Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a method for producing a continuous band-shaped sheet material on which a pattern, a character, a graphic, or the like is continuously applied, in a state where the sheet material is continuously supplied. The present invention relates to a continuous sheet sticking apparatus and a sheet sending method for continuous sheet sticking to a continuous band-shaped sheet material for sticking leaves at continuous and accurate positions, and a sheet sending mechanism.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, a device for sticking a paper sheet to a continuous belt-shaped sheet, particularly a device for sticking a thin postcard to a continuous belt-shaped sheet provided with a pattern, a character, a graphic, etc., has been provided to various markets. However, most of them are the same type.

The device, the basic method, for example, like a sheet sticking device 31 shown in FIG. 4, a pattern, characters, a sheet material S drawn out from a roll-shaped continuous belt-shaped sheet 32 on which a graphic is applied, Pull out the double-sided adhesive tape 33 wound in a roll and run it in parallel.
The sheet P is attached to the back of the sheet material, and the release paper 34 is removed from the double-sided tape 33 so that the sheet P can be attached to the back of the sheet material. The paper sheet P is attached to the back surface of the sheet material S by pressing the sheet material S so as to sandwich the sheet material S with the table 35. Then, at that time, the sheet material S
When the sheet is continuously pulled out and transferred, a positional deviation often occurs when the sheet P is attached. Therefore, the transfer of the sheet material S is performed intermittently, and when the transfer of the sheet material S is stopped. At the same time, the sheet P is attached to the sheet S by synchronizing the sheet P so as to be pressed against the back surface of the sheet S.

As a typical device, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-7085
Publication No. 8 discloses an apparatus for manufacturing a postcard print.

In addition, instead of a double-sided adhesive tape, a water-soluble adhesive is applied and paper sheets are stuck together.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, in the case of the device 31 formed as described above,
Since the transfer of the sheet material S is performed intermittently and the paper sheet P is tuned so as to be pressed against the back surface of the sheet material S when the transfer of the sheet material S is stopped, the paper sheet P is attached to the sheet material S. However, since the stopping speed of the sheet material S is repeated, the sticking speed is extremely slow, which is a serious problem. However, as described above, if the sheet material S is continuously transferred, the sticking position shift occurs frequently and the defective product is defective. Production can not be suppressed and mass production speed can be increased to some extent,
No further increase in mass production rate could be expected, and no further development was undertaken in this type of industry.

Further, since the double-sided adhesive tape is used for attaching the paper sheet, there is also a problem that the price is increased.

Further, when a water-soluble adhesive was used instead of the double-sided adhesive tape, before and after the application of the paper sheet, drying was performed to remove the solvent of the adhesive, and the paper sheet was attached by the drying. The continuous belt-shaped sheet material curls or
There has been a problem that defective products such as peeling of the cured adhesive occur.

In view of the above-described problems and the like, the present invention provides a method of continuously supplying a continuous strip-shaped sheet material on which a pattern, a character, a graphic, or the like is applied, and continuously and appropriately applying the sheet to the sheet material.

The continuous belt-shaped sheet material is sent from the sheet material supply unit and continuously supplied, and an adhesive is applied to the fed continuous belt-shaped sheet material by an adhesive coating device. At the side edge of the continuous strip-shaped sheet material, small detection holes are formed in advance to detect the positions of pictures, characters, figures, and the like, and the continuous strip-shaped sheet material coated with an adhesive is used. When the detected small through-hole is detected by the sheet material position detecting device, a signal detecting the detected small through-hole is transmitted by the position detecting device, whereby the sheet sending mechanism is operated to appropriately attach the sheet to the sheet material. The sheet is sent out from the sheet storage unit to the position where the sheet is attached to the continuous belt-shaped sheet material. Thus, the sheet sent to the attaching position in this manner is attached to the continuous belt-like sheet material by the attaching and carrying out device and is carried out.

The holes are opened at intervals, and both side edges are finally cut by a cutter 23 so as to have a predetermined width, so that they are notched as shown in FIG. The small detection holes H may be provided on both sides or on one side. In short, any small holes H may be used as long as they are used for aligning a printed pattern, character, graphic, or the like with the paper sheet P. . Further, although the detection small through-holes H are provided in the sheet material S for the detection, the invention is not limited to the small through-holes H, and a sheet provided with a detection mark by printing, printing, or the like can be used.

And a sheet material SP on which the sheet material S and the sheet P are stuck together by the sticking portion, which is transferred to be carried out via the guide roller 25 and the like. And a tension adjusting arm 24 formed to keep the tension of the sheet material SP to which the sheet is pasted when transported to a certain extent.

Although not shown, unnecessary sheet materials on both sides or one side of the continuous band-shaped sheet material S cut by the cutter 23 are:
It is suctioned and processed by a blower or the like.

