された構成となっている。The present invention is characterized by a rotatable support structure at the front of the drum 10. That is, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, a pair of synthetic resin pulleys 23 are provided on both sides of the front upper part in the machine casing 1 such that the rotation axis directions of the pulleys 23 are front and rear. Is provided so as to be axially supported by each of the pulley shafts 25 attached to the pulley shaft 25.
Are formed. An endless belt 24 made of synthetic rubber is locked in each of the pulleys 23 and the belt groove 27, and the front opening edge portion 30 of the drum 10 is rotatably supported.

安定して行われる。In the supporting structure, the front opening edge portion 30 of the drum 10 is suspended from the endless belt 24, and tension is exerted on the endless belt 24 due to the weight of the drum 10 being applied to the entire opening edge portion. 30 is an endless belt 2
4 is stably supported in the vertical direction, and the endless belt 24 is positioned in the belt groove 27 so that it is also stably supported in the front-back direction. Further, since the endless belt 24 rotates integrally with the drum 10 when the drum 10 rotates, neither of them slidably contact with each other and a sliding contact noise is not generated. Further, some vibrations generated during the rotation of the drum 10 are absorbed by the endless belt 24, whereby the rotating operation of the drum 10 and the endless belt 24 is stably performed.

ドラム１０と一体に回転する構成が得られる。FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the rotatable support structure for the front portion of the drum 10. In this embodiment, three pulleys 23 are used to support the drum 10. According to the configuration using three pulleys 23 as described above, the gravity applied from the drum 10 side causes the pulleys 23 to have three gravities.
And the supporting structure is stabilized and the bending angle of the endless belts 24 on the pulleys 23 located on both sides is relaxed, the pulleys 23 rotate more smoothly and the belt shift is prevented, and the endless belt 24 is A configuration in which the drum 10 is always rotated integrally with the drum 10 is obtained.

で摺接音等の騒音が発生する恐れがないものである。According to the present invention, since the endless belt and the front opening edge of the drum are in stable contact with each other over a wide area due to the weight of the drum, a stable support structure can be obtained and the drum is engaged with the endless belt. Since it is stopped, dimensional accuracy and assembly accuracy are not required to be so high, and productivity is improved.Furthermore, when the drum rotates, the belt also rotates and the two do not slide, so noise such as sliding contact noise may occur. There is no such thing.
