Abstract
The invention includes an apparatus and 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 is inserted into the binder in such a way that the stack's end face comes into contact with the adhesive strip. After the binder contacts the sheet stack, the sheet stack is compressed by means of a pressing device. An adhesive bond is created between the binder spine and sheet stack. The pressing device compresses the binder in such a way, and thereby heats it in such a way, that the binder is permanently deformed.
Claims25
A method for binding a sheet stack (21) into a binder (20) that comprises a binder spine (24) having an adhesive strip (25) present on its inner side, the sheet stack (21) being inserted into the binder (20) in such a way that the stack's end face comes into contact with the adhesive strip (25), after which the binder (20) with the sheet stack (21) is compressed by means of a pressing device (12, 14), and in that state an adhesive bond is created between the binder spine (24) and sheet stack (21),
- wherein the pressing device (12,14) compresses the binder (20) in such a way, and thereby heats it in such a way, that the binder (20) is permanently deformed.
A binding apparatus (1) for binding a sheet stack (21) into a binder (20) having a binder spine (24) and having an adhesive strip (25) present on the spine's inner side, the binding apparatus (1) comprising a pressing device (12, 14) for compressing the binder (20) and the sheet stack (21),
- wherein the pressing device (12, 14) has heating devices for heating the binder (20) on both sides.
