Claims26
A method for affixing a marking ribbon to a book product having a book block formed by gathering several sheets, comprising:
- forming a partial book block of at least one sheet including a top sheet while gathering said several sheets;
- placing the marking ribbon on the top sheet;
- depositing at least one other sheet on the partial book block and said top sheet during continued gathering of said several sheets to form a gathered book block having four unbound sides;
- and
- binding one side of the gathered book block including marking ribbon and trimming the other, non-bound sides of the gathered book block.
A device for affixing a marking ribbon to a book product having a book block formed by gathering several sheets in a gathering machine, comprising:
- an unwinding device that accommodates a supply roll of a wound-up marking ribbon;
- several sheet feed stations that are arranged in a row upstream and downstream of said unwinding device, to deposit respective decollated sheets onto a conveying channel where partial book blocks are formed upstream of the unwinding device and gathered book blocks having four unbound sides are formed downstream of the unwinding device;
- said conveying channel having pushers which advance a partial book block of at least one sheet including a top sheet to a location at the unwinding device where a marking ribbon is placed on the top sheet and advance the partial book block with marking ribbon from the unwinding device to be formed as a gathered book block, bound on one side, and trimmed on the other sides;
- a cutting device at said location for cutting off a piece of marking ribbon from the supply roll in a defined length having first and second ends;
- and
- a transporter that takes hold of at least the first end and the second end of the marking ribbon with first and second holders and is displaceable between a receiving point and a delivery point, so as to place the marking ribbon at the delivery point on the top sheet of the partial book block that is advanced in the conveying channel.
