Abstract:
A method for locating and conveying a sheet-like body, comprising the steps of:causing a downstream side end portion of a sheet-like body supported only at an underside thereof and conveyed by a travelling conveying member to abut against a blocking member to correct the attitude of the sheet-like body in such a state that the downstream side end of the sheet-like body is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the sheet-like body; moving the conveying member in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction until one side end of the sheet-like body in the direction perpendicular to the conveying direction reaches a predetermined position and stopping movement of the conveying member in the direction perpendicular to the conveying direction; and moving the blocking member to a position where the blocking member does not abut against the sheet-like body.
