Abstract
Description
characterized in that the lengths of the clamp and the slider are set substantially the same as that of the cover body, an elastically clamping force applied between both the upper edges of the clamp is set to be sufficient to semi-permanently hold sheets to be inserted and mounted into the clamp, so that after one edge of the sheets to be book-bound has been inserted and mounted into the slider, then the front and back covers are closed together to hold the sheets in the insertion and mounting position for sliding and removing the slider, whereby the documents are automatically and elastically fixed between the upper edges of the clamp.
Claims (9)
- An integral automatic bookbinding unit for binding sheets comprising : an integral cover body formed of a front cover, a spine and a back cover ; an elastic clamp in the form of a U-shaped groove and to be mounted onto the spine ; and a rigid and/or spring-applied slider in the form of a U-shaped groove, which is adapted to be slidably inserted into the clamp and to hold uppers edges of the clamp to be spaced apart from each other and keep the clamp in the opening state,
characterized in that lengths of the clamp and the slider are set substantially the same as that of the cover body, an elastically clamping force applied between both the upper edges of the clamp is set to be sufficient to semi-permanently hold the sheets to be inserted and mounted into the clamp, so that after one edge of the sheets to be book-bound has been inserted and mounted into the slider, then the front and back covers are closed together to hold the sheets at the insertion and mounting position for sliding and removing the slider, whereby the sheets are automatically and elastically held between the upper edges of the clamp. - An integral automatic bookbinding unit for binding documents as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the clamp and the slider are made of a metal or a plastic material.
- An integral automatic bookbinding unit for binding documents as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that a base side portion of the clamp is curved to the inside.
- An integral automatic bookbinding unit for binding documents as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that one of opening and closing side portions of the clamp is slightly be larger than the opposite one of the opening and closing side portion.
- An integral automatic bookbinding unit for binding documents as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the size as defined from the opening portion to the closing base side portion of the clamp is set at least 5 mm.
- An integral automatic bookbinding unit for binding documents as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the clamp is arranged to be bundled up in the spine.
- An integral automatic bookbinding unit for binding documents as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the slider comprises a groove-shaped elongated member having almost the same length as that of the clamp, and one end of the slider is provided with a pull ring, and an opposite end edge is tapered off.
- An integral automatic bookbinding unit for binding documents as claimed in claim 7, characterized in that the ring is attached to the one end of the slider through a connection portion.
- An integral automatic bookbinding unit for binding documents as claimed in claim 7, characterized in that rings are unitary and doubly formed at ends of the opposite groove walls of the slider, and boundaries between the rings and the groove walls are formed in R-shape.
