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).

Abstract: A binding platform that can be used in bookbinding, which comprises a supporting surface suitable for supporting a bundle of sheets, a number of finger-like members extending from the edge of supporting surface essentially perpendicularly to the supporting surface and against which the rear edge of the bundle of sheets to be placed on the supporting surface can be aligned and which are configured in such a way that a stapling gap remains between each of the finger-like members. At least one limiter is located under the finger-like members and supporting surface, the limiter being indented with respect to the inner edge of the stapling gaps.

Abstract: An exchangeable glue cartridge to be used in a bookbinding machine comprises a retaining arrangement which forms a self-adjusting or adjustable jaw wherein the platform of the glue cartridge can be pushed in such a way that the glue spreading roller is downward or remains downward. The jaw limits the vertical mobility of the glue cartridge in both directions by limiting the mobility of the platform. In addition, the system comprises at least one rotatable converter for transmitting the motion to at least one rotating device located in the glue cartridge while the glue cartridge is mounted in place. By means of the self-adjusting or adjustable jaw it is possible to increase the manufacturing tolerances of the glue cartridge and to prevent the glue cartridge from getting blocked in the system.

Abstract: A method for preparing sheet material (10, 80) to be used for a page of a book comprises forming—in essentially an even sheet material (10, 80) adapted for use in a modern printing method in which the sheet material (10, 80) runs through a set of cylinders and/or rolls—at least one hinge area (18), extending for a distance (L, K+L) from the edge (14) of the sheet material (10, 80) that is intended as the binding edge of a book, towards the center of the sheet material (10, 80), by making, in the hinge area (18) of the sheet material (10, 80), several weakenings (11) that are parallel to the edge (14), are adjacent to each other and are located at increasing distances with respect to each other from the edge of the sheet material (10, 80) intended as the binding edge of a book, by making the weakenings (11): a) without piercing the sheet material (10, 80) and without essentially removing fibers from the sheet material (10, 80) in the hinge area (18), and b) in such a way that at least some of the weakenings (1

Abstract: A machine (10) for fastening sheets comprises a) a fastening platform (11, 12, 13), which i) comprises a support surface (12) inclined with respect to the horizontal plane (x-y) which optionally also comprises extension means for the support surface, and ii) comprises an alignment surface (13), which is located at the bottom edge of the support surface or lower than this, in such a way that the intersection of the plane formed by the support surface and the plane formed by the alignment surface is formed, with respect to the support surface, by a threshold (100) extending along the width of the support surface, and b) a fastening unit (14).

Abstract: A system for controlling a blowout location at an offshore oilfield comprises: a support construction that is movable next to a blowout location in an offshore oilfield and that can be set to rest in seabed, the support construction comprising: a) a first foundation part and a second foundation part that are located at a distance from each other; b) support members that are located at a distance from each other; and a funnel structure that is movable along the support members, the funnel structure comprising connecting members that are form-locking with the support members. The first foundation part, the second foundation part and the support members are so configured that the blowout location can be restricted a) between the first foundation part and the second foundation part and b) between the support members.

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.

At least the photograph sheets (3) and the divider sheets (4) are positioned for gluing by using positioning means (e.g. 11-15, 20), the position of which relative to the glued piece can be moved away from the location of the glued piece.

Abstract: An operating device in an application, in which movement in two different devices can be created using a single operating lever (9), the device being based on the rotation of sprockets. A sprocket (11) attached to the shaft (10) of the operating lever (9) is equipped on only part of its circumference with teeth that engage with the adjacent sprockets (13, 15). The operating device is mainly intended to move the press carrier and sidenipping device of a glue-binding device (1).

Abstract: Method and device for folding the parts of the surface film (9) of a book cover (8), which protrude from the cover, onto the cover and attaching them to the inner surface of the cover. For this purpose, a device formed of two rollers (2, 3) is used. A gap is formed between the rollers, which is smaller than the thickness of the cover (8) being dealt with. At least one roller (3) is loaded by a spring towards the other roller (2). The cover (8) being dealt with, to which a surface film (9) is glued, in such a way that its edges protrude outside the edges of the cover, is brought against the surface of the other roller at an essentially slanting position, and the edge of cover is turned, while continuing to press it against the roller, between the rollers for at least the distance of the film folded against the inner surface of the cover takin it into the ressure of the rollers.

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.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for hot—gluing a bundle (2), particularly in a device that includes a glue reservoir (7) for storing a glue that has been made fluid, a glue-spreading roller (6) for spreading the glue onto the spine surface of the bundle (2), press devices, (3,4,5,2 1, 21?) for holding the bundle (2), and possible side-nip devices (16, 19, 20) for finishing the shape of the book. The bundle (2), which is held between two symmetrically positioned press plates (21, 21?), is pressed with the glue-spreading roller (6) to bend or fan out the edge of the bundle (2) and to open a gap between the cover sheet (11) and the outermost sheet of the bundle.
