Abstract: The present invention relates to a booklet binding machine (201). The machine includes cassette receiving means (202, 203), an infeed mechanism (206) a combining unit and an activating unit. According to the invention, the cassette receiving means is adapted to receive a cassette pack in which the booklet covers are disposed in a bundle in a non-folded state in the cassette. The machine also includes means (211, 212, 213) for folding the booklet covers along two fold lines. The invention also relates to a cassette pack which includes an infeed cassette and a bundle of booklet covers in the cassette. According to the invention, the booklet covers are in a non-folded state in the cassette. Each booklet cover includes fold lines and an activatable adhesive. The invention also relates to a booklet binding method.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to a device for producing booklets, each of which comprises a cover (A) that has two cover sides, a spine between the cover sides, a glue string applied to the inner surface of the spine, and a sheet bundle inserted between the two cover sides. A plurality of covers each having an applied glue string are placed in the immediate vicinity of each other, in a readiness position. The sheet bundle (B) is then combined with one of the covers (A), so as to enclose the sheet bundle in the cover with one side edge of the bundle facing towards the glue string. The glue string is then actuated in an actuator (8), so as to bind this side edge of the bundle (B) to the inner surface of the spine. According to the invention, the sheet bundle (B) is combined with the cover (A) by moving the sheets of the bundle one by one, or as a complete bundle, to the cover in its readiness position by means of a powered transporter.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method, a device for assembling and producing of booklets. Each booklet having a cover that comprises two cover sheets and a spine disposed inbetween. A glue string is applied to the inner surface of the spine, and a sheet bundle inserted between the cover sheets of said cover and affixed at one end side edge to the inner surface of the spine by means of the glue string.

Abstract: A cover comprising a spine (3), a strip of binding agent (4) connected to the spine, and two cover sides 1, 2) which are connected with the spine by means of a first pair of creasing lines (5, 6) extending parallel to the strip, the cover sides also being provided with a second pair of of creasing lines (7, 8) extending parallel to the strip, which creasing lines are at at short distance from the first pair and along which the cover sides are folded on opening and closing of the booklet, a sheaf of papers (20) being intended to be inserted into the cover with one side edge of the same in contact with the strip, such that on melting and subsequent cooling of the strip, the sheaf of papers will be connected to the spine to form a finished booklet. The second pair of creasing lines are deformed in such a way that when the cover sides of the cover are essentially parallel, the two portions (9, 10) between the two pairs of creasing lines exert an inwardly directed pressure against the not yet melted strip.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for manufacturing booklets. Each booklet is made of a cover having two cover sheets and a spine, a bead of glue attached to the inside of the spine, and a sheaf of papers inserted between the cover sheets and attached to the spine by the bead of glue. The apparatus and method include moving the sheaf of papers to a first position by a first transporter, moving one of several covers stored in a cassette to a second position by a second transporter, and moving the sheaf of papers and cover into contact so that the sheaf of papers is enclosed by the covers and a side edge of the sheaf contacts the bead of glue. The assembled booklet moves past a device for activating the bead of glue. A method is provided for filling the cassette, which stores and dispenses the covers, and a method and apparatus are provided for jogging up the sheaf of papers.

Abstract: The invention disclosed is directed to a method, an apparatus for manufacturing and apparatus for using a booklet, folder or wrapper comprising two substantially parallel covers (1,2) united with a spine (3) at crease lines (5,6). A strip (4) of adhesive binder is attached to the inside of the spine (3) and extends only between the crease lines (5,6). The strip of adhesive (4) is intended to be activated to provide adhesion between itself and one edge of a sheaf of sheets of material which are inserted between the covers (2,3). Two opposing longitudinal side edges of the (4a, 4b) of the strip of adhesive (4) are united with the respective covers (1,2) before the sheaf of sheets is inserted between the covers (2,3).
