member, and a winding device located downstream of the recording unit in the transport direction and winding up the long member, wherein the winding device is one of the first to sixteenth embodiments described later.

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0008] The present invention will now be described in general terms. To solve the above problems, a winding device according to a first aspect of the present invention is characterized by comprising a rotating shaft member, a plurality of first displacement parts, one end of which is attached to the shaft member and capable of changing the radial length of the shaft member, and an outer peripheral member, which is attached to the other end of the plurality of first displacement parts and around which a long member is wound.

[0009] According to this embodiment, the device is provided with a plurality of first displacement parts, one end of which is attached to the shaft member, and which can change the radial length of the shaft member. Furthermore, it is provided with an outer peripheral member attached to the other ends of the plurality of first displacement parts, around which a long member is wrapped. As a result, the outer peripheral member around which the long member is wound can be separated from the wound long member by changing the length of the first displacement portion in a direction that shortens after the winding of the long member is completed. Therefore, the long member can be wound around the outer peripheral member without requiring a core tube as in the conventional method, and the wound long member can be easily removed from the winding device. The effect obtained is particularly great when the long member being wound is of a type that has an adhesive surface. Based on the above, this embodiment makes it possible to reduce production costs by eliminating the need for the core tube, and furthermore, to suppress the increase in the amount of waste.

[0010] A winding device according to a second aspect of the present invention is an aspect dependent on the first aspect, characterized in that it comprises a fixing member capable of switching between a fixed state in which the tip of the long member is fixed and a released state in which the tip is released.

[0011] According to this embodiment, the winding device is equipped with a fixing member that can switch between a fixed state in which the tip of the long member is fixed and a released state in which the tip is released. This eliminates the need to attach the tip of the long member with tape or the like, as in the conventional method, making it easier for the user to use. Furthermore, when separating the long member in its wound state from the outer peripheral member, the fixing member releases the fixing of the tip of the long member, thereby switching from the fixed state to the released state. This makes it even easier to remove the long member in its wound state from the winding device.

[0012] A winding device according to a third aspect of the present invention is an aspect dependent on the second aspect, comprising a second displacement portion arranged between a plurality of first displacement portions in the circumferential direction of the shaft member, with one end attached to the shaft member, and capable of changing the radial length of the shaft member, wherein the fixing member is attached to the other end of the second displacement portion, and the radial length of the second displacement portion is changed to bring it closer to the outer peripheral member, thereby fixing the tip of the long member by sandwiching it with the outer peripheral member in a pair.

[0013] According to this embodiment, the second displacement portion is arranged between a plurality of first displacement portions in the circumferential direction of the shaft member. One end of the second displacement portion is attached to the shaft member, and the radial length of the shaft member can be changed. The fixing member is attached to the other end of the second displacement portion. Furthermore, the fixing member is configured such that the radial length of the second displacement portion is changed to move closer to the outer peripheral member, thereby clamping and fixing the tip of the long member in conjunction with the outer peripheral member. The fixing member is configured such that the radial length of the second displacement portion is changed to move away from the outer peripheral member, thereby releasing the tip of the long member. This allows the tip of the long member to be fixed and released with a simple structure consisting of a pair of the fixing member and the outer peripheral member.

[0014] The winding device according to the fourth aspect of the present invention is an aspect dependent on the third aspect, wherein the fixing member is displaced to the same position in the radial direction where the long member is wound around the outer peripheral member by changing the radial length of the second displacement portion, and the tip of the long member is sandwiched and fixed in pair with the outer peripheral member.

[0015] According to this aspect, the fixing member is displaced to the same position in the radial direction where the long member is wound around the outer peripheral member via the second displacement portion. The displacement of the fixing member is configured to sandwich and fix the tip of the long member in pair with the outer peripheral member. That is, the tip of the long member is sandwiched and fixed by the pair of the side surface of the fixing member and the side surface of the outer peripheral member. Thereby, the tip of the long member can be fixed and released with a simple structure of the pair of the side surface of the fixing member and the side surface of the outer peripheral member.

[0016] The winding device according to the fifth aspect of the present invention is an aspect dependent on the third aspect, wherein the fixing member is displaced to a position inside the position where the long member is wound around the outer peripheral member in the radial direction by changing the radial length of the second displacement portion, and the tip of the long member is sandwiched and fixed in pair with the outer peripheral member.

[0017] According to this aspect, the fixing member is displaced to a position inside the position where the long member is wound around the outer peripheral member in the radial direction by changing the radial position via the second displacement portion. The displacement of the fixing member is configured to sandwich and fix the tip of the long member in pair with the outer peripheral member. That is, the tip of the long member is sandwiched and fixed by the pair of the outer surface of the fixing member and the inner surface of the outer peripheral member. Thereby, the tip of the long member can be fixed and released with a simple structure of the pair of the outer surface of the fixing member and the inner surface of the outer peripheral member. [[ID=十七]] 〆

[0018] A winding device according to a sixth aspect of the present invention is an aspect dependent on the second aspect, wherein adjacent outer peripheral members in the circumferential direction of the shaft member are designated as a first outer peripheral member and a second outer peripheral member, and the fixing member is provided on the first outer peripheral member and is switchable between a fixed state in which it contacts the second outer peripheral member to clamp and fix the tip of the long member together with the second outer peripheral member, and a released state in which it separates from the second outer peripheral member to release the fixing of the tip of the long member. Here, "contact" in the phrase "the fixing member... contacts the second outer peripheral member..." means that the tip of the elongated member is sandwiched between the fixing member and the second outer peripheral member and they come into contact.

[0019] According to this embodiment, the fixing member is provided on the first outer peripheral member. The fixing member is configured to be switchable between a fixed state in which it contacts the second outer peripheral member to clamp and fix the tip of the long member together with the second outer peripheral member, and a released state in which it separates from the second outer peripheral member to release the fixing of the tip of the long member. This allows the fixing state and the release state of the tip of the elongated member to be switched by a simple structure that switches the fixing member provided on the first outer peripheral member between a state in contact with the second outer peripheral member and a state in separation. Thus, the tip of the elongated member can be fixed and released.

