Page binder with two part adhesive applicator

Abstract

A page binding device for binding pages 11 from a printer. The device having a support tray 18 for receiving and stacking printed pages 11 to form a bound document, and an adhesive applicator 16 for applying a two part adhesive to the printed pages. The two part adhesive has a first part and a second part, wherein the first part and the second part must contact eachother to form an adhesive bond. The adhesive applicator 16 applies the first part of the adhesive to one side of the printed pages and the second part to the opposite side of the page 11. The printed pages 11 are stacked in the support tray 18 such that the first part of the adhesive on one page 11 contacts the second part of the adhesive on the adjacent page in the adjacent page in the stack. Using a two part adhesive allows the adhesive applicator to be easily incorporated into a duplexed printhead assembly 13. As each side of the duplexed printhead 13 would only eject one part of the two part adhesive, the nozzle are far less prone to clogging.
