Patent ID: 7909081

Claim:
A sheet laminator, comprising: a bonding unit that bonds a first sheet to a second sheet that includes an adhesive layer; and a restricting unit that restricts movement of any one of the first sheet and the second sheet thereby preventing bonding between the first sheet and the second sheet before the first sheet and the second sheet reach the bonding unit, wherein the restriction unit is provided between the first and second sheets at upstream side at which the first and second sheets are bonded, wherein the restricting unit includes a direction restricting unit that comes into contact with a surface of the second sheet opposite to the adhesive layer until the second sheet reaches the bonding unit, thereby restricting a conveying direction of the second sheet, and wherein the direction restricting unit includes at least one guide member that comes into contact with the second sheet, the at least one guide member being movable between an operating position for restricting the conveying direction and a retracted position.
