[Modes for carrying out the invention] 【0030】 Hereinafter, a sheet-making apparatus according to one aspect of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the description with reference to the drawings, in Figure 1, the sheet-making apparatus is shown placed on a mounting surface, and its top, bottom, left, right, and front and back directions are indicated by arrows. The descriptions of top, bottom, left, right, and front and back in the explanation will be based on these directions. 【0031】 Figure 1 is a perspective view of a sheet making apparatus 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, viewed from the front. Figure 2 is a perspective view of the sheet making apparatus 1 viewed from the rear. 【0032】 The sheet-making apparatus 1 shown in Figures 1 and 2 is a device that creates a single laminated sheet 20 (see Figures 4 and 5) by bonding together, for example, three sheet members (first sheet member 21, second sheet member 22, and third sheet member 23). The sheet-making apparatus 1 is used by placing the lower end 5d of the apparatus body 5 on a horizontal mounting surface 60. In the mounted state, the apparatus body 5 has a holding part 10 that opens at its upper end 5u and separately holds the three sheet members 21, 22, and 23. 【0033】 Furthermore, the device body 5 is provided with a restricting section 18 that can be operated to drop the held sheet members 21, 22, and 23 onto the bonding section 15 (see Figure 3) below them. The restricting section 18 is a plate-shaped member, as will be described later, and a portion of it is provided with operating sections 18a and 18b as exposed sections that are exposed to the left and right from the outer surface 5s of the device body 5. That is, the restricting section 18 is provided so as to be movable in the left and right directions relative to the device body 5, as will be described later, and the operating sections 18a and 18b can be operated by pushing them in. 【0034】 Below the regulating section 18, a rotatable, substantially cylindrical bonding operation section 8 is provided. This bonding operation section 8 is connected to the main roller 15a (see Figure 3), which will be described later, of the bonding section 15, and rotates in a predetermined direction (clockwise in the illustration). This rotational operation presses and bonds the three sheet members supplied to the bonding section 15 in the thickness direction while feeding them downward. 【0035】 The front of the main body 5 of the device is provided with a front opening 9a that allows the main roller 15a of the roller pair constituting the bonding section 15 to be seen. Below the front opening 9a, there is an outlet 6 with a wall surface that curves forward (see Figure 3) to discharge the bonded sheets 20 after bonding is complete. On the rear side of the main body 5 of the device is provided with a rear opening 9b that allows the driven roller 15b of the roller pair constituting the bonding section 15 to be seen, as shown in Figure 2. The length (L9) in the left-right direction of the rear opening 9b and the front opening 9a is configured to allow the entire width of the outer circumferential surfaces 15as and 15bs of both rollers 15a and 15b to be seen, and is configured to be larger than the width of each sheet member 21, 22, and 23. 【0036】 Figure 3 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the portion along line AA in Figure 1. In the holding section 10, as shown in Figure 3, three sheet members 21, 22, and 23 are held such that a portion of them protrudes above the device. This sheet holding structure consists of guide sections 11a, 12a, and 13a that guide the left and right sheet edges 21e, 22e, and 23e (see Figure 5) when each sheet member is set, and a restricting section 18 that engages with a portion of the leading edge 21t, 22t, and 23t (see Figure 5) on the lower end side of the sheet to restrict it from falling. The sheet edges 21e, 22e, and 23e are portions that do not include the adhesive surface. 【0037】 The first holding portion 11, which holds the first sheet member 21, is located closest to and directly above the bonding portion 15. The second holding portion 12, which holds the second sheet member 22, is located in front of the first holding portion 11 and is inclined with a first inclination angle θ1 with respect to the vertical so that the second sheet member 22 falls toward the bonding portion 15. The third holding portion 13, which holds the third sheet member 23, is located in front of the second holding portion 12 and is inclined with a second inclination angle θ2 which is greater than the first inclination angle θ1 so that the third sheet member 23 falls toward the bonding portion 15. 【0038】 Thus, the holding portion 10 uses the first holding portion 11, which holds the first sheet member 21 in a state aligned with the vertical direction, as the arrangement order from the first holding portion 11 increases to the second, third, and so on, and the angle of inclination with respect to the vertical direction increases. 【0039】 The bonding section 15, located below the holding section 10, is composed of a main roller 15a and a driven roller 15b, both extending in the left-right direction. The main roller 15a is connected to the bonding operation section 8 and rotated. The driven roller 15b, positioned so as to face the outer peripheral surface 15as of the main roller 15a and have its outer peripheral surface 15bs in contact with it, rotates in a driven manner when a sheet member is sandwiched between the main roller 15a and the driven roller 15b, receiving the driving force of the main roller 15a. 