To provide a thermally activating device including a discharge mechanism which forcibly separates, from a thermal head, an adhesive sheet that has been thermally activated and conveys the adhesive sheet, the thermal activating device realizing discharge of the adhesive sheet in a stable state while minimizing adhesion of an adhesive material to the discharge mechanism and the influence of such adhesion. <??>A thermally activating device includes: a conveyor roller 56 situated rearward of a thermal head 51 and a platen roller 52 and adapted to convey a heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 21 that has been thermally activated while passing the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 21 over an upper side thereof; and driving means for rotationally driving this conveyor roller 56, in which the side of the conveyor roller 56 over which the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 21 passes is formed as a space larger than the thickness of the adhesive sheet 21, and drive force is transmitted to the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 21 from the lower surface side thereof by rotationally driving the conveyor roller 56, thereby discharging the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 21 to the outside of the device. The conveyor roller 56 is configured such that a part of the roller outer circumference thereof is offset by 0.3 mm or more to the platen roller 52 side from a reference plane H obtained by extending a head surface of the thermal head 51. <IMAGE> |
