Abstract
Method of manufacturing a folder (1), which continuously or intermittently is fed through a machine (51) by a conveying means (52, 53) adapted to an ordinary folder of a nominal width dimension (Bnom), wherein said folder (1) features an under-dimension in relation to the width dimension of the ordinary folder, and that said folder (1) is placed in a cassette (40) having a dimension (Bk) corresponding to said under-dimension and having an outer dimension corresponding to said nominal dimension (Bnom), which cassette (40) is moved through the machine (51) by said conveying means (52, 53). As well as a machine (51) and a cassette (40) for the realization of said method.
Claims19
A method of manufacturing a first folder having a first width dimension using a folder manufacturing machine configured to manufacture a second folder having a second width dimension that is greater than the first width dimension, the first folder comprising a cover having two cover sides, a back between the cover sides, an adhesive on the inside of the back, and a bundle of sheets inserted between the two cover sides of the cover and one side edges of which are brought into abutment against the inside of the back and the adhesive, the method comprising:
- activating the adhesive by an activation device of the folder manufacturing machine for a predetermined time for the adhesion of the bundle of sheets of said first folder to the inside of the back;
- and
- while the adhesive is activated for the adhesion of the bundle of sheets to the inside of the back, continuously or intermittently feeding the first folder through the folder manufacturing machine by a conveyer adapted to the second folder having the second width dimension, wherein said first folder is placed in a cassette having an inner dimension corresponding to said first width dimension and having an outer dimension corresponding to said second width dimension, and the cassette is moved through the folder manufacturing machine by said conveyer.
A cassette for manufacturing a first folder by being moved through a folder manufacturing machine configured to manufacture a second folder having a second width dimension that is larger than the first width dimension, the first folder comprising a cover having two cover sides, a back between the cover sides, an adhesive on the inside of the back, and a bundle of sheets inserted between the two cover sides of the cover and one side edges of which are brought into abutment against the inside of the back and the adhesive, the cassette comprising:
- an inner space limited by walls intended to hold the first folder in an essentially vertical position in the space, said inner space having the first width dimension;
- and
- a lid, articulately connected via a hinge to an upper edge of a wall side of the cassette.
A system comprising:
- a folder manufacturing machine;
- and
- a cassette configured to manufacturing a first folder by being moved through the folder manufacturing machine, the first folder comprising a cover having two cover sides, a back between the cover sides, an adhesive on the inside of the back, and a bundle of sheets inserted between the two cover sides of the cover and one side edges of which are brought into abutment against the inside of the back and the adhesive;
- wherein the folder manufacturing machine is configured to manufacture a second folder having a width dimension, the folder manufacturing machine comprising a conveyer including a plurality of drivers equally spaced along the conveyer, and an activation device configured to activate, for a predetermined time and while the second folder is continuously or intermittently fed through the machine, an adhesive for the adhesion of sheets to an inside of a back of the second folder;
- and
- wherein the cassette comprises:
- an inner space limited by side walls configured to hold the first folder in an essentially vertical position in the space, said inner space having a width corresponding to a width dimension of the first folder;
- a plurality of width extenders provided on a same side wall or opposite side walls of the cassette and configured to engage the drivers of the conveyer, the width extenders extending the width of the cassette defined by the side walls to a width dimension of the second folder;
- and
- a lid articulately connected via a hinge to an upper edge of one side wall of the cassette.
