Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a tape - attaching and folding device for a paper sheet, a package, and in particular, a processing device for a paper sheet member such as a mount for attaching an object to be attached having a cylindrical outer peripheral surface, and a package packaged thereby.

Background Art

[0002] For example, in order to display a product having a cylindrical outer peripheral surface attractively, it is effective to suspend and display the product. In Patent Document 1 below, a cylindrical shrink film is joined to the surface of a mount by a joining means such as an adhesive, an adhesive tape, or heat welding to form a mount with a shrink film. With a product (object to be packaged) having a cylindrical outer peripheral surface accommodated in the cylinder, the shrink film is heat - shrunk to disclose a package in which the object to be packaged is attached to the mount. The package can be suspended and displayed by passing a beam - shaped rod member through a hole provided in the upper part of the mount.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, in the package described in Patent Document 1, the object to be packaged wrapped in a shrink film is attached to a flat mount only at one location. When the package is suspended for display, for example, the mount may bend due to the weight of the object to be packaged, and the object to be packaged, which is the product, may face downward, resulting in a decrease in appearance. Also, the paper may lose its stiffness due to moisture in the air, and similarly, the mount may bend and the object to be packaged, which is the product, may face downward. To prevent such bending of the paper sheet member, for example, it is conceivable to increase the rigidity of the paper by forming creases in the sheet member in the vertical direction. Then, by joining both sides of the sheet member (mount) straddling the crease to two locations in the circumferential direction of the cylindrical outer peripheral surface of the object to be packaged, the shape of the crease can be maintained and the joining strength of the object to be packaged can also be increased. However, in this case, it is difficult to firmly form creases in the mount (sheet member) only by accommodating the object to be packaged in the cylindrical shrink film and then heat-shrinking the shrink film. That is, in this case, for example, it is necessary to attach the object to be packaged pre-wrapped in the shrink film to a paper sheet member to which double-sided tapes are attached at two locations and then bend the sheet member.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a tape-attaching and bending device for a paper sheet and a package that enable the production of a package in which a paper sheet member such as a mount is not easily bent by the weight of an object to be attached such as an object to be packaged.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] To achieve the above object, one aspect of the present invention is that when a half-cut double-sided tape is attached to a predetermined position of a paper sheet member and an object to be attached is attached to the attachment position and then the sheet member is bent, there are two tape attachment portions for attaching the half-cut double-sided tape to two predetermined positions of the sheet member, an object attachment portion for attaching an object to be attached to a position where one of the double-sided tapes is attached, and a sheet bending portion for bending the sheet member toward the object to be attached including the position where the other double-sided tape is attached. The gist is that it is provided with these.

[0007] In the present invention, half-cut double-sided tapes are attached to two locations on a paper sheet member such as a mount. After attaching an object to be attached, such as a packaged item, to one of the double-sided tapes, the sheet member is bent toward the object to be attached, including the attachment location of the other double-sided tape. As a result, a crease is formed in the sheet member along the object to be attached, and for example, it becomes possible to attach two different locations in the circumferential direction of the cylindrical outer peripheral surface of the object to be attached to the sheet member using the double-sided tapes.

Effects of the Invention

[0008] According to the present invention, it is possible to manufacture a package in which a paper sheet member such as a mount is not easily bent by the weight of an object to be attached, such as a packaged item.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0010] Hereinafter, embodiments of the tape - attaching and bending device for a paper sheet and a package of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The following embodiments illustrate devices and methods for embodying the technical idea of the present invention. The technical idea of the present invention does not specify the materials, shapes, structures, arrangements, etc. of the components in the following embodiments. Also, the drawings are schematic. Therefore, it should be noted that the relationship between thickness and planar dimensions, ratios, etc. are different from the actual ones, and there are parts where the dimensional relationships and ratios are different between the drawings.

