  • Patent number: 10780725
    Abstract: An end paper arrangement and method for forming the front and back end paper of a book wherein the end paper arrangement comprises an inner sheet and outer sheet which are fastened on one side against each other over at least one area so that an unfastened area remains between the fastened areas. The unfastened area forms a tunnel for the spine of the book. On that side of the inner sheet which is opposite to the fastened side there is an adhesive surface on both edge parts, and there is an adhesive-free area between the adhesive surfaces. On the side of the outer sheet which is opposite to the fastened side, there is an adhesive surface on both edge parts, and there is an adhesive-free area between the adhesive surfaces. The method performs the assembly set forth in the arrangement.

  • Patent number: 9701149
    Abstract: A glue cartridge (130) comprises a glue tank (101), a rotatable glue spreading roller (104) connected to the glue tank, which is arranged directly below the glue tank (101) and at least one rotation means (106, 107) usable from outside the glue cartridge (130) for rotating the glue spreading roller (104). The glue spreading roller (104) of the glue cartridge is designed so that the form of the glue spreading roller (104) prevents glue from escaping from the glue tank (101) when the glue spreading roller (104) is in place and takes glue from the glue tank (101) when the glue spreading roller (104) is rotated. A block (1360) of sheets to be bound to form a book is set in a bookbinding device (1300), and glue is spread on the spine (1362) of the block (1360) in such a way that glue is obtainable from an exchangeable glue cartridge (130) by using a receiving unit (150) for the glue cartridge (130).

  • Publication number: 20120052254
    Abstract: A method for fastening a sheet block (32) to a binding cover (41, 51), implemented in such a way that i) a binding (30) is formed by fastening to at least one side of a sheet block (32), at least one inner cover sheet (10) according to any of the claims 1 to 5 at the location of the attenuation component (12) by fastening devices (33) such as staples, for example, penetrating through the inner cover sheet (10); and ii) fastening the binding (30) thus created to the binding cover (41, 51) by gluing the binding (30) to the inner side (61, 62) of the binding cover (41, 51) by using the adhesive surface or surfaces (11) of at least one inner cover sheet (10). Independent patent claims for an inner cover sheet and a binding.

  • Publication number: 20110278831
    Abstract: The binding edge (61) of a sheet block (31) is protected by a binding back (10) which is fastened to the binding edge (61) of the sheet block (31) in the area and along the length of a non-adhesive strip (12) in the binding back (10) by using fastening devices (33) such as staples, for example, penetrating through the binding back (10) and the sheet block (31). After this, the free end part (21) of the binding back (10) is folded over the non-adhesive strip (12), in which case the remaining edge (23) of the end part (21) extends to the opposite side of the sheet block (31) over the binding edge (61). After this, the adhesive surface (15) is glued to the side of the sheet block (31) that is opposite the non-adhesive strip (12), in which case the backing piece (18) protects the binding edge (61) of the sheet block (31). An independent claim also for a binding back (10) and a binding.

  • Patent number: 7753635
    Abstract: A method and device for manufacturing the covers of a book using a surface material and cover pieces glued to it. In order to glue the cover pieces to the surface material, a device equipped with a work table is used, on top of which the surface material is positioned. The cover pieces are glued to the surface material by supporting one end of them, in the initial stage, free of the glue surface with the aid of a shelf-like support piece and commencing gluing from a point farthest from the said end.

  • Patent number: 7326018
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for glue-binding a bundle of paper to form a book, booklet, or similar, by using a band, to be glued to the spine of the bundle, and which extends for a limited distance to the sides of the bundle, and which is intended to shape the bundle. The turning of that part of the band, which extends over the spine, to the side of the bundle, is ensured by using a tool, such as a sheet, under the band, which extends sufficiently to lie on top of the nipping beam already in the area outside of the edge of the band.

  • Patent number: 7182567
    Abstract: A method and device for additional pressing during a page nipping event in the adhesive binding of books or corresponding objects. One part of the cover (1) and the spine of the book are folded around the block (2) formed by the book's pages and glued on the spine of the block. The other part of the cover is folded into shape by means of a moveable jaw (8). The aforementioned folding of the cover (1) is accomplished by the aid of an additional compactor (9) acting by way of a stiffening brace (10) supporting the block (2). Alternatively, the process may be aided directly by the flexible support (7) by, for example, making a fold in the support (7) which causes it to function as a spring.
