ABSTRACT:
Several pairs of ink sheet reels are mounted on an ink sheet stock assembly. The supporting axis of a sheet take-up reel of a pair of ink sheet reels is grasped by an axis clutch of a sheet transfer assembly, and the sheet transfer assembly is placed at the remote end from the ink sheet stock assembly, outstretching the ink sheet between the stock reel and the take-up reel pair. When a new ink sheet is to be used, the sheet transfer assembly comes to a position nearest to the ink sheet stock assembly. This position is the transfer position where an empty axis clutch for sheet take-up reel of the ink sheet stock assembly takes the sheet take-up reel from the axis clutch of the sheet transfer assembly. A new pair of ink sheet reels comes down to this position, hokding a new sheet take-up reel. The axis clutch of the sheet transfer assembly takes the new sheet take-up reel and recedes in a horizontal direction outstreching a new ink sheet.