[0011] FIG. 1 is a three - view showing an embodiment of a tape - attaching and bending device for a paper sheet, specifically a front view and a plan view. In this device, the mount board 1 in a stacked state, which is a paper sheet member, is cut out one by one from the mount board 1 and conveyed from the left side to the right side of the figure. While being conveyed, half - cut double - sided tapes 5 and 6 are attached to two locations on the upper surface of the mount board 1. After that, the object to be packaged 2, which is the object to be attached, is attached to the attachment location of one of the double - sided tapes 5. Then, the mount board 1 is bent including the attachment location of the other double - sided tape 6. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2(d), the object to be packaged 2 has a cylindrical outer peripheral surface. In this example, it is pre - wrapped with a shrink film. The mount board 1 in this example is rectangular in plan view and is moved while sliding on the mounting table (table) 8 provided in the apparatus of FIG. 1 parallel to the long side of the rectangle. Note that "paper - made" includes not only paper itself but also materials mainly made of paper.

[0012] Figure 2 shows the manufacturing process of the package 3 manufactured by the device of Figure 1. As shown in Figure 2(a), near the short side on one side (the right side in the figure) of the rectangular mount 1 in plan view, a hole 7 is provided for hanging and displaying the package 3. On the other hand, a notch is formed at one place on the long side in the back of the figure, and in order to form a fold line by valley-folding the portion on the short side of the other side (the left side in the figure) and closer to the long side in the back than this notch with a one-dot chain line in the figure, a ruled line 4 is provided in advance as a folding line at the one-dot chain line portion in the figure. The "ruled line" is a relatively fragile line portion formed by compressing the mount 1 in the thickness direction, and the mount 1 can be accurately bent using this ruled line 4 as a fold line. Note that the ruled line 4 may be provided as necessary. In this manufacturing process, as shown in Figure 2(b), first, a double-sided tape (hereinafter also referred to as an inner double-sided tape) 5 is attached in parallel to the long side of the mount 1 to the inner portion in the width direction (the direction opposite to the long side) of the mount 1 from the ruled line 4. As will be described later, a half-cut double-sided tape is used for the double-sided tape. Next, as shown in Figure 2(c), a double-sided tape (hereinafter also referred to as an outer double-sided tape) 6 is attached in parallel to the long side of the mount 1 to the outer portion in the width direction of the mount 1 from the ruled line 4. The attachment procedures of the inner double-sided tape 5 and the outer double-sided tape 6 may be reversed.

[0013] Next, in this example, as shown in Figure 2(d), the package 2 is mounted at the location where the inner double-sided tape 5 is attached with the longitudinal direction of the package 2 aligned with the extension direction of the inner double-sided tape 5, and the package 2 is attached to the inner double-sided tape 5, that is, to the mount 1. Next, as shown in Figure 2(e), the outer portion in the width direction of the mount 1 from the ruled line 4 including the location where the outer double-sided tape 6 is attached is bent upward, that is, toward the package 2 side. As a result, the outer double-sided tape 6 is attached to a location in the circumferential direction different from the location where the inner double-sided tape 5 is attached on the cylindrical outer peripheral surface of the package 2, and the package 2 is fixed to the mount 1. The previous and subsequent attachments of the package 2 to the double-sided tapes 5 and 6 may be reversed, but in this example, since the mount 1 is bent so that a fold line is provided at the end near the long side of the mount 1, the above process is more practical. Note that there are multiple types of sizes for the mount 1, and accordingly, there are also multiple types of sizes for the package 2.

