Description

  The present invention relates to a glue-bound booklet, a method for producing a glue-bound booklet, and an apparatus for producing a glue-bound booklet. More specifically, the present invention relates to a technology for manufacturing a bound booklet having signatures of different sizes and materials.

  Conventionally, saddle-stitched booklets have been used for books, pamphlets, catalogs, amenity goods for sales promotion, direct mail, and the like. The saddle-stitched booklet is a book in which a cover and a plurality of signatures are overlapped and saddle-stitched. For example, a saddle-stitched booklet bound with a binding needle such as a wire or a staple is widely used.

  As a method of manufacturing such a saddle-stitched booklet, for example, a folded signature is conveyed along a top line, and the signatures are sequentially stacked and collated to form a stacked signature group. A bookbinding technique is used in which a wire is punched and makeup is finally cut off (three-way cutting, etc.). In such a bookbinding technique, the peripheral edges of the signature group can be processed together by cutting off the makeup, so that a saddle-stitched booklet with an excellent appearance in which the size of each signature is prepared can be continuously produced.

  And as a saddle stitch booklet, a booklet in which stacked signatures are bound together is also used. Such binding is not necessary to use a binding needle such as a wire or a staple, so that it is used for a booklet with a small number of pages, a booklet for binding signatures having the same size, material, and the like.

  As a bookbinding technique related to this, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a manufacturing technique related to a glue-bound booklet that does not use a wire or a staple by providing a glue unit in a glue-bound booklet manufacturing apparatus.

Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2005-193639.

However, the conventional bookbinding technique has the following problems.
First of all, it is necessary to form a margin for glue binding, but when the margin is formed and applied along the crease line of the signature, the margin width is inevitably subtly wavy or misaligned. was there. Since the margin width is not uniform, the signature to be bound cannot be firmly fixed, and the signature is shifted and glued, or the signature is peeled off from the booklet and dropped off. Moreover, even if it relies on manual work, it is difficult to form a paste margin accurately aligned on each signature. Furthermore, when the process of forming the margin is relied on manually or a separate process is provided, it is not desirable from the viewpoint of work efficiency and economy.

  This problem is particularly noticeable when binding signatures with different sizes, materials, and thicknesses. In order to securely bind such signatures, a more accurate margin can be formed. This is because it is difficult to provide a margin portion having a predetermined width on a straight line that is important and more accurate. In other words, when using signatures with different sizes, materials, and thicknesses, misalignment is likely to occur during operations such as transport and signature stacking, and the folding surface of each signature is shifted when binding. It becomes a state etc. In particular, when collating a group of signatures having different sizes in the longitudinal direction of the signature, there is a problem that play cannot be performed when the signature is transported or collated, so that it cannot be glued cleanly.

  Then, this invention solves this problem and makes it the main objective to provide the glue bound booklet which has the signature from which a magnitude | size, a material, and thickness differ.

