  • FIG. 17 are the clamp setting and closing operations for the two leading printed products 3 and 3 'already ended.
  • Fig. 18 shows that when Longitudinal stapler 48 the stapling process begins during the longitudinal stapler 50 the rearmost bracket of the Product 3 'has set.
  • 19 shows that the stapler 50 is about to be rearmost Place clip 43 '' in product 3 ''.
  • the Longitudinal stapler 49 is at the beginning of Stapling process, while a stitching head 7 and the Associated clip closing head 32 of the longitudinal stapler 48 run towards the stitching area.
  • FIG. 23-25 another embodiment is one Booklet arrangement shown that the booklet arrangement according to the 16 is very similar. Even in the embodiment 23-25 are those to be stapled Printed products 3, 3 ', 3' 'along one Insertion path 45 moves in the direction of arrow A.
  • the longitudinal stitchers shown in Fig. 23 (side view) 53, 54 and 55 are constructed differently than that Staplers 48, 49, 50 of the embodiment according to FIG. 16, which constructively that shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 Correspond to stapler.
