Abstract
A wrapping paper feeding apparatus for a coin wrapping machine in which a wrapping paper is withdrawn and fed to wrapping rollers by feed roller and stacked coins are wrapped by winding the wrapping paper therearound by use of wrapping rollers, the wrapping paper feeding apparatus including a turntable for holding a wrapping paper roll thereon, a motor for rotating the turntable, a blower disposed between the turntable and the feed roller for blowing air toward the wrapping paper fed out from the wrapping paper roll so as to form the wrapping paper with a loop, a sensor for detecting the loop of the wrapping paper, and a controller for causing the motor to stop rotation of the turntable when the sensor detects the loop of the wrapping paper and causing the motor to rotate the turntable when the sensor does not detect the loop of the wrapping paper. In this wrapping paper feeding apparatus, since the loop is formed by air blown from the blower in a desired manner and the wrapping paper can be fed out from the wrapping paper roll so that the tensile force produced in the wrapping paper between the wrapping paper roll and the feed roller becomes substantially zero, slippage between the wrapping paper roll and the feed roller can be prevented.
