Abstract:
1. A laminating apparatus for laminating a laminate material provided on a film onto a card comprising: means for transporting the card; means for supplying the film so as to overlap the film with the card transported by the means for transporting the card; means for thermally compression bonding the laminate material on the film overlapped with the card onto the card; means for driving the means for thermally compression bonding the laminate material on the film to move from a standby location where the means for thermally compression bonding the laminate material is separated from the film to a compression bonding location where the laminate material is thermally compression bonded on the card; means for taking up the film overlapped with the card; a first guide for guiding the film in a supply side of the film before the means for thermally compression bonding the laminate material; a second guide for guiding the film in a take-up side of the film behind the means for thermally compression bonding the laminate material; and a movable third guide for guiding the film in an upstream side of the second guide and in a downstream side of the means for thermally compression bonding the laminate material, wherein the movable third guide moves in accordance with movement of the means for thermally compression bonding the laminate material that is driven by the means for driving the means for thermally compression bonding the laminate material.