First, the present invention is a glue binding booklet having at least signatures having different sizes, materials, and thicknesses, stacking a plurality of signatures, and collating them by gluing a folding line area. On one or both folding surfaces of the signature, a glue binding portion having a predetermined width is formed in a straight line along the folding line, and the signature and the next signature stacked on the signature are Provided is a glue binding booklet bonded by the glue binding section.
The stacked signatures can be glued firmly by forming the glue binding portions in a straight line with a predetermined width without undulation. Then, on one or both folding surfaces of the signature, at least one folding surface of the signature is formed with a glue binding portion that is surely aligned with a predetermined width, and if necessary, on the other folding surface. It is also possible to reliably form a glue binding portion having a predetermined width.
Next, according to the present invention, at least one folding surface is folded at a crease line in the longitudinal direction, and an end of the folded folding surface is bound at least with a signature bonded to its own folding surface. Provide a bound booklet. For example, complicated signatures such as three folds and Kannon folds can be bound in the booklet.
And this invention can be set as the glue binding booklet whose said predetermined width of the said glue binding part is 2 mm-8 mm along a fold line. By aligning the predetermined width of the glue-binding portion formed along the fold line to 2 mm to 8 mm without undulation, a glue-binding booklet with excellent aesthetics can be obtained.
For the technique of binding by gluing, it is especially important to form a uniform gluing width. For example, in the past, gluing was sprayed and sprayed from directly above the back of the signature. It was difficult to form a clean glue margin with a predetermined width. As a result of earnest research on the cause, the inventor has dripped when spraying or spraying glue on the signature, or the crease line of the signature is not firmly held in the folded folding line. I found out that this is the cause. It has been found that these causes cause a problem that the glue margin undulates when the glue is sprayed and sprayed on the signature. The inventor has solved these problems as follows.
In the present invention, the first signature is glued along the mountain fold line of the first signature while being conveyed on the hook, and continues to the substantially inverted V-shaped guide disposed above the first signature. A method for manufacturing a bound booklet that temporarily accepts a second signature and performs binding by stacking the first signature and the second signature, wherein at least one folding surface of the first signature Forming a glue binding portion having a predetermined width on the one folding surface so as to be substantially straight in a direction parallel to the mountain fold line by applying glue from a substantially perpendicular angle to Provided is a method of manufacturing a glue binding booklet, which at least includes a step of gradually superimposing a second signature once temporarily received on a guide with respect to the first signature on which the glue binding portion is formed. .
In the present invention, the angle at which the paste is applied to the signature is not sprayed from the upper part of the folding line of the signature substantially downward, but is applied substantially perpendicularly to at least one folding surface of the signature. It is possible to reliably form a glue binding portion having a predetermined width on the folded surface. If applied from the upper part of the folding line of the signature, substantially downward, the glue adheres to one of the folding surfaces of the signature and causes dripping. As a result, the glue binding portion having a predetermined width is formed along the folding line. It becomes difficult to form, and as a result, the glue binding portion becomes wavy, but this phenomenon can be prevented.
Moreover, this invention provides the manufacturing method of the glue binding booklet which forms the said glue binding part in predetermined width along the said mountain fold line on said one folding surface. The glue binding portion can be formed to have a uniform predetermined width along the mountain fold line.
In the present invention, as the fold angle of the second signature temporarily received on the guide is gradually overlapped with the glued first signature, Provided is a method for producing a bound booklet having an angle substantially equal to a mountain folding angle. In addition to just providing a guide, the angle of the fold of the second signature temporarily received on the guide should be slightly wider when initially received, and when it comes to the stage of overlapping with the first signature, By setting the mountain fold angle to be substantially the same as the angle of the first signature, it is possible to more efficiently prevent the positional shift phenomenon when overlapping.
Furthermore, in the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for manufacturing a bound booklet that binds a plurality of signatures by glue binding, and is folded in a mountain on the transport rail for hooking and transporting the signature in a predetermined direction. Glue is ejected in a direction substantially perpendicular to one folding surface of the first sheet feeding unit for arranging the signature and the signature arranged on the transport rail from the first sheet feeding unit. A second nozzle unit for supplying the glue for the glue, the next signature to be stacked on the glued signature in a mountain-folded state, and the next supplied by the second supply unit. There is provided a glue binding booklet manufacturing apparatus including at least a guide portion that temporarily receives a signature and gradually overlaps the glue signature on the conveyance rail. By using such an apparatus, it is possible to more easily obtain a bound booklet having signatures having different sizes, materials, and thicknesses.
And this invention provides the manufacturing apparatus of the glue bound booklet in which the said conveyance rail is formed in reverse V shape, and the projection part is provided along the top line. By providing the protrusion on the transport rail, it is possible to more effectively prevent the misalignment of the signature, thereby maintaining the predetermined width of the glue binding portion more accurately.
Further, according to the present invention, the guide portion is a plate member having an inverted V shape in a sectional view, and a slit is provided in a top line region on the leading side in the transport direction, and the inverted V shape on the leading side in the transport direction. An apparatus for manufacturing a glue-bound booklet that is formed such that the height of the plate member is lower than the height of the inverted V-shaped plate member on the trailing side in the conveyance direction and is disposed on the conveyance rail is provided. . In addition to simply providing a guide, by using the guide having such a shape, it is possible to more effectively prevent a positional shift phenomenon that may occur in the process of stacking the second signature to be stacked on the first signature.

