Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a sheet processing apparatus that can stack and align multiple sheets before bonding them together.

  • The apparatus includes a stacking unit for stacking sheets and an alignment unit for aligning the positions of the sheets.
  • The alignment unit aligns the position of a second stack of sheets with a first stack of sheets.

Original Abstract Submitted

A sheet processing apparatus includes a stacking unit configured to stack a plurality of sheets, an alignment unit including a supporting portion on which the sheets are loaded, the alignment unit being configured to align positions of the sheets loaded on the supporting portion, and a bonding unit configured to bond the sheets loaded on the supporting portion to each other. The alignment unit is configured to align a position of the second sheet stack with the first sheet stack. The bonding unit is configured to heat and pressurize the second sheet stack aligned by the alignment unit such that sheets of the second sheet stack are bonded to each other with the adhesive and the first sheet stack and the second sheet stack are bonded to each other with the adhesive.
