A pressing apparatus is provided with a pair of rollers which are driven in rotation while the outer peripheral surfaces thereof are facing each other. When a continuous fibrous sheet on which a polymer is layered with a thermoplastic adhesive interposed is passed through the gap between the pair of rollers in the continuation direction of the continuous fibrous sheet, the polymer and the continuous fibrous sheet are compressed by the outer peripheral surfaces of the rollers into a single piece. The pressing apparatus comprises a heating mechanism for heating at least the roller on the side of the continuous fibrous sheet. The rollers are heated by the heating mechanism in such a way that the temperature of the outer peripheral surfaces of the rollers is within the range of 70 C - 120 C.本發明的課題,是在於減輕接著劑對輥筒之外周面的附著以及減輕纖維狀連續薄片對該外周面的貼附。本發明的解決手段:為具備有使彼此的外周面相對向地進行驅動旋轉的一對輥筒,且在使中介熱可塑性接著劑而疊合有疊合物之狀態下的纖維狀連續薄片,沿著其連續方向通過上述一對輥筒彼此之間的輥筒間隙時,利用上述外周面將上述疊合物與上述纖維狀連續薄片予以一體地夾壓的輥壓裝置。具有:將上述一對的輥筒之中之至少位在上述纖維狀連續薄片之側之位置的輥筒予以加熱的加熱機構。並藉由上述加熱機構來加熱上述輥筒,將上述輥筒的外周面溫度限定在70℃~120℃的範圍。2、2a...半成品3...吸收體(疊合物)4...第1纖維狀連續薄片(纖維狀連續薄片)4a、4b...第1纖維狀連續薄片的一部分6...第2纖維狀連續薄片(纖維狀連續薄片)6a、6b...第2纖維狀連續薄片的一部分10...輥壓裝置10a...輥壓裝置12...輥壓輥筒12s...外周面22...發熱體22h...容納孔24...溫度感應器30...接著劑塗佈裝置Gr...輥筒間隙C12...旋轉軸
