Patent ID: 6878493

Claim:
A hologram-recording dry plate fabrication process comprising steps of: providing a supply of plurality of discrete sheets of a sheet-cut form of hologram recording photosensitive film comprising a supporting film, a hologram recording photosensitive material and a separator, said supply of sheets being in a precut form and plural ones of said sheets being stored together in said pre-cut form; iteratively feeding discrete ones of a substrate one by one from a supply having a plurality of substrates to a lamination section stored in a horizontal supported orientation, converting said fed ones of a substrate from the horizontal orientation to a vertical supported orientation; iteratively positioning ones of said sheet-cut form of hologram recording photosensitive film adjacent ones of said substrate, releasing said separator from said fed ones of said sheet-cut form of hologram-recording photosensitive film, and laminating said ones of said sheet-cut form of hologram-recording photosensitive film from which said separator is released on one surface from a hologram recording photosensitive material side to ones of said substrate at said lamination section, wherein said separator-releasing step and/or said lamination step are carried out while said substrate and/or said hologram-recording photosensitive film are vertically supported.
