[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As mentioned above, the work of scoring and bending a sheet-like work is accomplished by using a warping section having a warping blade and a bending unit that bends the sheet-like work along the scoring. The process is carried out using a crimp folding machine with a section. In this case, the sheet-like workpiece 1 is conveyed by an operator in a plurality of bundles of a certain amount from the previous process, and manually set in the crimp two-folder feeder. In this process, each sheet-like workpiece is taken out from the bundled sheet-like workpiece 1 and subjected to a crimp and two-folding operation. However, with this method, when the work is completed for each bundle of sheet-like work, it is necessary to temporarily stop the work and set the next bundle of sheet-like work in the crimp double-folding machine. Not only was it impossible to perform the work, but it also took a long time to set up the sheet-like workpieces.

[0006] In addition, in order to improve efficiency, a large number of sheet-like works are set in the feeder of the double-stripe folding machine at one time, so adjustments that require skill must be made to ensure that the stacked state of the sheet-like works is uniform. , it was not possible to stably take out each sheet-like work piece.

The present invention has been made in consideration of these points, and is capable of continuously and quickly scoring a sheet-like workpiece and folding it in half, and in-line with the upstream process. The object of the present invention is to provide a two-stripe presser that can easily perform the following steps.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides a striation pushing part that has a crimp blade that presses the central part of a sheet-like workpiece and creates creases on the sheet-like workpiece, and a striation pressing part that is arranged downstream of the striation pressing part. a bending part for folding a sheet-like workpiece along the lines;
The present invention is characterized by comprising a non-stop feeder that feeds one sheet-like workpiece from a plurality of sheet-like works arranged upstream of the striation pushing section and conveyed in a stacked state to the striation pushing section one by one. It is a straight folding machine.

[0009]

[Operation] According to the present invention, the sheet-like workpieces conveyed in a stacked state are fed one by one to the creasing section by a non-stop feeder to crease the sheet-like workpieces, and then the sheet-like workpieces are folded in two at the bending section. Since it can be folded, it is possible to continuously press and fold a sheet-like work in two.