[0020] A winding device according to a seventh aspect of the present invention is an aspect dependent on the sixth aspect, characterized in that the fixing member is attached to the first outer peripheral member at one end as a pivot point and rotates at the other end as a free end, thereby switching between the fixed state and the released state.

[0021] According to this embodiment, the fixing member is attached to the first outer peripheral member at one end as a pivot point. Furthermore, the fixing member is configured such that the fixed state and the released state can be switched by the other end rotating as a free end. This allows the tip of the long member to be fixed and released with a simple structure in which the fixing member is rotated with one end as a pivot point.

[0022] An eighth aspect of the present invention is a winding device that is dependent on the sixth aspect, wherein the fixing member has one end attached to the first outer peripheral member and the other end having a facing portion that faces the inner surface of the second outer peripheral member, and the device switches from the open state to the fixed state by extending the radial length of the first displacement portion to which the second outer peripheral member is attached, thereby extending the radial length of the first displacement portion to which the first outer peripheral member is attached and bringing the facing portion closer to the inner surface of the second outer peripheral member.

[0023] According to this embodiment, the fixing member has one end attached to the first outer peripheral member and the other end having a facing portion that faces the inner surface of the second outer peripheral member. The configuration is such that the release state is switched to the fixed state by extending the radial length of the first displacement portion to which the second outer peripheral member is attached, and bringing the facing portion closer to the inner surface of the second outer peripheral member. This allows the tip of the long member to be switched from the open state to the fixed state with respect to it using a simple structure in which the opposing portion of the fixed member is displaced by the first displacement portion so as to contact the inner surface of the second outer peripheral member.

[0024] A winding device according to a ninth aspect of the present invention is an aspect dependent on the second aspect, comprising a second displacement portion arranged between a plurality of first displacement portions in the circumferential direction of the shaft member, one end of which is attached to the shaft member and the other end of which is attached to the fixing member, and which can change the radial length of the shaft member, wherein the fixing member is fixed by sandwiching the tip of the long member between the shaft member and the fixing member when the radial length of the second displacement portion is changed and it approaches the shaft member.

[0025] According to this embodiment, the second displacement portion is arranged between a plurality of first displacement portions in the circumferential direction of the shaft member. One end of the second displacement portion is attached to the shaft member, and the radial length of the shaft member can be changed. The fixing member is attached to the other end of the second displacement portion. Furthermore, the fixing member is configured such that the radial length of the second displacement portion is changed to move closer to the shaft member, thereby clamping and fixing the tip of the elongated member in conjunction with the shaft member. The fixing member is also configured such that the radial length of the second displacement portion is changed to move away from the shaft member, thereby releasing the tip of the elongated member. This allows the tip of the long member to be fixed and released with a simple structure consisting of a pair of the fixing member and the shaft member.

[0026] A winding device according to a tenth aspect of the present invention is an aspect dependent on the second aspect, characterized in that the fixing member is switchable between a fixed state in which it moves to a position where it clamps the tip of the long member in conjunction with the shaft member and fixes it, and a released state in which it moves from the clamping position and releases the fixing of the tip of the long member.

[0027] According to this embodiment, the fixing member is configured to be switchable between a fixed state in which it moves to a position where it clamps the tip of the long member in conjunction with the shaft member and fixes it, and a released state in which it moves from the clamping position and releases the fixing of the tip of the long member. This allows the tip of the long member to be fixed and released by moving the fixing member to the clamping position and moving it away from the clamping position.

[0028] A winding device according to an eleventh aspect of the present invention is an aspect dependent on the tenth aspect, characterized in that the fixed member is attached to the shaft member at one end as a pivot point and rotates at the other end as a free end, thereby switching between the fixed state and the released state.

[0029] According to this embodiment, the fixing member is attached to the shaft member at one end as a pivot point. Furthermore, the fixing member is configured to switch between the fixed state and the released state by rotating at the other end as a free end. This allows the tip of the long member to be fixed and released with a simple structure in which the fixing member is rotated with one end as a pivot point.

[0030] A winding device according to a twelfth aspect of the present invention is an aspect dependent on the tenth aspect, characterized in that the shaft member is provided with a recess into which the fixing member is detachably fitted, and the fixing member can switch between a fixed state in which it moves to a position in which it fits into the recess and is fixed, and a released state in which it moves from the position in which it fits and releases the fixing of the tip of the long member.

[0031] According to this embodiment, the fixing member is configured to switch between a fixed state in which it moves to a position where it fits into the recess and is fixed, and a released state in which it moves from the fitting position and releases the fixing of the tip of the long member. This allows the tip of the elongated member to be fixed and released by moving the fixing member to the fitting position and moving it away from the fitting position.

[0032] A winding device according to a thirteenth aspect of the present invention is an aspect dependent on the third aspect, characterized in that the outer peripheral member is in point contact or line contact with the elongated member to be wound around. Furthermore, this embodiment may be subordinate to any one of the embodiments from the fourth to the ninth embodiment.

[0033] According to this embodiment, the outer peripheral member is configured to be in point contact or line contact with the elongated member around which it is wound. As a result, the contact area of ​​the portion of the elongated member that contacts the outer peripheral member is smaller than that of surface contact, so that the length of the first displacement portion of the outer peripheral member around which the elongated member is wound can be easily changed in a direction that shortens after the winding of the elongated member is completed, and thereby the outer peripheral member can be easily separated from the elongated member in its wound state.

[0034] A winding device according to a fourteenth aspect of the present invention is an aspect dependent on the ninth aspect, characterized in that the outer peripheral member is in point contact or line contact with the elongated member to be wound around. Furthermore, this embodiment may be subordinate to any one of the embodiments from the 10th to the 12th.

[0035] According to this embodiment, the outer peripheral member is configured to be in point contact or line contact with the elongated member around which it is wound. As a result, the contact area of ​​the portion of the elongated member that contacts the outer peripheral member is smaller than that of a surface contact, so that the length of the first displacement portion of the outer peripheral member around which the elongated member is wound can be easily changed in a direction that shortens after the winding of the elongated member is completed, thereby making it easy to separate the outer peripheral member from the elongated member in its wound state.