【0040】 Figure 4 is a perspective view of the holding portion 10 of the device body 5, viewed from above. The holding section 10 has a roughly rectangular opening when viewed from above, and is arranged in the order of the first holding section 11, the second holding section 12, and the third holding section 13 from the rear of the device. As described above, each holding section 11, 12, and 13 is configured to individually hold the first sheet member 21, the second sheet member 22, and the third sheet member 23 by a pair of front and rear wall surfaces with groove-shaped guide sections 11a, 12a, and 13a that guide the left and right ends of the sheet member. In other words, the holding section 10 that guides each sheet member only holds and guides the sheet ends 21e, 22e, and 23e, and has an open structure in which no wall structure is provided that faces the front and back surfaces of the sheet member. 【0041】 Furthermore, a groove 19 is provided between the second holding portion 12 and the third holding portion 13. This groove 19 is a groove to which a holding plate 40 can be attached. As shown in Figure 3, the holding plate 40 is fitted into the groove 19 and is attached so as to extend upward above the main body of the device 5, thereby holding the second sheet member 22 in place so as not to fall over. 【0042】 Figure 5 is a perspective view of each sheet component before bonding. In this embodiment, the three sheet members, the first sheet member 21, the second sheet member 22, and the third sheet member, as shown in Figure 5, are set in the aforementioned holding unit 10 in a predetermined orientation. After the sheet members are set, the regulating unit 18 and the bonding operation unit 8 are operated to create the bonded sheet 20. 【0043】 The first sheet member 21 is relatively thicker than the other sheet members and functions as a backing. This first sheet member 21 has an adhesive layer 21b on one side (the upper side in the figure). This adhesive layer 21b is not provided on the sheet edge 21e on the outer circumference of the first sheet member 21. Since this sheet edge 21e is guided by the guide portion 11a, the first sheet member 21 can move smoothly without sticking to the guide portion. 【0044】 The second sheet member 22 can be made of, for example, a sheet with a predetermined character drawn on it, or a photograph. This second sheet member 22 has a design drawn on its surface, except for the sheet edge 22e, and does not have an adhesive layer on either the front or back surface. 【0045】 The third sheet member 23 is a light-transmitting sheet with an adhesive layer 23b on one of its surfaces (the lower back side in the figure), allowing the pattern on the second sheet member 22 to be visually observed. The third sheet member 23 may also have decorative patterns in addition to the transparent portion to decorate the pattern on the second sheet member 22. Furthermore, the adhesive layer 23b is not provided on the sheet edge 23e on the outer circumference of the third sheet member 23. This sheet edge 23e is guided by the guide portion 13a, allowing the third sheet member 23 to move smoothly without sticking to the guide portion. 【0046】 Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view showing the sheet bonding state along the BB line in Figure 5. As shown in Figure 6, the laminated sheet 20 is formed by laminating a second sheet member 22 between the adhesive layer 21b of the first sheet member 21 and the adhesive layer 23b of the third sheet member 23. Furthermore, non-adhesive sheet ends 20e are formed at the sheet ends 21e, 22e, and 23e, where lamination has not been performed. In this laminated sheet 20, the non-adhesive sheet ends 20e are cut off after lamination to complete the laminated sheet 20. 【0047】 Figure 7 is an enlarged cross-sectional perspective view of the bearing portion of the roller pair in the bonding section 15. The bonding section 15 is provided on the main roller 15a and the driven roller 15b, with their outer circumferential surfaces 15as and 15bs facing each other so that they can contact each other. The rotation axis 15af of the rotationally driven main roller 15a is supported by a circular bearing portion 5j so that it can rotate without the rotation center moving. The rotation axis 15bf of the driven roller 15b is supported by an elongated hole bearing portion 5g so that it can rotate. The elongated hole bearing portion 5g is inclined so that the longitudinal direction of its elongated hole is directed downward toward the main roller 15a. In other words, the rotation axis 15bf of the driven roller 15b rotates under a force that moves it in a direction that gradually approaches the main roller 15a due to the roller rotation during bonding. This ensures that the sheet members are bonded together reliably. 