[0014] Returning to FIG. 1, in this apparatus, the topmost mount board 1 is cut out from the mount boards 1 stacked and stored in the mount board stocker 9 by the mount board cutting and loading section 10 and loaded onto the leftmost portion in the figure on the mounting table 8. From here, the mount board 1 is conveyed by the conveying mechanism 11 to the first tape attaching section 12 on the right side of the figure, and the inner double-sided tape 5 is attached to a predetermined position on the upper surface of the mount board 1, that is, inside the mount board width direction of the ruled line 4, at the first tape attaching section 12. Next, the mount board 1 is conveyed by the conveying mechanism 11 to the second tape attaching section 13 on the right side of the figure, and the outer double-sided tape 6 is attached to a predetermined position on the upper surface of the mount board 1, that is, outside the mount board width direction of the ruled line 4, at the second tape attaching section 13. The first tape attaching section 12 and the second tape attaching section 13 are provided with a double-sided tape attaching device 14 that unwinds the half-cut double-sided tape 31 (see FIG. 5) from the winding body 32 and presses it against the upper surface of the mount board 1 for attachment. The details of the double-sided tape attaching device 14 will be described later. Also, the first tape attaching section 12 and the second tape attaching section 13 are provided with a width direction adjusting device 21 that moves the double-sided tape attaching device 14 in the width direction of the mount board 1 to adjust the attachment position of the half-cut double-sided tape 31 in the width direction of the mount board 1.

[0015] Next, the mount 1 is conveyed by the conveying mechanism 11 to the object pasting portion 15 on the right side in the figure. Here, the packaged object 2 to be pasted is placed on the upper surface of the inner double-sided tape 5, and the packaged object 2 is pasted on the inner double-sided tape 5, that is, on the mount 1. The placement and pasting of the packaged object 2 on the upper surface of the inner double-sided tape 5 at this object pasting portion 15 are performed manually by an operator. Therefore, a positioning member for defining the pasting position of the packaged object 2 with respect to the mount 1 is disposed at this object pasting portion 15, and the details thereof will be described later. Note that the placement and pasting of the packaged object 2 on the mount 1 may be performed, for example, using an industrial robot or the like to take out (pick up) the packaged object 2 and perform mounting and pasting (pressing) at a predetermined position in a predetermined posture. Next, the mount 1 with the packaged object 2 pasted thereon is conveyed by the conveying mechanism 11 to the sheet bending portion 16 on the right side in the figure. At this sheet bending portion 16, the mount 1 where the outer double-sided tape 6 is pasted, that is, the outer portion in the width direction of the ruled line 4, is bent upward, and the outer double-sided tape 6 is pasted on the cylindrical outer peripheral surface of the packaged object 2. Naturally, the location on the cylindrical outer peripheral surface of the packaged object 2 where the outer double-sided tape 6 is pasted is different from the location on the cylindrical outer peripheral surface of the packaged object 2 where the inner double-sided tape 5 is pasted. Next, the mount 1 with the packaged object 2 pasted at two locations, that is, the package 3, is conveyed by the conveying mechanism 11 to the discharge conveyor 22 on the right side in the figure, and the package 3 is discharged from this discharge conveyor 22.

[0016] Next, before explaining the cardboard cutting and loading unit 10, which can also be called the first process of this apparatus, the conveying mechanism 11 in the apparatus will be described. As described above, in this apparatus, the cardboard 1 is moved and conveyed so as to slide on the mounting table 8. The conveying mechanism 11 for the cardboard 1 (and the package 3) includes a pitch-feed conveyor 23 as shown in FIG. 1. Since the distances between the respective processes in the apparatus are set to be constant, conveying claws 25 are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the conveyor belt 24 of the pitch-feed conveyor 23, and the cardboard 1 (and the package 3) is conveyed by pushing it in the conveying direction with these conveying claws 25. Further, on the front and rear sides of the mounting table 8, that is, at the upper and lower positions in the plan view of FIG. 1, a front guide member 26 and a rear guide member 27 for guiding the end faces in the width direction of the cardboard 1, that is, the long sides of the rectangle in plan view, are provided along the conveying direction of the cardboard 1. Among these, the front guide member 26 on the lower side in the plan view of FIG. 1 is provided from the loading portion of the cardboard 1 to the discharge conveyor 22, but regarding the upper rear guide member 27, it is continuous from the loading portion of the cardboard 1 to the second tape sticking portion 13, an individual rear guide member 27 is provided in the object sticking portion 15, and in the sheet bending portion 16, as will be described later, a rear movable guide member 29 is provided.