[0036] A winding device according to a 15th aspect of the present invention is an aspect dependent on the second aspect, characterized in that the outer peripheral member and the fixing member are arranged in a plurality of regions in the axial direction of the shaft member. Furthermore, this embodiment may be subordinate to any one of the third through fourteenth embodiments.

[0037] According to this embodiment, the outer peripheral member and the fixing member are configured to be arranged in multiple regions in the axial direction of the shaft member. That is, there are regions in the axial direction of the shaft member where the outer peripheral member and the fixing member are not present. As a result, the contact area of ​​the portion of the elongated member that contacts the outer peripheral member is reduced by the amount of the region where they are not present, and the outer peripheral member can be easily separated from the elongated member when it is wound up. In addition, the weight of the winding device can be reduced.

[0038] A winding device according to the sixteenth aspect of the present invention is an aspect dependent on the fifteenth aspect, characterized in that the outer peripheral member arranged in the first region of the plurality of regions and the outer peripheral member arranged in the second region adjacent to the first region in the axial direction of the shaft member do not overlap in the circumferential direction of the shaft member. That is, the outer peripheral member of the first region and the outer peripheral member of the second region are configured to be arranged in a staggered pattern.

[0039] According to this embodiment, the outer peripheral member of the first region and the outer peripheral member of the second region are configured to be in a staggered arrangement. This allows the portion of the long member that would otherwise be suspended in the air without being wrapped around the outer peripheral member of the first region to be wrapped around the outer peripheral member of the second region, thereby suppressing a decrease in winding accuracy.

[0040] A recording device according to the 17th aspect of the present invention comprises an unwinding unit that unwinds a rolled-up elongated member in the transport direction, a recording unit that records on the elongated member, and a winding device located downstream of the recording unit in the transport direction that winds up the elongated member, wherein the winding device is described in any one of the first to 16th aspects.

[0041] According to this embodiment, the recording device can achieve the same effects as that described in any one of the first to sixteenth embodiments.

[0042] A recording device according to the 18th aspect of the present invention is an aspect dependent on the 17th aspect, wherein the dispensing unit dispenses a roll-shaped elongated member, which has a support member having an adhesive surface and fabric attached to it, in the transport direction, and the winding device has a support member winding device and a fabric winding unit that peel the fabric from the support member and wind them up, wherein at least the support member winding device is described in any one of the first to 16th aspects.

[0043] According to this embodiment, at least the support member winding device is one of the embodiments described in any one of the embodiments from the first to the sixteenth. As a result, even when a long support member having an adhesive surface is wound up, the same effect as that described in any one of the embodiments from the first to the sixteenth is obtained.

[0044] [Embodiment] Hereinafter, a winding device and a recording device according to embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to Figures 1 to 9. In this description, the case in which the recording device is an inkjet printer will be explained. In the following explanation, the three mutually orthogonal axes will be referred to as the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis, as shown in each figure. The direction indicated by the arrows on the three axes (X, Y, Z) is the positive direction, and the opposite direction is the negative direction. The Z-axis direction corresponds to the vertical direction, i.e., the direction in which gravity acts, with the +Z direction indicating vertically upwards and the -Z direction indicating vertically downwards. The X-axis and Y-axis directions correspond to the horizontal direction. The +Y direction indicates the front direction of the recording device, and the -Y direction indicates the rear direction of the recording device. The +X direction indicates the right direction of the recording device, and the -X direction indicates the left direction of the recording device.

[0045] [Embodiment 1] As shown in Figure 1, the recording device 1 of this embodiment includes a feeding unit 3 that feeds out the long member 2 in the transport direction F, a recording unit 4, a pressing unit 5, and an adjustment unit 6. The elongated member 2 is a roll-shaped elongated member formed by attaching a sheet-like fabric 9 to a sheet-like support member 8 having an adhesive surface 7. The elongated member 2 is set in the dispensing unit 3 in the form of a roll R1. The dispensing unit 3 rotates the roll R1 to feed out the elongated member 2 in the transport direction F. The recording unit 4 performs recording by ejecting ink onto the fabric 9 of the extended long member 2 in the recording execution area 10. In the recording execution area 10, the long member 2 is supported by the platen 11.

[0046] The pressing section 5 is located upstream of the recording section 4 in the transport direction F. The pressing section 5 is configured to grip the elongated member 2 moving in the transport direction F and apply a pressing force P to press it. The pressing section 5 consists of a pair of drive rollers 20 and pressing rollers 21. The drive roller 20 is power-connected to the drive unit 19 (Figure 1) and is given rotational driving force. A motor is used for the drive unit 19. The adjustment unit 6 is configured to allow adjustment of the pressing force P applied to the long member 2 by the pressing unit 5. The adjustment unit 6 has predetermined appropriate pressing force P values ​​for multiple types of long member 2 that are expected to be used, based on prototypes and other methods. The system is configured so that the user can identify the type of long member 2 via an operation panel (not shown in the diagram), and the corresponding pressing force P will be applied to the long member 2.

[0047] As shown in Figure 1, the recording device 1 further includes a transport unit 12 that applies a transport force to the long member 2 toward the recording unit 4, intermediate rollers 13 and 14, a drying unit 15, an end roller pair 16, and a winding device 17. The conveying section 12 consists of a pair of conveying rollers 121, which are rotated by power transmitted from a drive source (not shown), and driven rollers 122, which rotate in conjunction with the rotation of the conveying rollers 121. The intermediate rollers 13 and 14 are positioned to change the conveying direction of the long member 2 and rotate in conjunction with the movement of the long member 2 in the conveying direction F. The drying section 15 heats and dries the elongated member 2 from which the ink has been ejected. The end roller 16 grips the elongated member 2 and rotates in conjunction with the movement of the elongated member 2.

[0048] In this embodiment, the winding device 17 comprises a fabric winding device 171 and a support member winding device 172. The fabric winding device 17 winds up only the fabric 9 to create a roll R3. The support member winding device 18 is positioned at a distance from the fabric winding device 17 and winds up only the support member 8 to create a roll R2. In other words, the long member 2 is held between the end rollers 16, and the fabric winding device 171 winds up only the fabric 9, and the support member winding device 172 winds up only the support member 8, so that the two are separated.

