Patent number: 10556458Abstract: Single perforating unit is enabled to perforate for file binders and to cut milling grooves, while with a simple structure file-binder storage and booklet-binding can be carried out reliably. Configurations include: a convey-in path for sequentially transferring sheets; a stacker for collating into bundles sheets from the convey-in path; and an adhesive-layer applicator for adding an adhesive layer to the spine-closure edge of sheet bundles from the stacker. A perforating unit is provided in along the convey-in path, and a control unit for controlling position and/or number of perforations made by the perforating unit is provided with (1) a first operation mode in which it effects the punching of a predetermined number of holes in the edge of sheets, and (2) a second operation mode in which it effects the formation of a predetermined number of crenulated grooves in the edge of sheets.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2015Date of Patent: February 11, 2020Assignee: Nisca CorporationInventors: Sei Takahashi, Hideki Orii, Naoki Ueda, Keiichi Nagasawa, Kazuyuki Kubota

Patent number: 9061538Abstract: Bookbinding unit enabling, in encasing inner-leaf sheets in coversheets to form booklets, secure book-forming binding regardless of whether the inner-leaf sheets constitute a simple-sheet bundle or are made up of a plurality of folded-over signature sheets. Constituent components are: inner-leaf sheet tray; coversheet tray; bookbinding process path for guiding sheets from the inner-leaf sheet tray to successive adhesive-application and cover-binding locations; inner-leaf conveyor; coversheet conveyor for conveying coversheets to the cover-binding location; bundle-spine adhesive applicator in the adhesive-application location; and cover binder in the cover-binding location. Components' controller is configured to receive input as to whether inner-sheet-bundle makeup includes saddle-stitch sheets or is of simple sheets only, and, based on the bundle makeup information, varies its control of at least one of the coversheet conveyor, adhesive applicator, and cover binder.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2008Date of Patent: June 23, 2015Assignee: Nisca CorporationInventors: Keiichi Nagasawa, Kouichi Kitta, Hideki Orii
