Abstract

A device for adhering a protective film to a personal data recording surface of an individual identification booklet comprising a heat press board and a pressure receiving board disposed in vertically opposed relationship, an upper and a lower belt disposed between opposing surfaces of the heat press board and the pressure receiving board, and a booklet transfer mechanism interposed between opposing surfaces of the upper and lower belts and adapted to intermittently transfer an identification booklet. The upper and lower belts and the identification booklet interposed between the upper and lower belts are heated while being held under pressure between the opposing surfaces of the heat press board and the pressure receiving board so that the protective film bound into the identification booklet is thermally adhered to the personal data recording surface when the book transfer mechanism stops transferring of the identification booklet.
