ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for supporting strip material includes a discontinuous conveyor for discontinuously conveying a strip material and a continuous conveyor for continuously conveying the strip material. The strip material passes in a loop between the discontinuous conveyor and the continuous conveyor with the strip material loop varying in size as the discontinuous conveyor discontinuously conveys the strip material and the continuous conveyor continuously conveys the strip material. A conveyor belt mechanism disposed between the discontinuous conveyor and the continuous conveyor is operable to dispose a conveyor belt in a loop underlying the strip material loop. The conveyor belt mechanism is operable to drive the conveyor belt so as to variably change the size of the conveyor belt loop synchronously with the size of the strip material loop such that the looped strip material is continuously supported on the looped conveyor belt as the size of the strip material loop varies in accordance with the discontinuous conveying of the strip material by the discontinuous conveyor and the continuous conveying of the strip material by the continuous conveyor.
