Each of the feed units comprises a magazine having at a front end thereof a forward outlet opposed to the corresponding mandrel wheel from behind for accommodating a multiplicity of blanks B as closely arranged side by side from the front end rearward, the blanks B being folded flat so as to be unfoldable to a tubular form of square to rectangular cross section, means for taking out the blanks B in the magazine successively one by one from the foremost position through the outlet while unfolding the blank to the tubular form, and means for transporting the taken-out tubular blank B to the corresponding mandrel wheel. The magazines of the rights and left feed units are so arranged that the center lines R and L of the magazines with respect to the width thereof extend away from each other rearward approximately in a V-form when seen from above. <IMAGE>
