Abstract: A continuous paper web is fed in a longitudinal path. Glue is applied in transverse strips at regular intervals along the longitudinally disposed continuous web over a part only of the width of the web. A first plow folds over a portion of the web having the transverse glue strips to a position above an adjacent flat portion of the web. An insert or stuffer is fed into the web between the folded over portion and the flat portion and against an inner crotch thereof formed by the fold line. The space between the folded over portion and the flat portion away from the fold is open and forms a wide mouth to readily receive the inserts delivered thereto. This first folded over portion is then closed down over the inserts lying on the flat portion causing the glue strips to seal onto the flat portion. The folded over portion and the flat portion of the web contain inserts between each of the transverse glue strips.

Abstract: An apparatus for the printing industry in which a web tucker and cutter on one operational roller engages a combination gripper means and anvil on a cooperative operational roller to cause a bight of a printed web to be inserted into the gripper means and simultaneously to effect a severing of the bight portion so that the gripper means engages the severed ends of the web for subsequent folding in the making of a booklet.