Then, the sheet-pasted sheet material SP carried out by the pasting-out device 6 having such a structure is taken up by the winding unit 26 as shown in the figure.
And is moved outside. In this case,
Instead of the winding section 26, a secondary processing machine such as a cutting machine may be appropriately arranged.

It goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment.

(Effects of the Invention) The present invention configured as described above provides a sheet material supply unit 2 that holds a continuous belt-shaped sheet material S on which a pattern, a character, a graphic, and the like are provided so as to be able to continuously supply the sheet material supply unit 2. And a detection device formed on the side edge of the continuous belt-shaped sheet material S to detect the position of a picture, a character, a graphic, or the like. A sheet material position detecting device 4 for detecting the small through hole H, and an appropriate sheet P to be affixed to the sheet material S by being operated by a signal detected by the position detecting device 4 to detect the small through hole H, A sheet delivery mechanism 5 for sending the sheet P to the continuous strip-shaped sheet material S one by one to a sticking position 17 to the continuous strip-shaped sheet material S, and a sticking-out operation for sticking the sheet P sent to the sticking position 17 to the continuous strip-shaped sheet material S and sending it out. The paper delivery mechanism 5 comprises a paper storage unit 11. A sheet take-out apparatus 12 to take out the paper sheets P that are heavy one by one, and the delivery device be sent the retrieved paper P to a continuous belt-like sheet material sticking position 17 to S, the paper sheet take-out apparatus 12
And a sheet detecting device that detects the sheet P that is sent out while being disposed between the sheet attaching device 17 and the sheet detecting device. The sheet detecting device sequentially moves toward the attaching position 17 from the sheet extracting device 12 side. The first sheet detector 18, the second sheet detector 19, and the third sheet detector 20 are arranged in this order, and the first sheet detector 18 determines whether or not one sheet P is sent out. Is detected, and if it is not one, a command to stop the entire operation is sent, and the second sheet detector 19 is formed.
Is arranged to be close to the third sheet detecting body 20, and is formed so as to detect the sheet P being sent and to send a command to reduce the feeding speed thereof. Since it is formed to detect the paper sheet P which is disposed and sent in the vicinity of the attaching position 17 to the continuous belt-shaped sheet material S and send a command to stop the paper sheet P, the adhesive B is applied. The small hole H for detecting the continuous strip-shaped sheet material S
Then, a signal indicating that the small detection hole H has been detected by the position detecting device 4 is transmitted, whereby the sheet sending mechanism 5 is operated, and the sheet P to be stuck on the sheet S is appropriately stored in the sheet storage. From the unit 11, the sheet can be sent out one by one to a sticking position 17 on the continuous strip-shaped sheet material S. Thus, the sheet P sent to the attaching position 17 is attached to the continuous belt-shaped sheet material S by the attachment detecting device 6 and is carried out.

Therefore, in the paper sheet delivery mechanism 5 in such a series of steps, the paper sheets P stacked in the paper sheet storage unit 11 are taken out one by one by the paper sheet take-out device 12, and the taken out paper sheets are taken out. The sheet P is sent out to the sticking position 17 of the sheet P by the sending device, and in the middle of the sending, the sheet P faces in the sending direction from the sheet take-out device 12 side, that is, the first sheet detection. The body 18, the second sheet detecting body 19, and the third sheet detecting body 20 are arranged in this order, and first, the first sheet detecting body 18
It is determined whether the number of sheets P to be sent is one, and
When the number of sheets is two or more, the sheet P is stopped by stopping the entire operation when the number of sheets is two or more. Is detected, the feed speed of the sheet P is reduced, and finally, the second
The sheet P decelerated by the detector 19 is detected by the third detector 20 and stopped at the sticking position 17. Therefore, when a sheet P is sent in an overlapped state of two or more sheets, the apparatus can be stopped by the first sheet detector 18 to prevent occurrence of a defect, and the inertia force of the sent sheet P is reduced to the second sheet. Leaf detector 19
Thus, the speed is minimized by decelerating, and thereafter, the feeding of the paper sheet is stopped by the third paper sheet detector 20, so that the paper sheet can be reliably stopped at the set stop position. However, this stop time is an extremely short time because the continuous belt-shaped sheet material S is continuously fed.

Also, since the paper is pasted with an adhesive, the pasting speed is faster and the price is lower than in the case of double-sided adhesive tape, there is no need to dry when using a water-soluble adhesive, In addition to preventing curling, the adhesive does not peel off due to curing.

Therefore, according to the present invention, in a state where a continuous strip-shaped sheet material on which a pattern, a character, a graphic, or the like is provided is continuously supplied, a sheet is appropriately affixed to the sheet material at a continuous and accurate position. Thus, the mass production speed of a product formed thereby can be remarkably improved, and various excellent effects such as the production of an excellent product without defective products can be obtained.
