(54) Continuous sheet processing apparatus and continuous sheet processing method


(57) The present invention provides a continuous sheet processing apparatus, in which a roll body can be easily set in a roll body accommodating portion, capable of stably transporting a continuous sheet drawn out from the roll body without causing irregular movements such as lifting up of the roll body.
A processing portion (3) is arranged in a position above and on a lateral side (right side in the drawing) of a roll body accommodating portion (2), and an engagement portion (11a) of a guide plate (11), which is positioned between the roll body accommodating portion (2) and the processing portion (3), engaging with a continuous sheet (1) is positioned while being biased to an opposite side (left side in the drawing) to the processing portion (3) with respect to a position directly above a central axis of a roll body (1a), or preferably to an opposite side (left side in thedrawing)to theprocessingportion (3) withrespecttoan outermost end of the roll body (1a) . The engagement portion (11a) of the guide plate (11) engages with the continuous sheet (1), thereby allowing the continuous sheet (1) to be once guided to the opposite side (left side in the drawing) of the processing portion (3) with respect to straight lines (L1) and (L2) each connecting a drawing out portion of the roll body (1a) and the processing portion (3) to then be guided to the processing portion (3).