[0017] Fig. 3 shows a left side view (partial cross-section) of the conveying mechanism 11 including the conveying claws 25 provided on the pitch-feed conveyor 23, the front guide member 26, and the rear guide member 27. In this figure, since the carrier sheet 1 is viewed across the conveying claws 25, the conveying claws 25 are positioned on the front side in the conveying direction of the carrier sheet 1. As described above, the conveying claws 25 are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the conveyor belt 24 so as to project from the belt surface at a constant pitch in the circumferential direction, that is, the inter-process distance of the apparatus. Actually, a member for fixing the conveying claws 25 is also attached to the inner peripheral surface side of the conveyor belt 24, but the illustration thereof is omitted here. The conveying claws 25 project from a slit-shaped gap continuously formed in the moving direction of the carrier sheet 1 on the plate-shaped mounting table 8 up to above the upper surface of the mounting table 8, and push one short side of the carrier sheet 1 that is rectangular in plan view, that is, the short side on the rear side in the carrier sheet moving direction, as the conveyor belt 24 rotates. The front guide member 26 is disposed on the right side in the figure of the conveyed carrier sheet 1, and the rear guide member 27 is disposed on the left side in the figure, and they are fixed to the mounting table 8 by the bolt-nut fastening member 28. As described above, or as shown in FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b), since there are a plurality of types of sizes of the carrier sheet 1, long holes (not shown) that are long in the left-right direction in the figure are formed at the locations where the fastening members 28 of the mounting table 8 pass through, so that the positions of the front guide member 26 and the rear guide member 27 can be slid and adjusted according to the size, that is, the width of the carrier sheet 1.

[0018] FIG. 4 is a three - view drawing of the base paper cutting and loading unit 10, specifically, a front view and a left - side view. This base paper cutting and loading unit 10 includes a stocker moving device 40 that moves the base paper stocker 9 in the vertical direction, and a base paper cutting device 41 that takes out the top - most base paper 1 of the base papers 1 stacked one on top of the other. The base paper stocker 9 is provided at a position shifted in a direction orthogonal to the conveyance direction of the base paper 1 in the apparatus. The short side and the long side of the rectangular base paper 1 in plan view are guided by eight vertically - erected round bar members 42, and a large number of base papers 1 are stacked vertically and stored. The stocker moving device 40 moves the base paper stocker 9 in the vertical direction, for example, with a general - purpose motor 43 and a drive mechanism 44. In order for the top - most base paper 1 taken out by the base paper cutting device 41 to be at a certain height, a sensor (not shown), such as a light - shielding sensor, is used to detect the height position of the top - most base paper 1. When the top - most base paper 1 is taken out, the base paper stocker 9 is lifted (raised) so that the base paper 1 below it reaches the top - most height position. The base paper cutting device 41 includes a suction mechanism 45 that sucks the top - most base paper 1 in order to take out only the top - most base paper 1 of the base paper stocker 9. The suction is performed by sucking the air inside the suction cup, and the release of the suction is performed by sending air into the suction cup. This suction mechanism 45 is lifted and lowered by a lifting device 46 including an actuator 47 driven by high - pressure air or electric power and a drive mechanism 48, and sucks the top - most base paper 1 at the lower end. The suction mechanism 45 and the lifting device 46 are moved (transversely) in a direction orthogonal to the conveyance direction of the base paper 1 in the apparatus by a traversing device 49 including an actuator 50 driven by high - pressure air or electric power and a drive mechanism 51. Therefore, the suction mechanism 45 and the lifting device 46 that suck the top - most base paper 1 at the position of the base paper stocker 9 are moved (transversely) to the conveyance position of the base paper 1 in the apparatus, that is, the position of the mounting table 8, and at that position, the suction of the base paper 1 is released. As a result, the base paper 1 falls onto the mounting table 8 in a predetermined posture. Note that a slide - table - like inclined plate (not shown) is provided at the falling position of the base paper 1, and the base paper 1 that has fallen onto this inclined plate slides on the inclined plate and is mounted on the mounting table 8.

