Abstract
The film sticking apparatus includes: a gripping member; a pressing member pressing the adhesive face of the film being held in a planar state against one end face of a cylindrical honeycomb structure having a plurality of cells, and thus sticking the film to the one end face; and a folding member having an opening portion formed that allows an end of the honeycomb structure on the side to which the film is stuck to be inserted, wherein the folding member folds a protruding portion of the film protruding from the one end face of the honeycomb structure by inserting the honeycomb structure into the opening portion, toward a side face of the honeycomb structure, and simultaneously presses at least a part of the folded protruding portion against a part of the side face of the honeycomb structure to stick the film to the side face.
