An opening and closing mechanism (20) opens and closes the pair of opening and closing members (11, 12) between an open position and a closed position at which the end sections are joined together. A pair of guide rollers (31) is provided to one (11) of the opening and closing members and guides the end sections of the rubber member to a joining position. A pressing roller (32) is provided to the other opening and closing member (12) and presses the end sections against the guide roller (31). A pair of joining rollers (40) is provided to the pair of opening and closing members (11, 12), respectively, and grips the end sections guided by the pair of guide rollers (31). The joining rollers (40) roll on the facing end sections of the rubber member and join the end sections together while the end sections are abutted against each other.
