Abstract
A method and an apparatus for sticking a belt-like member, wherein a belt-like member prepared by cutting a raw material of the belt-like member on a conveyor at two front and rear locations, is conveyed by the conveyor, wrapped around a cylindrical drum and stuck to the drum. The inclination angle of the cut line at the leading end of the belt-like member is measured at the time of cutting, the inclination angle of the cut line at the trailing end is measured at the time of cutting, and by comparing the inclination of the cut line at the trailing end with the inclination angle at the leading end, an amount of correction for the inclination angle is calculated. After cutting at the trailing end, the trailing end portion is attracted and held by an attracting device, and by rotating this attracting device on the basis of the aforementioned amount of correction for the inclination angle, the inclination angle of the cut line at the trailing end is corrected so as to coincide with the inclination angle of the cut line at the leading end. While maintaining this corrected condition, the belt-like member is wrapped around the cylindrical drum and stuck to the drum. The belt-like member after completion of wrapping has its leading end edge and its trailing end edge surly coincide with each other, and a step-shaped deviation or the like would not arise.
