The folding means 20 includes a linear motor 22 as a drive device supported by the slider 21A of the linear motor 21 as a drive device, a linear motor 23 as a drive device supported by the output shaft 22A, and a pair thereof. A pair of holding members 24 supported by a slider 23A and having a holding portion 24A supported by a decompression means such as a decompression pump or a vacuum ejector and capable of suction and holding, and a pipe 25B attached to a gas supply means 25A such as a pressurization pump or a turbine. It is provided with a gas spraying means 25 such as a spray pipe or a nozzle that is connected via and blows a gas such as air or gas.

The sticking means 30 includes a linear motion motor 22 shared with the bending means 20.

The support means 40 includes a table 42 that is supported by a slider 41A of a linear motor 41 as a drive device and has a support surface 42A that can be attracted and held by a decompression means (not shown) such as a decompression pump or a vacuum ejector.

The operation of the support manufacturing apparatus EA described above will be described.
First, with respect to the support manufacturing device EA in which each member is arranged at the initial position shown in FIG. 1 (A), the user of the support manufacturing device EA (hereinafter, simply referred to as “user”) is as shown in the figure. After setting the original fabric RS in, a signal for starting automatic operation is input via an operation means such as an operation panel or a personal computer (not shown). Then, the supply means 10 drives the rotary motor 15A and the image forming means 13, and the original fabric RS is fed until the tip of the label LB in the feeding direction is located near the peeling edge 14A of the peeling plate 14, and the label LB is predetermined. The bar code BC is printed at the position to form the image display member LP.

Next, as shown in FIG. 1A, a user or a transport means (not shown) such as an articulated robot or a belt conveyor places a support member SP that supports the support object WK at a predetermined position on the support surface 42A. When placed, the support means 40 drives a decompression means (not shown) to start suction holding of the support member SP on the support surface 42A. The support member SP is formed by a known affixing device such as JP-A-2005-116928 or JP-A-2005-136307, and the support object WK is attached to the adhesive sheet AS constituting the support member SP. It is in a pasted state. After that, the support means 40 drives the linear motor 41, moves the table 42 to the left, and when the table 42 reaches a predetermined position as shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 1 (A), the linear motor 41 Stop driving. Next, the bending means 20 drives the linear motion motor 22, lowers the holding member 24 to bring the holding portion 24A into contact with the right end portion and the left end portion of the image display member LP, and then drives the decompression means (not shown). Then, the holding portion 24A starts sucking and holding the image display member LP. Then, the supply means 10 drives the rotating motor 15A to feed the original fabric RS, and the bending means 20 drives the linear motor 21 to move the holding member 24 to the left according to the feeding speed of the original fabric RS. Let me. At this time, when the image display member LP is peeled from the peeling sheet RL by the peeling edge 14A of the peeling plate 14 and supplied to the left, the tip of the next label LB in the feeding direction is located near the peeling edge 14A of the peeling plate 14. , The supply means 10 stops driving the rotary motor 15A.

Next, as shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 1 (A), when the image display member LP held by the holding member 24 reaches a predetermined position above the gas blowing means 25, the bending means 20 moves to a linear motor. The drive of 21 is stopped. After that, the bending means 20 drives the gas supply means 25A and the linear motor 23, and while the image display member LP is curved upward by the gas spraying from the gas spraying means 25, the curved portion is sandwiched between the pair of holding members 24. And crimp. As a result, as shown in the figure with AA in FIG. 1 (A), the image display member LP was bent and raised in the direction intersecting the sticking portion LP1 and the sticking portion LP1 on the image display member LP. The image display unit LP2 is formed, and the barcode BC is displayed in the left direction intersecting the orthogonal line (upward line) orthogonal to the pasting portion LP1.

Next, after the bending means 20 drives the linear motor 21 and moves the holding member 24 to the left, the sticking means 30 drives the linear motor 22 and lowers the holding member 24, and FIG. 1 (A) ) As shown by the alternate long and short dash line on the left side of the center, the image display member LP is pressed against the ring frame RF by the holding member 24 and attached. As a result, the support ES in which the image display member LP is attached to the support member SP is formed, and the integrated object UP in which the support object WK is supported by the support ES is formed. Then, after the bending means 20 stops driving the decompression means (not shown) and the holding portion 24A releases the suction holding of the image display member LP, the bending means 20 and the sticking means 30 are linear motors 21, 23 and direct. The dynamic motor 22 is driven to return the holding member 24 to the initial position. Next, after the support means 40 stops driving the decompression means (not shown) and releases the suction holding of the support member SP on the support surface 42A, the user or the transport means (not shown) transports the integral UP, and FIG. As shown in B), it is accommodated in the accommodating means 50 such as a cassette having an opening 51. The one-piece UP housed in the accommodating means 50 is read from the outside of the opening 51 by a reading means 60 such as a bar code reader or an imaging device, and is processed according to the information acquired from the bar code BC. NS. At this time, since the image display unit LP2 is bent with respect to the sticking portion LP1, the barcode BC can be easily read even if the depression angle of the support member SP with respect to the support surface SP1 is small. After that, the support means 40 drives the linear motor 41 to return the table 42 to the initial position, and thereafter, the same operation as described above is repeated.

According to the above embodiment, the image display member LP constituting the support ES includes a sticking portion LP1 attached to the support member SP and an image display portion LP2 bent with respect to the sticking portion LP1. Therefore, even if the depression angle of the support member SP with respect to the support surface SP1 is small, the barcode BC can be easily read.
