Patent ID: 7213628

Claim:
A photosensitive layer laminator for transferring a photosensitive layer from a photosensitive material to a substrate by use of said photosensitive material including a support, and said photosensitive layer overlaid on said support and containing resin, said photosensitive layer laminator comprising: a laminating mechanism for applying said photosensitive layer of plural photosensitive materials to a transfer region on said substrate by applying heat and pressure to said plural photosensitive materials and said substrate; a photosensitive material feeder for supplying said laminating mechanism with said plural photosensitive materials directed substantially in parallel with one another and including first and second photosensitive materials, said plural photosensitive materials having a width smaller than a width of said transfer region; and a substrate feeder for supplying said laminating mechanism with said substrate in placement on said plural photosensitive materials, wherein said photosensitive material feeder comprises at least one position control device for regulating a distance between said plural photosensitive materials at a predetermined level.
