Combination of sheet roll with subshaft, producing apparatus thereof, packaging apparatus thereof, and production system thereof

Abstract

An uncrumpling and cutting apparatus cuts a predetermined length of an end portion of a heat transfer recording sheet of a sheet roll obtained by winding the heat transfer recording sheet around an outer periphery of a shaft roll, and a lead sheet sticking apparatus sticks an end of a lead sheet to the end portion of the heat transfer recording sheet. A subshaft sticking apparatus sticks a subshaft to the lead sheet, and a lead sheet winding apparatus winds up the lead sheet to wrap-the sheet roll and the subshaft. A tying portion ties a combination of a sheet roll with a subshaft with a strip, thereby bundling the combination. Then the combination thus tied is packed in a package bag by a packaging portion. A transferring and mounting portion lays an even number of combinations as alternately reversing orientations thereof, and an encasing portion encases the combinations thus laid in a container.
