    (57) A device of this invention includes a plurality of stationary guide rollers (2) and a plurality of movable guide rollers (4) arranged on one side of the stationary guide rollers (2). The movable guide rollers (4) can approach/separate from the stationary guide rollers (2). A strip-like material (A) is extended among the sta­tionary and movable guide rollers (2; 4) in a zigzag manner. When the strip-like material (A) is set, the movable guide rollers (4) are moved to the other side of the stationary guide rollers (2) through gaps between the stationary guide rollers (2). The strip-like material (A) is linearly inserted between the movable guide rollers (4) moved to the other side and the stationary guide rollers (2), and thereafter, the movable guide rollers (4) are returned to the one side of the stationary guide rollers (2).
