Abstract
A gear assembly of a laminating apparatus includes a fixed gear device and an adjustable gear device connected between a motor and the fixed gear. The adjustable gear device includes a transmission shaft driven by the motor to rotate, a movable gear sleeved on and slidable along the axial direction of the transmission shaft, and an urging device coupled to the movable gear. The movable gear engages with a fixed gear in an object laminating mode but disengages from the fixed gear in an object releasing mode. For disengaging the movable gear from the fixed gear, an external force is exerted to force the movable gear to move toward and sustain against the urging device, and for restoring the engagement of the movable gear with the fixed gear, the external force is released to have the urging device push the moveable gear back to the engaging position.