[0049] <Take-up device> As shown in Figures 2 and 3, in this embodiment, the support member winding device 172 of the winding device 17 comprises a shaft member 23 that rotates around an axis CD, a first displacement part 24, and an outer peripheral member 25. The shaft member 23 is elongated in the X-axis direction, and both ends are supported by bearings (not shown), and rotational power is transmitted from a drive source (not shown) to cause it to rotate around an axis CD. The first displacement unit 23 has one end attached to the shaft member 23 and can change the radial length (direction perpendicular to the X-axis) of the shaft member 23. Multiple first displacement units 24 are provided; in this embodiment, four are provided. In this embodiment, the first displacement unit 24 is configured to change the radial length of the shaft member 23 by a cylinder 26 that uses air or oil as the power fluid. Note that the use of a cylinder 26 as the first displacement unit 24 is just one example and is not limited to this; any mechanism that can change the radial length of the shaft member 23, such as a link mechanism, may be used. The outer peripheral member 24 is attached to the other end of each of the four first displacement portions 24. The long member 2 is in contact with and wrapped around the outer surface 27 of the outer peripheral member 24.

[0050] The support member winding device 172 includes a fixing member 28. The fixing member 28 is configured to be switchable between a fixed state in which the tip 29 of the long member 2 is fixed (states ST3 and ST4 in Figure 2) and a released state in which the tip 29 is released (states ST5 and ST6 in Figure 2). In this embodiment, a second displacement portion 30 is positioned at one location among four first displacement portions 24, 24, 24, 24 in the circumferential direction (same direction as the axis CD) of the shaft member 23. One end of the second displacement portion 30 is attached to the shaft member 23, and the length of the shaft member 23 in the radial direction (direction perpendicular to the X-axis) is configured to be changeable. In this embodiment, the length of the second displacement portion 30 in the radial direction (direction perpendicular to the X-axis) of the shaft member 23 is also configured to be changeable by a cylinder 31 using air or oil. The fixing member 28 is attached to the other end of the second displacement portion 30. The fixing member 28 is configured to fix the tip 29 of the long member 2 by sandwiching it with the outer peripheral member 25 when the radial length (direction perpendicular to the X-axis) of the second displacement portion 30 is changed and it approaches the outer peripheral member 25.

[0051] In this embodiment, as shown in states ST3 and ST4 in Figure 2, the fixing member 28 is configured to be displaced in the radial direction (direction perpendicular to the X-axis) to the same position as the outer surface 27, which is the position where the long member 2 is wrapped around the outer peripheral member 25, by changing the length of the second displacement portion 30 in the radial direction (direction perpendicular to the X-axis). Furthermore, the fixing member 28 is configured to be displaced to the same position as the outer surface 27 of the outer peripheral member 25, thereby sandwiching and fixing the tip 29 of the long member 2 together with the outer peripheral member 25. In other words, the fixing member 28 is configured to be positioned so that the side surface 32 of the fixing member 28 and the side surface 33 of the outer peripheral member 25 sandwich and fix the tip 29 of the long member 2. State ST1 in Figure 2 shows the state in which the lengths of the first displacement section 24 and the second displacement section 30 are at their shortest. State ST2 in Figure 2 shows the state in which the length of the second displacement section 30 remains at its shortest, while the length of the first displacement section 24 changes to its longest.

[0052] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 3, the outer peripheral member 25 and the fixing member 28 are arranged in multiple regions in the axial direction (X-axis direction) of the shaft member 23. That is, the pairs of the outer peripheral member 25 and the fixing member 28 are arranged in the first region A1, the second region A2, the third region A3, the fourth region A4, and so on. In Figure 3, the fourth region A4 and beyond are not shown. Furthermore, the outer peripheral members 25 positioned in the first region A1 and the outer peripheral members 25 positioned in the second region A2 adjacent to the first region A1 are arranged so as not to overlap in the circumferential direction of the shaft member 23 (the same direction as the axis CD). In other words, the outer peripheral members 25 of the first region A1 and the outer peripheral members 25 of the second region A2 are arranged in a staggered pattern. Similarly, the outer peripheral members 25 of the second region A2 and the outer peripheral members 25 of the third region A3 are arranged in a staggered pattern. The outer peripheral members 25 of the third region A3 and the outer peripheral members 25 of the fourth region A4 are arranged in a staggered pattern. And so on, the outer peripheral members are arranged in a staggered pattern.

[0053] The operation of the dispensing unit 3, pressing unit 5, transport unit 12, recording unit 4, drying processing unit 15, fabric winding device 17, and support member winding device 18 is performed by the control unit 28 (Figure 1). Here, the control unit 28 is equipped with a CPU, flash ROM, and RAM. The CPU performs various calculations according to the program stored in the flash ROM and controls the operation of the entire recording device 1. Flash ROM, an example of a storage means, is a non-volatile memory that can be read and written to. RAM, another example of a storage means, temporarily stores various types of information.

[0054] <Description of the operation of Embodiment 1> Next, the operation of Embodiment 1 will be explained using Figure 2. (1) First, change the support member winding device 172 from state ST1 in Figure 2 to state ST2. That is, while the length of the second displacement section 30 remains in its shortest state, change the length of the first displacement section 24 to its longest state. (2) Next, the tip 29 of the elongated member 2, i.e., the tip 29 of the support member 8, is positioned in the region between the side surface 32 of the fixing member 28 and the side surface 33 of the outer peripheral member 25 (state ST2). (3) In that state, the second displacement part 30 displaces the fixing member 28 to the same position as the outer surface 27 of the outer peripheral member 25 (state ST3). As a result, the tip 29 of the long member 2 is sandwiched and fixed between the side surface 32 of the fixing member 28 and the side surface 33 of the outer peripheral member 25, and becomes fixed. In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 3, the outer peripheral members 25 of the first region A1 and the outer peripheral members 25 of the second region A2 are arranged in a staggered pattern. Therefore, the position 71 at which the tip 29 of the long member 2 is fixed by the fixing member 28 of the first region A1 and the position 72 at which the fixing member 28 of the second region A2 is fixed are offset in the circumferential direction of the shaft member 23. To address this, the tip 29 of the long member 2 is notched and cut to fix it at the respective positions 71 and 72. (4) Next, the shaft member 23 of the support member winding device 172 is rotated around the axis CD. Due to this rotation, the long member 2 is wound up in contact with the outer surfaces 27,27,27,... of each outer peripheral member 25,25,25,... and becomes a roll body R2 (state ST4). (5) Next, the length of the second displacement portion 30 is shortened to pull the fixing member 28 back toward the shaft member 23, and the fixed state of the tip 29 is switched to the released state (state ST5). (6) Next, the length of each first displacement section 24 is shortened to pull each outer peripheral member 25 back toward the shaft member 23 (state ST6). As a result, each outer peripheral member 25, 25, 25, ... of the support member winding device 172 separates from the inner surface of the roll body R2. Finally, the roll body R2 is removed from the support member winding device 172.