  According to the present invention, a bound booklet having signatures having different sizes, materials, and thicknesses can be easily obtained.

  DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of a glue bound booklet according to the invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Each embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings shows an example of a typical embodiment according to the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not interpreted narrowly.

  FIG. 1 is a simplified perspective view of a first embodiment of a glue bound booklet according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a top view of the embodiment. FIG. 3 is a view showing a state in which the booklet of the embodiment is opened.

  Reference numeral 10 in FIG. 1 represents a glue-bound booklet. The glue-bound booklet 10 is a booklet in which three signatures 11, 12, and 13 are bound. The signature 11 has a folding surface 111. The signatures 11, 12, and 13 are glued by glue binding portions 101 provided on both sides of the folding surface. The glue binding portion 101 is characterized by being formed in a straight line with a surplus width L1 along the crease line of each folding surface.

  The signature 11 and the signature 12 are different in both the longitudinal width and the lateral width of the signature. The signature 11 and the signature 13 are different from each other in the longitudinal width and the lateral width of the signature. The signature 12 and the signature 13 are different in the length of the lateral width of the signature. As described above, in the present invention, the sizes of the signatures 11, 12, and 13 are not limited, and the lengths in the longitudinal direction and the width direction are not particularly limited, and even an irregular signature is glued. The booklet 10 can be bound. Therefore, for example, although not shown, it may be a graphic, a character, or a cut signature.

  The form of the signature that can be used in the present invention is not limited. For example, various types of signatures such as a two-fold signature, a Kannon fold signature, and an irregular 12-page fold can be used. In addition, perforated signatures can be bound as required. Furthermore, it is also possible to bind a bag binding signature or the like in which the entire periphery of the signature is bonded.

  Further, the thickness L1 of the signature is not limited and can be appropriately determined in consideration of the number, thickness, material, and the like of the signature to be glued. Therefore, in the present invention, signatures that can be glued are not limited to thin paper (so-called “peller” etc.), and signatures with a certain thickness can also be bound.

  The material of the signatures 11 to 13 may be any material that can be glued, and is not particularly limited. For example, various papers, vinyl films, plastic signatures, and the like are bound. be able to. As for the papers, for example, a wide variety of papers such as plain paper, high-quality paper, cardboard art post paper, cardboard mat coat paper, coat, mirror coat, and mat coat can be used.

  The printing technique applied to the signatures 11 to 13 is not particularly limited, and a conventionally known printing technique can be used as appropriate.

  The glue binding booklet 10 is formed by forming glue binding portions 101 and 101 on both sides of a signature and closing them. In the present invention, the glue binding portion 101 is formed only on one folding surface. May be. That is, the glue binding portions 101 and 101 are in a state where glue binding portions having a surplus width L1 are formed and bonded to both sides of the folding surfaces of the signatures 11 to 13, respectively. The glue binding portion 101 may be formed only on the surface.

  Conventionally, when forming and applying glue margin along the crease line of the signature, the glue binding portion 101 inevitably subtly undulates and shifts, and it is difficult to accurately maintain the surplus width L1. It was also difficult to make the extra length width L1 of each signature uniform.

  Alternatively, even if it is attempted to form the glue binding portion 101 by manual work, there is a phenomenon in which the extra length width L1 slightly shifts due to manual work. In particular, when a plurality of signatures having different sizes, materials, and thicknesses are used as a booklet, the subtle deviations inevitably affect the adhesive force. As a result, the signature was slightly shifted and glued, or the signature was peeled off from the booklet.

