Method and device for separating a backing sheet from an adhesive sheet

摘要

Described are a method and a device for separating a backing sheet from an adhesive sheet comprises a base sheet (11) whereon adhesive (11b) is applied to one surface and the backing sheet (12) laminated to the base sheet (11) by the adhesive 11b. Method and device can reliably and efficiently perform the operation of removing the backing sheet from adhesive sheet and can be automated with a simple structure. In the separation method the end of the adhesive sheet (10) is supported leaving a free end (10a), and separation means (8) is used to bend the free end (10a) in the front-to-back direction until slippage occurs between the adhesive (11b) and the backing sheet (12). While in this state the separation means (8) is withdrawn from the adhesive sheet (10) as it traces the end surface at the free end (10a).
