It should also be noted that the support part 118 with respect to the bearing arrangement 172 fixed to the support profile 62 as a function of the thickness the printed sheet 20 is shifted. This ensures a clean stapling of sheets of different thickness 20 guaranteed without having to readjust the device (see FIG. 21).

  • the processing of the clamps 104 takes place in a different position from the clamp setting position 130 ', which means that the different functions of the stitching heads 28 are spatially separated from each other; this in turn has the consequence that the stitching heads 28 are simple in construction with small dimensions.
  • the die can be used to bend the wire section 38 into a bracket 104 on each Stapling head 28 itself may be provided. This has an eccentric shape to the shaft, so that in the In the course of the pivoting movement of the stamp 130 from its rest position into the clamp setting position 130 ', the clamp 104 is formed.
  • Such a die could in particular be used as an extension of the clip holding member 146 be formed clockwise on this.
  • the drivers it is of course also possible for the drivers to be arranged on the stitching heads. That's the way it is quite conceivable that the pressing lugs 170 serve as drivers. A separate drive for the stapling station 22 is no longer necessary and synchronization problems between the rotation of the collecting drum 10 and the stitching head assemblies 24 are eliminated.
  • the traction element or the holding arrangement 52 can be operated by means of its own drive motor be driven all round. It is also conceivable for the wire section dispenser to be an exchangeable magazine or that the wire sections are fed directly from the cutting device to the stitching heads.
  • the stamp 130 is in a position of rest for the wire transfer different wire transfer position can be.

So for example, every second stitching head can be arranged with respect to the other stitching heads arranged in one plane be slightly offset. The two groups of stitching heads then advantageously each run on their own Wire section dispenser over. When stapling the stapled sheets, not all staples come on top of each other to lie.
