Abstract

A first supporting member is mounted detachably to one axial end of a supply reel around which an ink film is wound. The first supporting member has a rotating portion generating a braking force to rotation. A second supporting member is mounted detachably to a second axial end of the supply reel, and rotatably supports the second axial end of the supply reel. A winding reel winds up the ink film guided to it from the supply reel. A third supporting member is mounted detachably to one axial end of the winding reel and is rotated in a predetermined winding direction. A fourth supporting member is mounted detachably to a second axial end of the winding reel and rotatably supports the second axial end of the winding reel. The first and third supporting members are detachably supported by a first side plate, and the second and fourth supporting member and fastened to a second side plate.
