The second clamping means (6) comprises a plurality of press plates (8)(8) arranged side by side in the horizontal direction. An opperating oil chamber (20) of a hydraulic cylinder (19) provided in each press plate (8) is connected in communication to a pressurized oil outlet port (42) and to a pressurized oil inlet port (41) both of which are opened in laterally opposed end surfaces (8b)(8a) of the press plate (8) respectively. The pressurized oil outlet port (42) and the pressurized oil inlet port (41) facing each other of the adjacent press plates (8)( 8) are connected in communication to each other by means of an interconnection pipe ( 23).
