Abstract

A laminator for laminating a film sheet on a surface of a substrate comprises: a pressure roller; a conveyor roller for supplying a substrate to the pressure roller; a film sheet-supplier which is reciprocally movable up and down for attaching a front end of a continuous flexible film sheet onto the front end of the surface of the substrate which has been moved by the conveyor roller and is stopped in front of the pressure roller; and a film sheet end-holder which is movable forward and backward and has on its front end a gas blowing face having a curve corresponding to the curve of the surface of the pressure roller so as to hold the film sheet in contact with the surface of the pressure roller.
