Abstract
A multi-layered printed product is cross cut and stapled by being fed past a gripping and folding blade cylinder and cooperating binding and cutting cylinders. The binding and cutting cylinders have parallel but offset axes of rotation and define envelopes of rotation which intersect each other at a point which is before, in the direction of travel of the printed product, the point at which the binding and cutting cylinders cooperate with the gripping and folding blade cylinder.
Claims6
An apparatus for cutting and binding multi-layered printed products in a folding apparatus of a printing assembly, said apparatus comprising:
- a gripping and folding blade cylinder adapted to receive a multi-layered printed product to be cut and bound;
- a cutting cylinder having at least a first cutter and being rotatable about a cutting cylinder axis of rotation and defining a first circular envelope;
- and
- a binding cylinder having at least a first binder head and being rotatable about a binding cylinder axis of rotation and defining a second circular envelope, said cutting cylinder axis of rotation and said binding cylinder axis of rotation being parallel to each other and spaced from each other, said first and second circular envelopes intersecting each other adjacent said gripping and folding blade cylinder, and looked at in paper feed direction, before a binding and cutting line.