[0019] FIG. 5 is a front view showing a schematic configuration of a double-sided tape attaching device 14 provided in the first tape attaching portion 12 and the second tape attaching portion 13. The basic configuration of this double-sided tape attaching device 14 is equivalent to that of the double-sided tape attaching machine described in Patent Document 2 above. The half-cut double-sided tape 31 with a release liner is unwound from a winding body 32 of the half-cut double-sided tape 31 with a release liner, and the unwound half-cut double-sided tape 31 with a release liner is pressed against the upper surface of the base sheet 1 while being relatively moved in the longitudinal direction of the double-sided tape by a predetermined length with respect to the base sheet 1 for attachment. The relative movement with respect to the base sheet 1 utilizes the conveyance of the base sheet 1 in the conveyance direction by the pitch feed conveyor 23. The half-cut double-sided tape 31 with a release liner unwound from the winding body 32 is guided by a guide roller 34 and a tension roller 35 and fed to an attaching roller 36. The attaching roller 36 is rotatably attached to a rotating arm 38, and this rotating arm 38 is rotated between the position of the solid line and the position of the dashed-dotted line around a support shaft 39 by an actuator (not shown).

[0020] The half-cut double-sided tape 31 has the double-sided tape half-cut into small pieces along the tape longitudinal direction. In the double-sided tape attaching device 14, the outer peripheral surface side of the attaching roller 36 is the liner, and the outer side thereof is the double-sided tape. When the attaching roller 36 is at the solid line position, the double-sided tape abuts against the upper surface of the base sheet 1, and when it is at the two-dot chain line position, the double-sided tape separates from the upper surface of the base sheet 1. As described in the above patent gazette, while the half-cut double-sided tape 31 is in contact with the base sheet 1 which is the object to be attached, small pieces of the double-sided tape are successively attached to the upper surface of the base sheet 1 as the attaching roller 36 rotates due to the relative movement between the two. However, when the half-cut double-sided tape 31 separates from the base sheet 1 which is the object to be attached, the double-sided tape is cut at the half-cut position of the small pieces of the double-sided tape that were in contact with the base sheet 1 until just before that, and the subsequent small pieces of the double-sided tape remain on the liner. Therefore, when the attaching roller 36 is lowered to bring the half-cut double-sided tape 31 into contact with the upper surface of the base sheet 1 while the next base sheet 1 is being conveyed, the double-sided tape is attached to the upper surface of the base sheet 1 from that position. The raising and lowering of the attaching roller 36 is performed in synchronization with the conveyance timing of the base sheet 1, whereby a double-sided tape of a predetermined length is attached to a predetermined position in the conveyance direction of the base sheet 1. As described above, by moving the double-sided tape attaching device 14 in the direction orthogonal to the conveyance direction of the base sheet 1, that is, in the width direction of the base sheet 1, by the width direction adjusting device 21, the attaching position of the double-sided tape in the width direction of the base sheet 1 can also be adjusted.

[0021] FIG. 6 shows a left side view (partial cross-section) of the object attaching portion 15. As described above, here, individual (different-shaped) members are used for the back guide member 27. Also, in this embodiment, as described above, the operator manually mounts the packaged object 2, which is the object to be attached, at the position of the inner double-sided tape 5 and attaches the packaged object 2 to the inner double-sided tape 5, that is, the backing paper 1. Therefore, this object attaching portion 15 is provided with a back positioning member 18 that defines the leftward position of the packaged object 2 in FIG. 6, that is, the back position in the plan view of FIG. 1, and a left positioning member 19 that defines the front position in FIG. 6, that is, the leftward position in FIG. 1. That is, the operator attaches the packaged object 2 to the inner double-sided tape 5 on the upper surface of the backing paper 1 such that the back of the cylindrical outer peripheral surface of the packaged object 2 abuts against the back positioning member 18 and the left end in the longitudinal direction of the packaged object 2 abuts against the left positioning member 19, whereby the packaged object 2 can be attached to the specified position on the upper surface of the backing paper 1. The operator performs this attachment operation not only to simply attach the packaged object 2 to the specified position but also to set the orientation of the packaged object 2 in the attached state to the specified orientation. As described above, this operation may be performed by an industrial robot or the like. Note that the back positioning member 18 and the left positioning member 19 are each configured with a fixing mechanism 54 so that the fixed positions can be changed and adjusted relatively easily in order to define the packaged objects 2 of a plurality of sizes at appropriate positions. Also, since the lower end of the back positioning member 18 and the lower end of the left positioning member 19 are slightly separated from the upper surface of the mounting table 8, the backing paper 1 that slides and moves on the upper surface of the mounting table 8 passes through the gap and does not interfere. These back positioning member 18 and left positioning member 19 may be retracted upward.