[0055] <Description of the effects of Embodiment 1> (1) In this embodiment, one end of each first displacement portion 24 is attached to the shaft member 23, and the length of the shaft member 23 in the radial direction (direction perpendicular to the X-axis) can be changed. Furthermore, the other end of each first displacement portion 24 is attached to an outer peripheral member 25, which the elongated member 2 contacts and wraps around. This allows the outer peripheral member 25 around which the long member 2 is wound to be separated from the wound long member 2 (R2) by changing the length of the first displacement section 24 in a direction that shortens after the winding of the long member 2 is complete. Therefore, the long member 2 can be wound around the outer peripheral member 25 without requiring a core tube as in the conventional method, and the wound long member 2 can be easily removed from the winding device 17. The effect is particularly great when the long member 2 being wound is of a type that has an adhesive surface 7. Based on the above, this embodiment makes it possible to reduce production costs by eliminating the need for the core tube, and furthermore, to suppress the increase in the amount of waste.

[0056] (2) In this embodiment, the winding device 17 is equipped with a fixing member 28 that can switch between a fixed state in which the tip 29 of the long member 2 is fixed and a released state in which the tip 29 is released. This eliminates the need to attach the tip 29 of the long member 2 with tape or the like, as in the conventional method, making it easier for the user to use. Furthermore, when separating the wound-up elongated member 2 from the outer peripheral member 25, the fixing member 28 releases the fixing of the tip 29 of the elongated member 2, thereby switching from the fixed state to the released state. This makes it even easier to remove the wound-up elongated member 2 from the winding device 17.

[0057] (3) In this embodiment, the second displacement portion 30 is positioned between the multiple first displacement portions 24 in the circumferential direction of the shaft member 23 (the same direction as the axis CD). One end of the second displacement portion 30 is attached to the shaft member 23, and the radial length of the shaft member 23 can be changed. The fixing member 28 is attached to the other end of the second displacement portion 30. Furthermore, the fixing member 28 is configured such that the radial length of the second displacement portion 30 is changed to move closer to the outer peripheral member 25, thereby clamping and fixing the tip 29 of the long member 2 in conjunction with the outer peripheral member 25. The fixing member 28 is configured such that the radial length of the second displacement portion 30 is changed to move away from the outer peripheral member 25, thereby releasing the tip 29 of the long member 2. This allows the tip 29 of the long member 2 to be fixed and released with a simple structure consisting of a fixing member 28 and an outer peripheral member 25.

[0058] (4) In this embodiment, the fixing member 28 is also displaced via the second displacement portion 30 to the same position in the radial direction as the position where the elongated member 2 is wrapped around the outer peripheral member 25. The displacement of the fixing member 28 is configured to clamp and fix the tip 29 of the elongated member 2 between the fixing member 28 and the outer peripheral member 25. That is, the tip 29 of the elongated member 2 is clamped and fixed between the side surface 32 of the fixing member 28 and the side surface 33 of the outer peripheral member 25. This allows the tip 29 of the elongated member 2 to be fixed and released with a simple structure consisting of a pair of sides 32 of the fixing member 28 and sides 33 of the outer peripheral member 25.

[0059] (5) In this embodiment, the outer peripheral member 25 and the fixing member 28 are configured to be positioned in multiple regions A1, A2, A3, ... in the axial direction (X-axis direction) of the shaft member 23. That is, there are regions in the axial direction of the shaft member 23 where the outer peripheral member 25 and the fixing member 28 are not present. As a result, the contact area of ​​the portion of the elongated member 2 that contacts the outer peripheral member 25 is reduced by the amount of the region where the outer peripheral member 28 is not present, and the outer peripheral member 25 can be easily separated from the elongated member 2 when it is wound up. In addition, the weight of the winding device 17 can be reduced.

[0060] (6) In addition, in this embodiment, the outer peripheral members 25 of the first region A1 and the outer peripheral members 25 of the second region A2 are configured to be in a staggered arrangement. This allows the portion of the long member 2 that would otherwise be suspended in the air without being wrapped around the outer peripheral member 25 of the first region A1 to be wrapped around the outer peripheral member 25 of the second region A2, thereby suppressing a decrease in winding accuracy.

[0061] [Embodiment 2] Next, the support member winding device 172 according to Embodiment 2 will be described with reference to Figure 4. The same reference numerals are used for parts that are the same as in Embodiment 1, and the explanation of their configuration and corresponding effects will be omitted. In this embodiment, the fixing member 28 is configured to be fixed by sandwiching the tip 29 of the long member 2 between the outer peripheral member 25 and the fixing member 28, as the radial length (direction perpendicular to the X-axis) of the second displacement portion 30 is changed, causing the fixing member 28 to be displaced in the radial direction (direction perpendicular to the X-axis) to a position inward from the position where the long member 2 is wrapped around the outer peripheral member 25. That is, the fixing member 28 is configured to be fixed by sandwiching the tip 29 of the long member 2 between the outer surface 35 of the fixing member 28 and the inner surface 36 of the outer peripheral member 25.

