Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

The present invention relates, such as the postcard, about the card body attached equipment to paste and other photo or card.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When sending a greeting card for marriage, children's growth status, etc. to relatives, friends, etc., ask a specialist to make a postcard with a photo burned on the back of the postcard, or the back of a postcard. I have manually pasted the photo on.

In the case of making a postcard with a photograph by requesting a specialist, not only is the price per sheet high when the number of ordered sheets is small, but there are many restrictions on the size and shape of the photograph that can be used. Also, when a photo is pasted on the backside of a postcard by hand, the distribution of the glue applied to the backside of the photo will be uneven, so the photo may peel off or wrinkle after drying, resulting in good workability. Absent.
In addition, since all the work is done manually, it is very troublesome when the number of manufactured products increases.

Therefore, the applicant of the present application has developed a device for attaching a postcard to a strip-shaped photograph as a device capable of automatically attaching a photograph or the like to a postcard, and the Japanese Patent Publication No. 5-13
For example, it is disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 1782.

When this apparatus is used, a large number of images are printed at regular intervals, and a strip-shaped photograph having sensor-sensing holes corresponding to each image position is applied in a substantially straight line while applying liquid glue, and corresponding to the image. By attaching and cutting the postcards at the designated positions, it is possible to automatically produce postcards with photographs separated one by one.

[0006]

Since the conventional photo sticking apparatus uses a band-shaped photo in which a plurality of images are printed at regular intervals, that is, a so-called roll sheet-shaped photo,
When making a postcard with a photo, it is necessary to make a roll sheet photo in advance.

However, a roll sheet photograph can be produced only by a specialist, and in order to make one roll sheet photograph, a certain number of sheets are required. Therefore, it is convenient for producing a large number of postcards with photos for business use, but if the number of postcards required for general home is small, it will be rather expensive and there is no merit to use the photo sticking device. .

In addition, the conventional photo sticking device has a complicated mechanism for feeding and sticking postcards one by one to a roll sheet-like photo, so that there is a problem in manufacturing and use. The size of itself is 1300mm in width and 14 in height.
Since it is a large size of about 00 mm and a depth of about 500 mm, it cannot be installed unless there is a large space, and it is not suitable for general household use.

On the other hand, although a device for sticking one photo to a postcard has been developed and sold, the postcard with a photo is a double-sided adhesive because it is a method of sticking the photos to the postcard by using a double-sided adhesive tape. Thickened by the amount of adhesive tape.

Therefore, the first problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a card body sticking apparatus capable of automatically producing a postcard with a photograph having a high dimensional accuracy by using an ordinary photograph which is not in the form of a roll sheet. In .

[0011]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a card body sticking apparatus of the present invention is a card body conveying means capable of holding and moving a card body, and a first card body to the card body conveying means.

As shown in FIG. 8, the adhesive discharge nozzle 35.
Is a structure that can be tilted by an angle θ in the conveyance direction of the photograph P. Therefore, when the suction plate 18 is conveyed and moved, as shown in FIG.
As shown in (a), the front portions of the rails 18r provided at both ends of the suction plate 18 and the cam levers 35c fixed to both ends of the adhesive discharge nozzle 35 come into contact with each other, and the suction plate 18 is further conveyed and moved. As shown in (b), the adhesive discharge nozzle 35 together with the cam lever 35c tilts by the angle θ in the conveying direction of the photo P to apply the adhesive. At this time, since the cam lever 35c is in two-point contact, it does not tilt more than θ, and the angle θ is always constant each time the coating operation is performed. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the problem that a large amount of adhesive is concentrated and applied to the application start portion of the photo P.

Since the cam lever 35c is provided with a spring 35s for urging the adhesive discharge nozzle 35 to return to its original state, when the suction plate 18 passes through the adhesive discharge nozzle 35, the adhesive is adhered. The agent discharge nozzle 35 immediately returns to the original state. In this way, by making the adhesive discharge nozzle 35 tiltable, the adhesive can be uniformly applied only in a certain area of the photo P.

At this time, the air suction of the suction plate 18 is released, and at the same time, the air suction of the suction tool 46 is started, so that the sticking body C2 is suctioned by the suction tool 46. Then, the holding member 47
After moving down to the original position, the air cylinder 52 moves in the direction of the second slitter portion 17 along the horizontal bar member 51.

Next, as shown in FIG. 17, the second slit portion 17 is composed of a slit roller 54 having a disc cutter 53, a feed roller 55, a discharge roller 56, and a blade blade 57. The adhered body C2 that has been adsorbed by the adsorbing tool 46 and has moved is the delivery roller 55 and the ejection roller 5
When the portion 6 is reached, the air suction of the suction tool 46 is released, and thus the adherend C2 moves while being sandwiched between both rollers, and passes between the slit roller 54 and the blade roller 57. At this time, the disc cutter 53 cuts the short side portion and then ejects. The discharged adherent C2 slides down on the guide plate 58 and is stored in the storage portion 59. As a result, the adhesive body C2 in which the photo P is attached to the postcard C is completed. It should be noted that by changing the attachment interval of the two disc cutters 53, the bonded body C2 after cutting
