Abstract: The creaser 2 includes a project part 21 for forming the crease 120 on the sheet 101 and a receive part 22 for receiving the project part 21. The project part 21 is moved between a crease position and a standby potion, the project part 21 being at the crease position so as to form the crease 120 on the sheet 101, the project part 21 being away from the sheet 101 at the standby position so as not to form the crease 120 on the sheet 101. The input device 6 includes a selector 60 for selecting the sheet 101 to be creased by the creaser 2 from among the sheets 101 fed from the conveyer 1, the input device 6 sending the information of the selection to the controller 5.

Abstract: A buckle (3, 4) is provided with a position adjustable stopper (5, 6) for stopping a sheet (P) by coming into collision with the leading edge of the sheet (P) so as to position the sheet in a fold position. In the inlet of the buckle, there are provided a pair of rotary drive folding rollers (20a, 20b; 20c, 20d) for taking the sheet in the buckle, and a pair of rotary drive folding rollers (20b, 20c; 20d, 20e) for folding a portion of the sheet deflecting from the buckle. A sheet detector (16, 17) is arranged in the buckle at a predetermined spacing from the stopper. A control section (29) outputting a signal for deceleration to a driving source of the roller upon reception of a sheet detection signal from the sheet detector and stopping output of the signal for deceleration after elapse of a predetermined time.

Abstract: A sheet supply inlet (4) receives sheets (3) one by one from a printing machine (2). A sheet gathering and registering mechanism (20) comprises a pair of sheet feed rollers (24A, 24B) arranged in the neighborhood of the sheet supply inlet (4) for successively supplying each sheet (3) from the sheet supply inlet (4) to the sheet stitching station (5) so as to lay the sheets (3) one above another in the sheet stitching station (5), and a guide plate (26) arranged adjacent to the sheet feed rollers (24A, 24B) for swing movement in such a manner that the guide plate (26) pushes the rear end of the top sheet (3) toward the stopper (12; 13) until the front end of the top sheet (3) abuts against the stopper (12;13) each time the sheet is supplied to the sheet stitching station (5).

Abstract: An improved apparatus for stitching collated sheets is provided. Collated sleets to be stitched are transported along a first transport path portion (29) into a sheet stitching station (80) independently of different sheet stitching patterns. After sheet stitching operation of a stitching head (31), a sheet transport path for stitched sheets is divided into two sheet transport path portions, one is a fifth transport path portion (36a) extending to a sheet eject outlet (19), the other is a third transport path portion (40) extending to a sheet bending station (38), at a branch (K) . A switching gate plate is arranged at the branch (K) so as to selectively switch the transport path portions depending on whether the bending operation is required or not. A fourth transport path portion (42) extends from the sheet bending station (38) to the sheet eject outlet (19). Thus stitched sheets are all delivered from the only one sheet eject outlet (19).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a multi-layered back reflecting mirror which comprises a substrate, a dielectric multi-layered film formed on one side of the substrate and a metal or semiconductor film formed on the dielectric multi-layered film and which is superior in freedom from glare, visibility, decorative aspect, productivity, cost, etc.