【0048】 Figure 8 is a horizontally cut cross-sectional perspective view of the area where the regulatory portion 18 is located. The restricting portion 18 is positioned to form the bottom surface of the holding portion 10 and is configured as an integral plate member, as shown in Figure 8. The restricting portion 18 extends in the left-right direction of the device body 5 and is installed so as to be slidable in the left-right direction. The restricting portion 18 also has exposed portions on both its left and right ends that protrude from the outer surface 5s of the device body 5. These exposed portions are configured as operating portions 18a and 18b that are pressed to the left and right to slide the entire restricting portion 18. The restricting portion 18 also includes a front protruding piece 18d that protrudes to the front and a rear protruding piece 18e that protrudes to the rear, and both protruding pieces 18d and 18e are slidably supported on the slide support surface 5i of the device body 5. 【0049】 Next, the operation of the regulatory unit 18 will be described. Figure 9 is an explanatory diagram showing the positional relationship between the regulating unit 18 and each of the sheet members 21, 22, and 23, in order to explain the operation of the regulating unit 18. 【0050】 When a sheet member is placed into the holding section 10, the three stepped edge positions P1, P2, and P3, located on the left side in the figure, hold the lower edges of each sheet member 21, 22, and 23 to prevent them from falling and restrict their position. In this holding state, the first restricting position P1 contacts the leading edge 21t of the first sheet member 21 with a contact range length L1 to restrict its position. Similarly, the second restricting position P2 contacts the leading edge 22t of the second sheet member 22 with a contact range length L2 to restrict its position. Furthermore, the third restricting position P3 contacts the leading edge 23t of the third sheet member 23 with a contact range length L3 to restrict its position. 【0051】 The restricting state of the restricting unit 18 is released, for example, by pressing the operating unit 18a. By operating the operating unit 18a, the restricting unit 18 moves to the left (X1) in the left-right direction (first direction (X)) along the leading edges 21t, 22t, and 23t of the sheet members 21, 22, and 23, relative to the direction of movement of each sheet member 21, 22, and 23, which is the downward direction (direction toward the back of the page in Figure 9). That is, by moving the restricting unit 18 to the left (X1), first, the restricting position P1 moves to the left in the figure relative to the left end of the first sheet member 21, and the first sheet member 21 begins to fall. Next, the restricting position P2 moves to the left in the figure relative to the left end of the second sheet member 22, and the second sheet member 22 begins to fall. Then, the restricting position P3 moves to the left in the figure relative to the left end of the third sheet member 23, and the third sheet member 23 begins to fall. 【0052】 In this way, the timing of the release of restrictions occurs in the order of the first sheet member 21, the second sheet member 22, and the third sheet member 23, so that each sheet member 21, 22, and 23 reaches the bonding section 15 sequentially, starting with the first sheet member 21. As a result, the second sheet member 22 and the third sheet member 23 are accurately supplied to the bonding position on the first sheet member 21, which is supplied vertically to the bonding section 15. After that, by rotating the bonding operation unit 8, the bonded sheet 20 bonded by the bonding section 15 is discharged from the discharge port 6. 【0053】 Furthermore, by pressing the left operating part 18b, the regulating part 18 moves to the right (X2), thereby returning to a position where it can hold each of the sheet members 21, 22, and 23. 【0054】 (modified version) The restricting section 18 shown in Figures 8 and 9 is configured to extend in the left-right direction of the device body 5. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and for example, it may be configured to slide in a second direction (Y) (see Figure 9), which is the front-rear direction of the device body 5. In this configuration, the restricting section 18 that moves in the front-rear direction is equipped with an operating section exposed in the front-rear direction from the device body 5. The operation of the operating section is configured to move in the front-rear direction (forward direction (Y1) and rearward direction (Y2)). In this configuration, when the edge of the surface that holds the lower edge of each sheet member 21, 22, 23 moves in the front direction (Y1) of the device body 5, the first sheet member 21, the second sheet member 22, and the third sheet member 23 can be configured to start falling in that order. 【0055】 As described above, the sheet manufacturing apparatus 1 of this embodiment is provided with a regulating unit 18 that can control the timing of movement to the bonding unit 15 so that multiple sheet members 21, 22, and 23 are overlapped, thereby enabling the supply of sheets in an order suitable for bonding multiple sheet members 21, 22, and 23. 【0056】 In the sheet manufacturing apparatus 1 of this embodiment, a holding unit 10 is provided for holding sheet members (first sheet member 21, second sheet member 22, third sheet member 23) according to type, making it easy to set individual supply timings for each type of sheet member. 【0057】 In the sheet manufacturing apparatus 1 of this embodiment, the first sheet member 21, which constitutes the thickest base in the completed sheet (bonded sheet 20) after bonding is complete, is configured to reach the bonding section 15 first, thereby enabling accurate placement and positioning of other sheet members by supplying them onto the first sheet member 21. 