[0022] FIG. 7 shows a left side view (partial cross-section) of the sheet bending portion 16. In this sheet bending portion 16, a receiving member 55 having a large thickness and high rigidity is disposed at the lower part of the packaged object 2 instead of the mounting table 8. Above the receiving member 55, a pressing member 56 for pressing the packaged object 2 attached to the base paper 1 from above is provided, and this pressing member 56 is attached to an actuator 57 such as an air cylinder and is movable in the vertical direction in the figure. The lower surface of the pressing member 56 is recessed in a V shape so as to be able to contact the cylindrical outer peripheral surface of the packaged object 2. At the descending end of the pressing member 56, this V-shaped recess 58 contacts the cylindrical outer peripheral surface of the packaged object 2 and presses the packaged object 2 against the receiving member 55 side to hold it. For example, even when the attachment of the packaged object 2 to the base paper 1 at the object attachment portion 15 is insufficient, it is firmly attached to the base paper 1 by this pressing. A plurality of pressing members 56 having different sizes of the V-shaped recess 58 are prepared so as to be adaptable to the cylindrical outer peripheral surfaces of the packaged objects 2 of a plurality of sizes, and are replaced according to the size of the packaged object 2, and the position of the actuator 57 is also changed and adjusted accordingly.

[0023] Also, here, instead of the back guide member 27, a back movable guide member 29 is provided, and this back movable guide member 29 is attached to an actuator 59 such as an air cylinder and is movable to the front side and the back side in the plan view of FIG. 1. The front side position of the back movable guide member 29 is the normal position for guiding the back long side of the mount 1, and the back side position is the retracted position in the bending process of the mount 1 by the bending die 17 described later. The normal position of the back movable guide member 29 can be adjusted and changed according to the back long side positions of mounts 1 of a plurality of sizes. Further, a bending die 17 for bending the outer portion of the mount 1 in the width direction obliquely upward from the ruled line 4 is disposed at the lower left of the receiving member 55 in FIG. 7(a), and this bending die 17 is attached to an actuator 61 such as an air cylinder and is movable in the vertical direction. The bending die 17 is longitudinally long in the direction perpendicular to the paper surface and has a substantially rectangular cross section, but the upper surface and the side surface on the mount 1 side are obliquely removed. For example, as shown in FIG. 7(b), at the ascending end of the bending die 17, the outer portion of the mount 1 in the width direction from the ruled line 4 is bent obliquely at about 45°, and the outer double-sided tape 6 attached to that portion is attached to the cylindrical outer peripheral surface of the object to be packaged 2.

[0024] In this sheet bending portion 16, with the back-side movable guide member 29 in the normal position shown in Fig. 7(a), the mount 1 with the object to be packaged 2 attached thereto is conveyed. At this time, the back-side movable guide member 29 guides the back-side long side of the mount 1. After the mount 1 with the object to be packaged 2 attached thereto is conveyed, the pressing member 56 is lowered to press the object to be packaged 2 against the mount 1 side, and at the descending end, the object to be packaged 2 is pressed by the V-shaped recess 58. When the pressing, i.e., fixing, of the object to be packaged 2 is completed, the back-side movable guide member 29 is retracted to the back side. Then, the bending die 17 is raised to bend the outer portion in the width direction of the mount 1 obliquely upward from the ruled line 4. At the ascending end of this bending die 17, the outer double-sided tape 6 is attached to the cylindrical outer peripheral surface of the object to be packaged 2. Thereafter, the bending die 17 is lowered, the back-side movable guide member 29 is advanced to the normal position, and then the pressing member 56 is raised. As a result, a package 3 is completed in which two different locations on the cylindrical outer peripheral surface of the object to be packaged 2 are attached to the mount 1 and a crease is formed in the mount 1 between the attachment locations, and the package 3 is discharged by the discharge conveyor 22.