[0062] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the outer peripheral member 25 is configured to be in point contact or line contact with the elongated member 2 around which it is wrapped. Here, "point contact or line contact" means that the outer surface 27 of the outer peripheral member 25 is not in contact with the elongated member 2 over its entire surface, but rather that there are parts of the outer surface 27 that are not in contact with the elongated member 2. In other words, the outer surface 27 of the outer peripheral member 25 is formed in an uneven shape including convex and concave portions, with the convex portions in contact with the elongated member 2 and the concave portions not in contact with the elongated member 2. Here, as shown in the enlarged perspective view in Figure 4, the protrusions 37, 37, 37, ... are arranged substantially parallel to the outer surface 27 of the outer peripheral member 25, and are configured to make line contact with the elongated member 2. Furthermore, the configuration of the outer peripheral member 25 in point contact or line contact with the long member 2 by the protrusion 37, etc., may be applied to the outer surface 27 of the outer peripheral member 1 in Embodiment 1, or it may be applied to other embodiments described later. In addition, the outer peripheral member 25 may be configured to be in surface contact with the long member 2 around which it is wrapped, rather than in point contact or line contact.

[0063] <Description of the effects of Embodiment 2> (1) In this embodiment, the fixing member 28 is displaced in the radial direction to a position inward from the position where the elongated member 2 is wrapped around the outer peripheral member 25 by changing its radial position via the second displacement portion 30. The fixing member 28 is configured to fix the tip 29 of the elongated member 1 by sandwiching it between the outer peripheral member 25 and the fixing member 28. That is, the tip 29 of the elongated member 2 is sandwiched and fixed between the outer surface 35 of the fixing member 28 and the inner surface 36 of the outer peripheral member 25. This allows the tip 29 of the elongated member 2 to be fixed and released with a simple structure consisting of a pair of the outer surface 35 of the fixing member 28 and the inner surface 36 of the outer peripheral member 25.

[0064] (2) In this embodiment, the outer peripheral member 25 is configured to be in point contact or line contact with the elongated member 2 around which it is wound. As a result, the contact area of ​​the portion of the elongated member 2 that contacts the outer peripheral member 25 is smaller than that of a surface contact, so the length of the first displacement portion 24 of the outer peripheral member 25 around which the elongated member 2 is wound can be easily changed in a direction that shortens the length of the first displacement portion 24 after the winding of the elongated member 2 is completed, and thus the outer peripheral member 25 can be easily separated from the elongated member 2 (R2) in the wound state.

[0065] [Embodiment 3] Next, the support member winding device 172 according to Embodiment 3 will be described with reference to Figure 5. The same reference numerals are used for parts that are the same as those in Embodiment 1, etc., and the explanation of their configuration and corresponding effects will be omitted. In this embodiment, adjacent outer peripheral members 25, 25, 25 in the circumferential direction (same direction as axis CD) of the shaft member 23 are configured as the first outer peripheral member 251, the second outer peripheral member 252, and the third outer peripheral member 253, respectively. In this embodiment, unlike Embodiment 1, the outer peripheral member 25 is composed of three parts in each region A1, A2, and A3.

[0066] Unlike Embodiment 1, the fixing member 28 is provided on the first outer peripheral member 251. The fixing member 28 is configured to be switchable between a fixed state (State ST2 in Figure 5) in which it contacts the second outer peripheral member 252 to clamp and fix the tip 29 of the long member 2 together with the second outer peripheral member 252, and a released state (State ST1 in Figure 5) in which it separates from the second outer peripheral member 252 to release the fixing of the tip 29 of the long member 2. Here, "contact" in "the fixing member 28 contacts the second outer peripheral member 251..." means that the tip 29 of the long member 2 is sandwiched between the fixing member 28 and the second outer peripheral member 251 and they come into contact.

[0067] In this embodiment, the fixing member 28 is attached to the first outer peripheral member 251 by a hinge or the like, with one end 40 serving as a pivot point 41. The other end 42 of the fixing member 28 is a free end 43 and is configured to rotate, switching between a fixed state (state ST2 in Figure 5) and a released state (state ST1 in Figure 5). Specifically, the tip 29 is fixed by sandwiching it between the side surface 44 of the other end 42 of the fixing member 28 and the side surface 45 of the adjacent second outer peripheral member 252. The rotation of the fixing member 28 to the fixed position (state ST2 in Figure 5) is performed manually here. Alternatively, an electrically operated rotation structure using a solenoid or the like may be used instead of manual rotation.

[0068] <Explanation of the operation of the fixing member in Embodiment 3> (1) With the fixing member 28 in the open state (state ST1 in Figure 5), the tip 29 of the long member 2 is inserted into the area between the side surface 45 of the second outer peripheral member 252 and the fixing member 28. (2) Next, rotate the fixing member 28 so that the tip 29 is sandwiched and fixed between the side surface 44 of the other end 42 of the fixing member 28 and the side surface 45 of the outer peripheral member 252 (state ST2 in Figure 5). (3) Next, the shaft member 23 of the support member winding device 172 is rotated around the axis CD to wind up the long member 2. (4) After winding is complete, first shorten the length of the first displacement portion 24 of the first outer peripheral member 251 to move only the first outer peripheral member 251 toward the shaft member 23. As a result, the fixing member 28 also moves together, so the tip 29 of the long member 2 becomes released. (5) Next, the second outer peripheral member 252 and the third outer peripheral member 252 are moved toward the shaft member 23. This separates the first outer peripheral member 251, the second outer peripheral member 251, and the third outer peripheral member 253 from the inner surface of the roll body R2 (not shown). Finally, the roll body R2 is removed from the support member winding device 172.

[0069] <Explanation of the effects of Embodiment 3> (1) In this embodiment, the fixing member 28 is provided on the first outer peripheral member 251. The fixing member 28 is configured to be switchable between a fixed state (state ST2 in Figure 5) in which it contacts the second outer peripheral member 252 to clamp and fix the tip 29 of the long member 2 together with the second outer peripheral member 252, and a released state (state ST1 in Figure 5) in which it separates from the second outer peripheral member 252 to release the fixing of the tip 29 of the long member 2. This allows the fixing state and the release state of the tip 29 of the elongated member 2 to be switched by a simple structure that switches the fixing member 28 provided on the first outer peripheral member 251 between a state in contact with the second outer peripheral member 252 and a state in which it is separated. Thus, the tip 29 of the elongated member 2 can be fixed and released.

