Method and apparatus for adhering light-shielding sheets respectively onto transparent bodies

An apparatus for adhering respectively a plurality of light-shielding sheets of a band onto a plurality of transparent bodies, the band further having a connecting unit connected integrally to the light-shielding sheets such that said light-shielding sheets are arranged along a longitudinal direction of said band, said apparatus comprising:

• an adhesion unit including
• a base,
• a supporting unit disposed on said base,
• an ultraviolet-irradiating unit disposed on said base and adapted to irradiate the transparent bodies individually with ultraviolet light so as to cure an ultraviolet glue applied on the transparent body,
• a movable unit disposed directly above said supporting unit and movable toward and away from said supporting unit, the moving unit including a positioning unit adapted to be moved to engage the band so as to position one of the light-shielding sheets relative to said supporting unit, a pressing unit adapted to be moved to press the one of the light-shielding sheets against a corresponding one of the transparent bodies so as to adhere the one of the light-shielding sheets onto the corresponding one of the transparent bodies to thereby form an optical lens unit, and a cutting unit adapted to be moved to cut the band so as to remove the one of the light-shielding sheets from the remaining portion of the band, and
• a driving unit for moving said movable unit relative to said supporting unit;
• and
• a plurality of holders, each of which is adapted to receive one of the transparent bodies and is movable onto said supporting unit of said adhesion unit.
