Laminating device for consecutively laminating plural sheets
First Claim
1. A laminating apparatus comprising:
- an introduction-side transport unit that transports objects to be laminated in a transport direction;
a web supply unit that supplies a pair of webs;
a laminate processing unit that adheringly laminates the pair of webs onto upper and lower surfaces of the objects;
a detector disposed between the introduction-side transport unit and the web supply unit, and that detects a front edge of objects transported by the introduction-side transport unit; and
a consecutive lamination control unit that, when the detector detects a front edge of the prior object transported by the introduction-side transport unit, controls the introduction-side transport unit and the laminate processing unit to;
transport and laminate the prior object until a rear edge of the prior object is positioned in the vicinity of the web supply unit;
stop transport and lamination of the prior object for a predetermined duration of time after the rear edge of the prior object is positioned in the vicinity of the web supply unit; and
transport a subsequent object to the laminate processing unit once the detector detects a front edge of the subsequent object after the predetermined duration of time elapses from stopping transport of the prior object.

Abstract
A laminating apparatus includes a detector disposed between introduction-side transport rollers and a web supply unit. When the detector detects a front edge of a prior object transported by the introduction-side transport rollers, then the introduction-side transport rollers and a laminate processing unit transport and laminate the prior object until a rear edge of the prior object is positioned in the vicinity of the web supply unit, whereupon transport and lamination of the prior object are stopped for a predetermined duration of time. Then once the detector detects a front edge of the subsequent object after the predetermined duration of time elapses from stopping transport of the prior object, the introduction-side transport rollers transport a subsequent object to the laminate processing unit.
