Abstract

A method of taking up the ribbon, which flies from a quickly cooling roll, directly on a drum. There are connected in the recited order a guide tube fixed in the vicinity of the roll and in a tangential direction, a movable suction tube, a flexible hose and suction means. The drum is given a self-adhesive layer on its outer circumference and is movably disposed in the vicinity of the connection between the guide tube and the suction tube. While the suction tube is communicating with the guide tube, the ribbon is caused to pass through the guide tube, the suction tube and the hose. The suction tube is moved apart from the guide tube to expose the ribbon to the outside. The drum rotated in the same direction as that of the roll is moved to come into contact with the exposed ribbon. The suction tube is then moved so that the exposed ribbon passing to the suction tube may be wound on the drum.
