Abstract
A binding apparatus and method binds a sheet stack into a binder having a binder spine and an adhesive strip present on the spine's inner side. The binding apparatus comprises an input slot that is delimited by a plate and has an input opening and pressing device for compressing the sheet stack. The pressing device is embodied in such a way that upon compression of the sheet stack it exerts a linear pressure either directly onto the sheet stack or from outside onto the binder. The plate is embodied as a pressing plate that is movable between an initial position and a pressing position offset toward the input opening.
Claims19
A method for binding a sheet stack into a binder that comprises a binder spine having an adhesive strip present on its inner side, the sheet stack being inserted into the binder in such a way that the stack's end face comes into contact with the adhesive strip, after which the combination of sheet stack and binder having the binder spine is brought into contact against a plate (6) and then the sheet stack is compressed by means of a pressing device, fanning out the end face of the sheet stack, and in that state an adhesive bond is created between the binder spine and sheet stack,
- wherein upon compression of the sheet stack, the pressing device exerts a linear pressure either directly onto the sheet stack or from outside onto the binder;
- and in that context the binder spine is pressed, by movement of the plate (6) toward the end face of the sheet stack, against that end face.
A binding apparatus (1) for binding a sheet stack into a binder having a binder spine and having an adhesive strip present on the spine's inner side, the binding apparatus (1) comprising an input slot (19) that is delimited by a plate (6) and has an input opening, as well as a pressing device for compressing the sheet stack,
- wherein the pressing device is embodied in such a way that upon compression of the sheet stack it exerts a linear pressure either directly onto the sheet stack or from outside onto the binder;
- and the plate is embodied as a pressing plate (6) that is movable between an initial position and a pressing position offset toward the input opening.
The binding apparatus according to claim 18, wherein the movable pressing bar (15) is driven by a drive motor (18).