[0025] As described above, in this embodiment, the half-cut double-sided tapes 31 are attached to two locations on the mount 1. After the object to be packaged 2 is attached to the inner double-sided tape 5 among them, the mount 1 is bent toward the object to be packaged 2 including the attachment location of the outer double-sided tape 6, so that a crease is formed in the mount 1 along the object to be packaged 2, and two different locations in the circumferential direction of the cylindrical outer peripheral surface of the object to be packaged 2 can be attached to the mount 1 by the double-sided tapes 5 and 6. Therefore, the package 3 manufactured in this way is less likely to be bent by the weight of the object to be packaged 2, and when the object to be packaged 2 is a product, the appearance of the product displayed in suspension can be ensured.

[0026] Also, the double-sided tape attaching device 14 can attach the half-cut double-sided tape 31 with a liner, which is unwound from the wound body 32 of the half-cut double-sided tape 31 with a release liner attached, to the base sheet 1 while relatively moving the half-cut double-sided tape 31 with a liner by a predetermined length in the longitudinal direction of the double-sided tape with respect to the base sheet 1 and pressing it against the base sheet 1. In this double-sided tape attaching device 14, since it is not necessary to cut the double-sided tape, the adhesive component of the tape does not adhere to the cutting means and become unable to be cut, and the efficiency of the double-sided tape attaching process can be maintained high.

[0027] Further, by disposing positioning members 18 and 19 that define the attachment position of the packaged object 2 with respect to the base sheet 1, the packaged object 2 can be accurately attached to a predetermined position on the base sheet 1 by bringing the packaged object 2 into contact with the positioning members 18 and 19 and attaching it to the base sheet 1.

[0028] Also, a part of the cylindrical outer peripheral surface of the packaged object 2 is attached to a portion of the base sheet 1 to which the inner double-sided tape 5 is attached, the base sheet 1 is bent toward the packaged object 2 side, and a portion of the base sheet 1 to which the outer double-sided tape 6 is attached is attached to a different part of the cylindrical outer peripheral surface of the packaged object 2. Thereby, two different circumferential positions of the cylindrical outer peripheral surface of the packaged object 2 can be attached to the base sheet 1 by the double-sided tapes 5 and 6, and a crease is formed on the base sheet 1 along the packaged object 2 between the two attachment positions.

[0029] Also, the base sheet 1 is moved slidingly on the mounting table 8 by the transport mechanism 11 while being mounted on the mounting table 8, a part of the cylindrical outer peripheral surface of the packaged object 2 is pressed against the inner double-sided tape 5 attached to the upper surface of the base sheet 1 to attach the packaged object 2 to the upper surface of the base sheet 1, and while the cylindrical outer peripheral surface of the attached packaged object 2 is pressed from above, the end of the base sheet 1 is bent upward by the bending mold 17 and the outer double-sided tape 6 attached to the upper surface of the base sheet 1 is attached to a different part of the cylindrical outer peripheral surface of the packaged object 2. Thereby, except for the bending process of the base sheet 1, it becomes a process on the upper surface of the base sheet 1 that moves slidingly on the mounting table 8, so the configuration of the device can be simplified.

[0030] The above describes the tape-attaching and folding device for a paper sheet and the package according to the embodiment. However, the present invention is not limited to the configuration described in the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the gist of the present invention. For example, the arrangement and order of the steps in the device configuration of the above embodiment are merely examples, and for a package 3 or the like that attaches an object to be attached, such as the object 2, to a paper sheet member such as the mount 1, it can be appropriately developed with essential constituent elements.
