Abstract:
1. An apparatus for placing one of a plurality of adhesive sheets of predetermined size, arranged on a carrier strip in rows, onto a substrate precisely and attaching them together comprising: a substrate feed station for feeding said substrate to an attaching position along a feed path; a carrier strip feed station for feeding said carrier strip; a peeling station for peeling said adhesive sheet off from said carrier strip; a non-adhesive guide sheet for leading said peeled adhesive sheet to the attaching position while keeping away from said substrate; a stopper to which forward edges of said substrate and said adhesive sheet contact at the attaching position, movable between a position across the feed path and a position off the feed path; a movable press roller for pressing the forward portion of said adhesive sheet onto the forward portion of said substrate to attach said adhesive sheet onto said substrate at the attaching position; and a feed roller arranged facing said press roller and for discharging the adhered sheet and substrate from the attaching position, wherein said guide sheet has slits extending in the feed direction at the forward portion and said press roller presses the forward portion of said sheet to the forward portion of said substrate through said slits so as to attach said sheet onto said substrate.
