Communicated.

The machine includes a lamination target (hereinafter referred to as a medium) moving path 35 (entrance side), and a lower film hook 11 is provided below the medium moving path 35, and an upper film is located near the tip of the lower film hook 11. As with the hook 5, a bearing groove 11a for setting the cold laminate material 25 and the like is provided. When enclosing the medium 23 from the front and back, a cold laminating material 25 or the like is set on the lower film hook 11.
The media 23 mounted on the media moving path 35 is sandwiched and drawn between a pair of upper laminating rollers (hereinafter referred to as lami rollers) 19 and lower laminating rollers 20 to be laminated.
A pair of lower pulling rollers 14 and an upper pulling roller 15 are installed on the exit side on the extension of the media moving path 35, and a product (laminated product) laminated by a pair of lami rollers is drawn and discharged from the exit 36. .

An upper heat roller 8 and a lower heat roller 9 constituting a pair of heat rollers are respectively disposed at an upper position and a lower position of the upper lami roller 19 and the lower lami roller 20 constituting the pair of lami rollers, and further, an upper position of the upper heat roller 8. The upper intermediate roller 22 and the lower intermediate roller 12 are installed at lower positions of the lower heat roller 9 respectively.
The upper intermediate roller 22 is a roller serving as a starting point for starting peeling from the cold laminate material 24, and the peeled release film 4 is wound around the winding cone 2. On the other hand, an adhesive or the like is applied to the release surface of the cold laminate material 24, and the cold laminate material 24 from which the release film 4 has been peeled passes from the upper intermediate roller 22 through the upper heat roller 8. In the upper heat roller 8, the cold laminate material 24 is heated and guided between the upper lami roller 19 and the lower lami roller 20. At this time, the peeling surface of the cold laminating material 24 is pressed against the upper surface of the media 23 conveyed on the media moving path 35, and the media 23 becomes the cold laminating material 24 by pressing between the upper laminating roller 19 and the lower laminating roller 20.

Is the case of winding up. From the outlet 36, the hologram (design) transferred film 37 is discharged and the medium (product) 38 on which the design is transferred is also discharged. The design transfer medium 38 is discharged without being wound up. The hologram (design) transferred film 37 is wound around the winding cone 2 and becomes a hologram winding roll 33.
Since the hologram film material 32 is not provided with release paper, the winding cone 2 of the winding arm 21 does not wind up the release paper film. The user loosens the knob bolt, rotates the winding arm 21 clockwise with the shaft 6 as a fulcrum, and tightens the knob bolt to a position shown in FIG. 1B at a predetermined angle with respect to the horizontal direction. In winding the hologram transferred film, an angular position rotated downward with respect to the horizontal position is preferable.
In this way, the constituent elements are the same as those described in FIG.
