Abstract
A continuous delivery apparatus for continuously feeding a lengthy work material wound into an approximately ring-like form to a press or the like. This apparatus comprises a rotatable turn-table on which wound material is placed so that an axis of the material is crossed perpendicular to the turn-table, a motor for rotating and driving the turn-table, and a swing arm, one end of which is supported on a rotating shaft whereas the other end thereof is pivotable from a center of the wound work material to an outer peripheral direction, said swing arm being always biased in an outer peripheral direction. The swing arm which is pivotally moved with a change in wound amount of work material is removed as an amount of rotation of the rotating shaft, said amount of rotation controlling the rotational speed of a motor to deliver work material at a constant speed at all times.