[0070] (2) In this embodiment, the fixing member 28 is attached to the first outer peripheral member 251 with one end 40 serving as a pivot point 41. Furthermore, the fixing member 28 is configured such that the fixed state and the released state can be switched by the other end 42 serving as a free end 43 and rotating. This allows the tip 29 of the long member 2 to be fixed and released with a simple structure in which the fixing member 28 is rotated with one end 40 as the pivot point 41.

[0071] [Embodiment 4] Next, the support member winding device 172 according to Embodiment 4 will be described with reference to Figure 6. The same reference numerals are used for parts that are the same as those in Embodiment 1, etc., and the explanation of their configuration and corresponding effects will be omitted. In this embodiment, one end 46 of the fixing member 28 is attached to the inner surface 47 of the first outer peripheral member 251. The other end 48 of the fixing member 28 has a facing portion 50 that faces the inner surface 49 of the second outer peripheral member 252. With the length of the first displacement portion 24 to which the second outer periphery portion 252 is attached extended in the radial direction (direction perpendicular to the X-axis) (State ST1 in Figure 6), the length of the first displacement portion 24 to which the first outer periphery portion 251 is attached is extended in the radial direction (direction perpendicular to the X-axis) to bring the opposing portion 50 closer to the inner surface 49 of the second outer periphery member 252, thereby switching from a released state (State ST1 in Figure 6) to a fixed state (State ST2 in Figure 6) relative to the tip 29 of the elongated member 2.

[0072] In state ST2 of Figure 6, the shaft member 23 of the support member winding device 172 is rotated around the axis CD, causing the long member 2 to be wound up and creating a roll body R2 (not shown). Next, first, only the first outer peripheral member 251 is moved toward the shaft member 23. This switches the tip 29 of the long member 2 from a fixed state (state ST2 in Figure 6) to a released state (state ST1 in Figure 6). Next, the second outer peripheral member 252 and the third outer peripheral member 253 are moved toward the shaft member 23. This separates the first outer peripheral member 251, the second outer peripheral member 251, and the third outer peripheral member 253 from the inner surface of the roll body R2, allowing the roll body R2 to be removed from the support member winding device 172.

[0073] In this embodiment, the fixing member 28 has one end 46 attached to the first outer peripheral member 251, and the other end 48 has a facing portion 50 that faces the inner surface 49 of the second outer peripheral member 252. The configuration is such that the release state is switched to the fixed state by extending the radial length of the first displacement portion 24 to which the second outer peripheral member 252 is attached, extending the radial length of the first displacement portion 24 to which the first outer peripheral member 251 is attached, and bringing the facing portion 50 closer to the inner surface 49 of the second outer peripheral member 252. This allows the tip 29 of the long member 2 to be switched from the open state to the fixed state with respect to it by a simple structure in which the opposing portion 50 of the fixing member 28 is displaced by the first displacement portion 24 so as to contact the inner surface 49 of the second outer peripheral member 252.

[0074] [Embodiment 5] Next, the support member winding device 172 according to Embodiment 5 will be described with reference to Figure 7. The same reference numerals are used for parts that are the same as those in Embodiment 1, etc., and the explanation of their configuration and corresponding effects will be omitted. In this embodiment, the shaft member 23 is positioned between a plurality of first displacement parts 24, 24, 24, ... in the circumferential direction (same direction as the axis CD), with one end 51 attached to the shaft member 23 and the other end 52 attached to the fixing member 28, and includes a second displacement part 30 that can change the length of the shaft member 23 in the radial direction (direction perpendicular to the X axis). The fixing member 28 is configured such that the length of the second displacement part 30 in the radial direction (direction perpendicular to the X axis) is changed to bring it closer to the shaft member 23, thereby sandwiching and fixing the tip 29 of the elongated member 2 in conjunction with the shaft member 23. Specifically, the tip 29 of the elongated member 2 is sandwiched and fixed between the outer surface 55 of the shaft member 23 and the fixing member 28. The solid member 28 is configured to be displaced by the first displacement unit 24 between a position 53 at maximum diameter and a position 54 at minimum diameter. That is, the solid member 28 winds up the long member 2 at position 53 and displaces to position 54, thereby separating from the inner surface of the roll body R2 (not shown).

[0075] Furthermore, in this embodiment, similar to Embodiment 2, the outer peripheral member 25 is configured to be in point contact or line contact with the elongated member 2 around which it is wrapped. The explanation of "point contact or line contact" is the same as in Embodiment 2, so that explanation is omitted here.

[0076] <Description of the operation of Embodiment 5> Next, the operation of Embodiment 5 will be explained using Figure 7. (1) With the support member winding device 172 in state ST1 as shown in Figure 7, the tip 29 of the long member 2, i.e., the tip 29 of the support member 8, is positioned in the region between the fixing member 28 and the shaft member 23. (2) Next, the length of the second displacement part 30 is shortened to displace the fixing member 28 in a direction that brings it closer to the shaft member 23 (state ST2). As a result, the tip 29 of the long member 2 is sandwiched between the fixing member 28 and the outer surface 55 of the shaft member 23 and fixed, becoming fixed. (3) Next, the shaft member 23 of the support member winding device 172 is rotated around the axis CD. Due to this rotation, the long member 2 is wound up in contact with the outer surfaces 27,27,27,... of each outer peripheral member 25,25,25,... and becomes a roll body R2 (states ST3, ST4). (4) Next, the length of the second displacement portion 30 is increased to move the fixing member 28 away from the outer surface 55 of the shaft member 23, and the fixed state of the tip 29 is switched to the released state (state ST4). (5) Next, the length of each first displacement section 24 is shortened, and each outer peripheral member 25 is pulled back toward the shaft member 23. As a result, each outer peripheral member 25, 25, 25, ... of the support member winding device 172 separates from the inner surface of the roll body R2 (state ST5). Finally, the roll body R2 is removed from the support member winding device 172 (state ST6).