【0058】 In the sheet manufacturing apparatus 1 of this embodiment, the first holding part 11 that accommodates the first sheet member 21 in the vertical direction is positioned directly above the bonding part 15, and the inclination angles of the other holding parts with respect to the first holding part 11 increase in descending order of overlapping, thereby enabling accurate pinpoint supply to the bonding part 15. 【0059】 In the sheet manufacturing apparatus 1 of this embodiment, the movement of each sheet member 21, 22, and 23 to the bonding section 15 is by free fall, eliminating the need for drive means or biasing members for moving the sheet members and thus simplifying the apparatus structure. 【0060】 In the sheet making apparatus 1 of this embodiment, the first sheet member 21 is positioned directly above the gap between the pair of rollers (bonding portion 15), thereby allowing the first sheet member 21 to be positioned as close to the bonding portion 15 as possible. 【0061】 In the sheet manufacturing apparatus 1 of this embodiment, the holding section 10 is equipped with guide sections 11a, 12a, and 13a that guide only the sheet edges 21e, 22e, and 23e along the direction of movement of the sheet member. This allows the non-adhesive areas of the sheet edges 21e, 22e, and 23e to be guided even when the sheet member has an adhesive area, enabling smooth sheet supply. 【0062】 In the sheet making apparatus 1 of this embodiment, the holding section 10 has a groove 19 into which a plate (holding plate 40) capable of holding the orientation of the sheet member can be attached, thereby stabilizing the orientation of the held sheet member. Furthermore, even if the sheet member is larger than the size of the holding section 10, the sheet member can be securely held. 【0063】 Furthermore, according to the sheet manufacturing apparatus 1 of this embodiment, the restricting unit 18 is configured as a plate member with different shapes for each sheet member, with contact ranges L1, L2, L3 (contact length) of the restricting contact portion that contacts the leading edges 21t, 22t, 23t of the sheet members in the direction of movement of the sheet members 21, 22, 23 and restricts their movement. This allows the timing of the sheet members' movement to be differentiated by the movement of the restricting unit 18. 【0064】 In the sheet making apparatus 1 of this embodiment, the regulating unit 18 is composed of a plate member with an integrated structure that can simultaneously support the leading edges 21t, 22t, and 23t of the multiple sheet members 21, 22, and 23. As a result, the movement of the multiple sheet members 21, 22, and 23 can be restricted and controlled by operating only one plate member. 【0065】 According to the sheet making apparatus 1 of this embodiment, the restricting unit 18 is provided so as to be movable in a direction intersecting the direction of movement of the plurality of sheet members 21, 22, 23, so that the position restriction of the sheet members can be easily released by the restricting unit 18 moving horizontally (movement in the first and second directions) with respect to the lower edge in the free fall direction of the sheet members (leading edge 21t, 22t, 23t in the direction of movement). 【0066】 In the sheet making apparatus 1 of this embodiment, the restricting unit 18 is equipped with operating units 18a and 18b that are partially exposed on the outer surface 5s of the sheet making apparatus 1 body, thereby facilitating the sliding movement of the restricting unit 18. 【0067】 In the sheet making apparatus 1 of this embodiment, the bonding section 15 is composed of a pair of main rollers 15a and driven rollers 15b with their outer peripheral surfaces 15as and 15bs facing each other, so that a pressing force can be applied to the entire surface of the multiple overlapping sheet members 21, 22, and 23. 【0068】 Furthermore, in the driven roller 15b, which rotates in accordance with the main roller 15a, the rotation axis 15bf is supported so as to be movable in a direction approaching the main roller 15a in accordance with the bonding operation (supported by the elongated hole bearing portion 5g). As a result, an effective pressing force can be generated by the driven roller 15b during the roller rotation of the sheet member bonding operation. 【0069】 In the sheet making apparatus 1 of this embodiment, the main roller 15a and the driven roller 15b are configured to be visible from the openings (front opening 9a, rear opening 9b) of the sheet making apparatus 1, so that jamming of the sheet material can be approached from the openings. Furthermore, since the width of the openings in the roller axis direction is configured to be larger than the width of the sheet material, it becomes easier to remove the sheet material to the outside when jamming occurs. 【0070】 Although one aspect of the present invention has been described above, the present invention can be modified as appropriate within the scope of its technical concept. For example, the above embodiment describes the case in which three sheet members are bonded together, but for example, there may be two sheet members. 【0071】 Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the groove 19 for mounting the retaining plate 40 is provided between the second retaining portion 12 and the third retaining portion 13, but it is not limited to this configuration, and for example, it may be provided on the front side of the third retaining portion 13.
