Method for assembling a stack or a collection consisting of single or multilayered pre-products that lie freely one on top of the other, compositions of such pre-products, and applicator for producing such compositions

A method for assembling a stack (10, 10′, 10″;

• 32) consisting of single-layered or multi-layered pre-products (11-15;
• 11′, 15′;
• 11″, 15″) that lie freely one on top of the other or a collection consisting of single-layered or multi-layered pre-products (11, 15;
• 11′, 15′;
• 11″, 15″) that lie freely side by side, in particular printed products, of the same or a different size, which stack (10, 10′, 10″;
• 32) or which collection has two pre-products (11-15;
• 11′, 15′;
• 11″, 15″) lying on the outside, during which method the stack (10, 10′, 10″) or the collection is given a cohesion that facilitates the subsequent handling, comprising the steps of:
• preparing in a first step the pre-products (11-15;
• 11′, 15′;
• 11″, 15″) associated with the stack or with the collection, and
• mounting in that in a second step at least one connecting element (17;
• 17a, 17b;
• 17′;
• 17″;
• 19;
• 21;
• 49a, 49b) in such a manner that it overlaps the two outside pre-products (11, 15;
• 11′, 15′;
• 11″, 15″) of the stack (10, 10′, 10″;
• 32) or of the collection in an adhesive manner.
