Claims
- 1. A carrying method of carrying a flexible member to be carried by carrying means including guide rolls, comprising the steps of:
causing a recoverable deformation by deforming said flexible member in a widthwise direction; and correcting said flexible member by stretching the recoverable deformation thereof by a first guide roll disposed downstream of said carrying means, and carrying said flexible member in a flattened state.
- 2. A carrying method of carrying a flexible member to be carried by carrying means including guide rolls, comprising the steps of:
causing a recoverable deformation so that a tension at both of edges of said flexible member in a widthwise direction is larger than a tension at a central portion; and correcting said flexible member by stretching the recoverable deformation thereof by a first guide roll disposed downstream of said carrying means, and carrying said flexible member in a flattened state.
- 3. A carrying method of carrying a flexible member to be carried by carrying means including guide rolls, comprising the steps of:
causing a recoverable deformation so that a traveling path at both of edges of said flexible member in a widthwise direction is longer than a traveling path at a central portion; and correcting said flexible member by stretching the recoverable deformation thereof by a first guide roll disposed downstream of said carrying means, and carrying said flexible member in a flattened state.
- 4. A carrying method according to claim 1, wherein the recoverable deformation is caused by deforming said flexible member in such a direction as to narrow down a width thereof.
- 5. A carrying method according to claim 1, wherein the recoverable deformation is caused by pushing up or down the edges of said flexible member in the vicinities of the two edges of said flexible member.
- 6. A carrying method according to claim 1, wherein a second guide roll is disposed upstream of said first guide roll, and
the recoverable deformation is caused between said first guide roll and said second guide roll.
- 7. A carrying method according to claim 1, wherein said flexible member is carried so as to be wound over a predetermined range on a peripheral surface of said first guide roll.
- 8. A carrying apparatus for carrying a flexible member to be carried by carrying means including guide rolls, comprising:
deforming means for causing a recoverable deformation by deforming said flexible member in a widthwise direction; and a first guide roll disposed downstream of said deforming means, wherein said flexible member is corrected by stretching the recoverable deformation thereof by said first guide roll, and is carried in a flattened state.
- 9. A carrying apparatus according to claim 8 wherein said deforming means causes the recoverable deformation by deforming said flexible member in such a direction as to narrow down a width thereof.
- 10. A carrying apparatus according to claim 8, wherein said deforming means causes the recoverable deformation by pushing up or down the edges of said flexible member in the vicinities of the two edges of said flexible member.
- 11. A carrying apparatus according to claim 8 wherein a second guide roll is disposed upstream of said first guide roll, and
said deforming means is disposed in a carrying section between said first guide roll and said second guide roll.
- 12. A carrying apparatus according to claim 8, wherein said flexible member is carried so as to be wound over a predetermined range on a peripheral surface of said first guide roll.
- 13. A carrying apparatus according to claim 8 comprising:
a coating liquid by coating means disposed downstream of a first guide roll while carrying said flexible member as said flexible support member by said carrying method.
- 14. A carrying apparatus according to claim 13, wherein a third guide roll is disposed downstream of said coating means, and
said coating means coats the coating liquid over said flexible support member in a state of applying a predetermined tension by an extrusion coating method between said first guide roll and said third guide roll.
- 15. A coating material manufacturing method of manufacturing a coating material by coating the coating liquid over said flexible support member by said coating method according to claim 13.
- 16. A carrying method according to claim 2, wherein the recoverable deformation is caused by deforming said flexible member in such a direction as to narrow down a width thereof.
- 17. A carrying method according to claim 2, wherein the recoverable deformation is caused by pushing up or down the edges of said flexible member in the vicinities of the two edges of said flexible member.
- 18. A carrying method according to claim 2, wherein a second guide roll is disposed upstream of said first guide roll, and
the recoverable deformation is caused between said first guide roll and said second guide roll.
- 19. A carrying method according to claim 2, wherein said flexible member is carried so as to be wound over a predetermined range on a peripheral surface of said first guide roll.
- 20. A carrying method according to claim 3, wherein the recoverable deformation is caused by deforming said flexible member in such a direction as to narrow down a width thereof.
- 21. A carrying method according to claim 3, wherein the recoverable deformation is caused by pushing up or down the edges of said flexible member in the vicinities of the two edges of said flexible member.
- 22. A carrying method according to claim 3, wherein a second guide roll is disposed upstream of said first guide roll, and
the recoverable deformation is caused between said first guide roll and said second guide roll.
- 23. A carrying method according to claim 3, wherein said flexible member is carried so as to be wound over a predetermined range on a peripheral surface of said first guide roll.
