Even if the size and configuration of the free roller 11 itself are not changed, the position of receiving air can be adjusted depending on the projecting dimension of the convex portion 18. For this reason, the degree of freedom of arrangement of the nozzle 19 is increased. In addition, the larger the projecting dimension of the convex portion 18, the larger the moment obtained when the air jet is applied.

Therefore, by blowing an air jet against the receiving portions 16 provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the support shaft 15, an equivalent rotation assisting force f acts on all the free roller main bodies 14, and the glass film 1 is supported. Thus, all the free roller bodies 14 can be rotated synchronously.
- the outer diameter dimension of each free roller body 14 is varied depending on the position in the longitudinal direction. This is based on the relationship between the width direction dimension and the thickness dimension of the actual glass film 1, as shown in FIG. 11, assuming a situation in which the glass film 1 is bent by its own weight along the width direction, Considering that the glass film 1 is deformed so as to hang down from the center in the width direction toward both sides in the width direction (left and right sides in FIG. 11), the outer diameter dimension of the free roller body 14 is relatively set toward the center in the width direction.
- the outer diameter dimension of the free roller main body 14 is set to be relatively small as it goes to the outer side in the width direction.
- each free roller main body 14 is rotatable with respect to the support shaft 15 (the support shaft 15 may be fixed to a frame (not shown)).
- the support shaft 15 may be fixed to a frame (not shown)
- each free roller body 14 is rotated at the number of rotations according to the outer diameter so that the glass film 1 is not idle. All the free roller bodies 14 can be rotated in synchronization with the glass film 1.
- the receiving portion 16 is attached to the side surface of each free roller main body 14, and each free roller main body 14 and the receiving portion 16 are rotatably supported with respect to the support shaft 15. 14 can be provided with a rotation assisting force f by a jet of air. Therefore, even when the free roller 11 having the above-described configuration is actually used, variation in rotational resistance between the free roller main body 14 and the free roller 11 is minimized to synchronize all the free rollers 11 as much as possible. Can be rotated. As shown in FIG. 10, even if all the free roller bodies 14 have the same outer diameter, as shown in FIG. 11, the receiving portions 16 are attached to the side surfaces of the free roller bodies 14, Each free roller main body 14 and the receiving portion 16 may be configured to be rotatably supported with respect to the support shaft 15.
- the direction of the nozzle 19 is set so as to discharge air along the circumferential speed direction (tangential direction to the outer peripheral surface) of the receiving portion 16.
- the discharge direction of air may be changed as appropriate according to the form of the portion 16.
- control other than the above for example, changing to three or more steps, maintaining a constant size during the discharge period, etc. may be adopted.
- the jet of air may be blown only for the period just before the start of rotation or only after the start of the rotation.
- the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.
- a mode in which the rotation assist force f is applied to the free roller 11 by directly applying a fluid flow to the outer peripheral surface of the free roller body 14 is also included in the present invention.
- the main conveyance force F was provided to the glass film 1 by rotating the winding core 6 of one glass roll 5
- the conveyance force F it is also possible to dispose a belt conveyor such as a vacuum suction method.
- a similar belt conveyor can be arranged between the cleaning process 2, the drying process 3, and the charge removal process 4.
- the present invention can also be applied to a production line having a process.
- the neutralization process 4 may be omitted, and the present invention may be applied to a production line in which a surface treatment process such as end face etching is provided after the cleaning process (on the downstream side) instead. It is also possible to apply the present invention to a production line provided with a further cleaning step (also referred to as a rinsing step) after the processing step.
- work work other than a glass film, for example, the sheet-fed glass substrate cut out from strip