[0077] <Explanation of the effects of Embodiment 5> In this embodiment, the second displacement portion 30 is positioned between a plurality of first displacement portions 24 in the circumferential direction of the shaft member 23. One end 51 of the second displacement portion 30 is attached to the shaft member 23, and the radial length of the shaft member 23 can be changed. The fixing member 28 is attached to the other end 52 of the second displacement portion 24. The fixing member 28 is configured such that the radial length of the second displacement portion 30 is changed to move closer to the shaft member 23, thereby sandwiching and fixing the tip 29 of the elongated member 2 between itself and the outer surface 55 of the shaft member 23. The fixing member 28 is configured such that the radial length of the second displacement portion 30 is changed to move away from the outer surface 55 of the shaft member 23, thereby releasing the tip 29 of the elongated member 2. This allows the tip of the long member to be fixed and released with a simple structure consisting of a fixing member 28 and a shaft member 23.

[0078] [Embodiment 6] Next, the support member winding device 172 according to Embodiment 6 will be described with reference to Figure 8. The same reference numerals are used for parts that are the same as those in Embodiment 1, etc., and the explanation of their configuration and corresponding effects will be omitted. In this embodiment, unlike in embodiment 5, the fixing member 28 is provided on the outer surface 55 of the shaft member 23. The fixing member 28 is configured to be switchable between a fixed state (state ST2 in Figure 8) in which it moves to a position where it clamps the tip 29 of the elongated member 2 together with the shaft member 23 and fixes it, and a released state (state ST1 in Figure 8) in which it moves away from the clamping position and releases the fixing of the tip 29 of the elongated member 2.

[0079] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the fixing member 28 is attached to the outer surface 55 of the shaft member 23 by a hinge or the like, with one end 56 serving as a pivot point 57. The other end 58 of the fixing member 28 rotates as a free end 59, switching between a fixed state (state ST2 in Figure 8) in which the tip 29 is sandwiched and fixed between the outer surface 55 of the shaft member 23 and the fixing member 28, and a released state (ST1 in Figure 8) in which it rotates in the opposite direction to release the tip 29. The rotation of the fixing member 28 to the fixed position (state ST2 in Figure 8) is performed manually here. Alternatively, an electrically operated rotation structure using a solenoid or the like may be used instead of manual rotation.

[0080] <Description of the effects of Embodiment 6> (1) In this embodiment, the fixing member 28 is configured to be switchable between a fixed state (state ST2 in Figure 8) in which it moves to a position where it clamps the tip 29 of the long member 2 together with the shaft member 23 and fixes it, and a released state (state ST1 in Figure 8) in which it moves from the clamping position and releases the fixing of the tip 29 of the long member 2. This allows the tip 29 of the elongated member 2 to be fixed and released by moving the fixing member 28 to the clamping position and moving it away from the clamping position.

[0081] (2) In this embodiment, the fixing member 28 is attached to the shaft member 23 with one end 56 serving as a pivot point 57. Furthermore, the fixing member 28 is configured to switch between the fixed state and the released state by rotating the other end 58 as a free end 59. This allows the tip 29 of the long member 2 to be fixed and released with a simple structure in which the fixing member 28 is rotated with one end 56 as the pivot point 57.

[0082] [Embodiment 7] Next, the support member winding device 172 according to Embodiment 7 will be described with reference to Figure 9. The same reference numerals are used for parts that are the same as those in Embodiment 1, etc., and the explanation of their configuration and corresponding effects will be omitted. In this embodiment, unlike embodiment 6, the shaft member 23 is provided with a recess 60 into which the fixing member 28 can be detachably fitted. The fixing member 28 is configured to switch between a fixed state (state ST2 in Figure 9) in which it moves to a position where it fits into the recess 60 and is fixed, and a released state (state ST1 in Figure 9) in which it moves away from the position where it fits, releasing the fixing of the tip 29 of the elongated member 2.

[0083] When the fixing member 28 is in the released state (state ST1 in Figure 9), it is locked to a locking portion (not shown) on the outer surface 55 of the shaft member 23. The movement of the fixing member 28 between the fixed state (state ST2 in Figure 9) and the released state (state ST1 in Figure 9) is performed manually here. However, instead of manual movement, an electrically operated movement structure using a solenoid or the like may also be used.

[0084] In this embodiment, the fixing member 28 is configured to switch between a fixed state (state ST2 in Figure 9) in which it moves to a position where it fits into the recess 60 and is fixed, and a released state (state ST1 in Figure 9) in which it moves from the fitting position and releases the fixing of the tip 29 of the long member 2. This allows the tip 29 of the elongated member 2 to be fixed and released by moving the fixing member 28 to a position where it fits into the recess 60, and by moving it in a direction away from the fitting position.

[0085] [Other embodiments] The winding device 17 and recording device 1 according to the present invention are based on having the configuration of the embodiments described above, but it is of course possible to make partial changes or omissions to the configuration without departing from the spirit of the present invention. (1) In the above embodiments, the present invention has been described in which it is applied to one of the support member winding devices 172 of the winding device 17, but it may also be applied to the other fabric winding device 171, or to both. (2) In the above embodiments, the outer peripheral member 25 and the fixing member 28 were described as being arranged in multiple regions in the axial direction (X-axis direction) of the shaft member 23, but the structure is not limited to this. That is, the outer peripheral member 25 and the fixing member 28 may be a single structure arranged in a single region, rather than a divided structure in which they are divided and arranged in multiple regions. (3) In each of the above embodiments, the outer peripheral member 25 and the fixing member 28 are arranged in multiple regions in the axial direction (X-axis direction) of the shaft member 23, and the outer peripheral member 25 arranged in the first region A1 and the outer peripheral member 25 arranged in the second region A2 are arranged in a staggered manner so as not to overlap in the circumferential direction (same direction as the axis CD) of the shaft member 23. However, it is of course not limited to this staggered arrangement, and the outer peripheral member 25 arranged in the first region A1 and the outer peripheral member 25 arranged in the second region A2 may be arranged at the same position in the circumferential direction (same direction as the axis CD) of the shaft member 23. By arranging them at the same position, the fixing position 71 and the fixing position 72 are at the same position in the circumferential direction, so the work of clamping and fixing the tip 29 of the long member 2 with the fixing member 28 becomes easier as the above-mentioned notching and cutting process is not required.
