PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sheet folding device for folding a sheet 1 along a folding line 2 and doubly overlapping the sheet so that the folding device is not interfered with other devices when the sheet is folded, and the sheet is worked by other device. SOLUTION: A holding means 5 is provided on one end of a cylinder 3, the sheet is held by the holding means in a vicinity of one end of the sheet 1, a rotary shaft 7 is disposed with a space from the folding line, and a driving mechanism 8 is assembled therewith so that the cylinder is inverted around the rotary shaft. In addition, a control device is connected to the driving mechanism and the cylinder, and the cylinder is inverted by the driving mechanism after holding the sheet. At the same time, the cylinder extends with an adequate stroke, and the sheet is folded by the driving mechanism, the cylinder and the holding means. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
