1. A chip supply pallet for mounting a wafer sheet pasted with a semiconductor wafer formed into individual pieces of a plurality of chips to a chip supply apparatus in a state of being exerted with a tension, the chip supply pallet comprising: a first member having a tension ring brought into contact with the wafer sheet from a lower side of the wafer sheet and a fixing member of fixing a ring frame holding the wafer sheet on an inner side of the ring frame on a lower side of the wafer sheet brought into contact with the tension ring; anda second member configured with side portions to mount inside a magazine and having a fixed portion for fixing to a predetermined position of the chip supply apparatus and a held portion of being held when the chip supply pallet is removed from the magazine by the chip supply apparatus; anda restricting unit for restricting a relative rotational displacement of the first member and the second member and a restriction releasing unit for releasing the restricting unit;wherein the first member is configured to be able to rotationally displace relative to the second member fixed to the predetermined position of the chip supply apparatus,wherein the fixing member is rotatable from a fixing position of fixing the ring frame and a releasing position of not interfering with the ring frame for attaching and detaching the ring frame, andwherein the fixing member has an inclined face which is directly in contact with the ring frame to push down the ring frame when the fixing member is in the fixing position; andwherein the chip supply apparatus comprises:a first table which supports a board which is prepared for mounting thereon a chip from a chip supply pallet by a transfer head;a second table which is movable horizontally along a Y direction of being proximate to and remote from the first tablea third table which is movable horizontally along an X direction of being proximate to and remote from an opened side face of the magazine which contains the chip supply pallet, comprising:a pallet holding portion which holds the held portion of the chip supply pallet contained in the magazine and which horizontally moves the chip supply pallet along the X direction, thereby taking the chip supply pallet out of the magazine;a rotation actuator which axially supports and turns the pallet holding portion by 180 degrees after the chip supply pallet is completely pulled out of the magazine,a pallet fixing portion which is arranged to oppose the pallet holding portion and the rotation actuator across an opening formed at a center of the third table such that the chip supply pallet is held from both sides fixing the chip supply pallet on the third table. 2. A chip supply apparatus mounted with the chip supply pallet according to claim 1 and supplying a chip exfoliated from a wafer sheet to a supply object; wherein the chip supply pallet is configured by a first member of holding the wafer sheet in a state of exerting a tension thereto and a second member made to be able to rotationally displace relative to the first member, the chip supply apparatus comprising:a chip confirming unit for confirming a direction of the chip pasted to the wafer sheet, and a pallet rotational drive force providing unit for providing a rotational drive force to the first member. 3. The chip supply apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the pallet rotational drive force providing unit comprises a main gear brought in mesh with a driven gear provided at the second member, and the main gear and the driven gear are brought in mesh with each other in mounting the chip supply pallet. 4. The chip supply apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the pallet fixing portion is moved by a straight moving actuator along the X direction such that the chip supply pallet is held from both sides in the X direction. 5. A chip supply apparatus comprising: a first table which supports a board which is prepared for mounting thereon a chip from a chip supply pallet by a transfer head;a second table which is movable horizontally along a Y direction of being proximate to and remote from the first table; anda third table which is movable horizontally along an X direction of being proximate to and remote from an opened side face of a magazine which contains the chip supply pallet,wherein the chip supply pallet mounts a wafer sheet pasted with a semiconductor wafer formed into individual pieces of a plurality of chips to the third table in a state of being exerted with a tension,wherein the chip supply pallet comprises:a first member comprising a tension ring brought into contact with the wafer sheet from a lower side of the wafer sheet and a fixing member of fixing a ring frame holding the wafer sheet on an inner side of the ring frame on a lower side of the wafer sheet brought into contact with the tension ring; anda second member comprising a fixed portion for fixing to a predetermined position of the third table and a held portion of being held when the chip supply pallet is transferred,wherein the first member is configured to be able to rotationally displace relative to the second member fixed to the predetermined position of the third table, andwherein the third table comprises:a pallet holding portion which holds the held portion of the chip supply pallet contained in the magazine and which horizontally moves the chip supply pallet along the X direction, thereby taking the chip supply pallet out from the magazine;a rotation actuator which turns the pallet holding portion by 180 degrees after the chip supply pallet is completely pulled out from the magazine; anda pallet fixing portion which is arranged to oppose the pallet holding portion and the rotation actuator across an opening formed at a center of the third table and which is moved by a straight moving actuator along the X direction such that the chip supply pallet is held from both sides in the X direction by the pallet fixing portion and the pallet holding portion, thereby fixing the chip supply pallet on the third table,wherein the pallet holding portion is axially supported by the rotation actuator to be horizontally turnable by 180 degrees. 6. The chip supply apparatus according to claim 5, further comprising a restricting unit for restricting a relative rotational displacement of the first member and the second member. 7. The chip supply pallet according to claim 1, wherein the ring frame is pushed down along the inclined face without being secured to the inclined face.
