The suction plate 60 includes a plurality of suction holes (not shown) on the lower surface side, and is configured to suck and hold the adhesive sheet S1 and the sheet S2 in a state of being bonded together.

  Next, the overall operation of this embodiment will be described. Here, for convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the adherend W is a delivery product, the delivery sheet information of the product is printed on the adhesive sheet S1, and the receipt amount is, for example, on the sheet S2. It is assumed that confidential information such as product names and dates are printed.

  When the adherend W to which a management label (not shown) is attached is conveyed by the conveyor C, information on the management label is read by a reading device (not shown). When this information is read, the motors 24 and 36 are driven, and the original fabrics R1 and R2 are fed out. The read information includes print information. Then, during the unwinding of the original fabric R1, the first printing means 11 performs predetermined printing based on the printing information on the management label with the base material surface (upper surface) of the adhesive sheet S1 as the printing surface. After this printing, the adhesive sheet S1 is peeled off from the release sheet RL by the peel plate 12, sandwiched between the round belt 31 and the guide roller 32, conveyed, and detected by the first detection means 51 to be stopped. . At this time, the first detection means 51 may be configured to confirm the content of printing applied to the adhesive sheet S1.

  At the same time, the original fabric R2 is subjected to predetermined printing by the second printing means 15 during feeding, based on the printing information on the management label with the upper surface of the belt-like sheet TS as the printing surface. After this printing, the strip sheet TS is cut by the cutting means 16 to form the sheet S2. The sheet S2 is guided upward by the guide roller 46 and conveyed upward toward the bonding means 19 while being suction-held on the print surface side by the suction belt 45. At this time, during the printing process of the second printing means 15, the printing surface turned upward reverses the orientation of the front and back of the sheet S2 by the rotation of the suction belt 45, that is, the printing surface of the sheet S2. Is transferred to the bonding means 19 with the non-printing surface facing upward.

  When the sheet S2 conveyed by the second conveying means 18 is detected by the second detecting means 52, the stopped round belt 31 is re-driven at a predetermined timing and synchronized with the suction belt 45. The adhesive sheet S1 is conveyed to the bonding means 19. At this time, the second detection means 52 may be configured to confirm the content of printing applied to the sheet S2. As a result, the sheets S1 and S2 are aligned, the press roller 48 presses the sheets S1 and S2 through the cylinder 49, and the sheet S2 and the adhesive sheet S1 are bonded together. At this time, since the width of the sheet S2 is smaller than the adhesive sheet S1, the non-printing surface of the sheet S2 is bonded so that the adhesive layer of the adhesive sheet S1 is partially exposed.

  The adhesion sheet S1 and the sheet S2 that have been bonded together are confirmed by the verification means 53 for consistency, relative position, print quality, and the like, supplied onto the holding body 58, and held by suction. If the verification means 53 determines that the verification is incompatible, the operation of the sheet pasting apparatus 10 is stopped and a signal is output to a pilot lamp or buzzer (not shown) to notify the operator that the verification is incompatible. It is supposed to be. When it is determined that the verification conforms, the adhesive sheet S1 and the single sheet S2 are transferred to the lower surface of the suction plate 60 via the single-axis robot 57, and then the adhesive sheet S1 and the single sheet S2 to which the suction plate 60 is bonded. Is sucked and held, and the holding body 58 is retracted to the original position. Then, when the suction plate 60 is lowered toward the adherend W by the operation of the cylinder 61, the sheet S2 is concealed between the adherend W and outside the sheet S2. It will be affixed to the adherend W by the adhesive layer of the exposed adhesive sheet S1.

  Therefore, according to such an embodiment, in the second conveying means 18, the front and back can be reversed while the printing surface side of the sheet S2 is held by the suction belt 45 and conveyed. As a result, the first and second printing means 11 and 15 can be made common in the direction in which the printing process is performed downward, and an existing printer can be used for the printing means 11 and 15 and a printer having the same structure is used. It becomes possible.