  Furthermore, in the conventional bookbinding technique, especially when collating a group of signatures having different sizes in the longitudinal direction of the signatures, misalignment is likely to occur during operations such as transport or signature stacking. It will be in the state where the folding surface of the signature shifted. Therefore, there is a problem that play is generated when the signature is conveyed and collated, and the glue cannot be bound neatly.

  In this regard, in the present invention, by finding a suitable application angle for applying glue, the extra length width L1 of the glue binding portion 101 can be accurately and uniformly maintained, and the glue binding booklet 1 is obtained. Can do.

  In particular, according to the present invention, it is preferable that the surplus length width L1 of the glue binding portion 101 is a glue binding booklet having a width of 2 mm to 8 mm along a fold line. By aligning the predetermined width L1 of the glue binding portion 101 formed along the fold line to 2 mm to 8 mm without undulation, the glue binding booklet 10 having excellent aesthetics can be obtained. In particular, in the past, it was difficult to uniformly form a width of several millimeters as a margin, but in the present invention, the extra margin width L1 is 2 to 8 mm, so that the margin margin is thin. It is possible to obtain a signature that is more aesthetically pleasing and that can sufficiently bind the signature.

  Furthermore, work steps such as coil binding can be omitted, which can contribute to cost reduction. As the coil material, for example, a wire, various synthetic resins, and the like are used. However, according to the present invention, since it is not necessary to use such a material, it can be used as a more environmentally friendly booklet.

  FIG. 4 is a simplified perspective view of the first state of the second embodiment of the glue bound booklet according to the present invention. FIG. 5 is a side view of a first state of the embodiment. FIG. 6 is a simplified perspective view of the second embodiment in the second state. FIG. 7 is a side view of the second state of the embodiment. FIG. 8 is a side view of a third state in which an installation base is provided in the embodiment. Hereinafter, the points common to the first embodiment will not be described, and different points will be mainly described.

  Reference numeral 20 in FIG. 4 represents a glue-bound booklet. This glue bound booklet 20 is a booklet in which three signatures 21, 22, and 23 are bound. The signature 21 has one folded surface folded back along a crease line in the longitudinal direction, and an edge of the folded folded surface is adhered to the folded surface. Thus, the structure is folded in the region A.

  The glue binding booklet 20 has a glue binding part 201 having a surplus width L2 formed on one folding surface of the signatures 21 to 23. And the side view and the signatures 21-23 can be turned to the bag binding part A side of the signature 21 by hand turning.

  Since the glue binding booklet 20 according to the present invention is provided with the glue binding portion 201 on at least one folding surface, when turning each signature, each signature is turned back by the load of the glue binding portion 201. Can be prevented. Therefore, it can be suitably used for a turning calendar using thick paper or the like, or a handbook for a turning message book with a message property.

  As described above, the glue-bound booklet 20 according to the present invention can be used in a wide variety of forms such as a daily calendar, a daily calendar, a booklet for storing disks such as a CD, various pamphlets, various catalogs, and the like. In particular, even if the cover (for example, signature 21) and the text (for example, signatures 22 and 23) are made of different materials (paper quality), it can be glued, so that publicity activities, enlightenment activities, and sales promotion are possible. It can also be used as a marketing tool.

  Further, the glue binding booklet 20 may be used together with an installation table 24 (see FIG. 8). That is, it can be set as the 3rd state which provided the installation stand 24 in the glue binding booklet 20 (refer FIG. 8). The glue binding booklet 20 is in a state in which the crease line A1 of the region A is folded inward, and is in a third state in which the installation portions A2 and A3 are formed. Further, the installation base 24 has a plurality of installation fixing portions 241 that stand upward in a side view.

  And in a 3rd state, an angle can be freely adjusted by inserting installation part A2, A3 in the predetermined installation fixing | fixed part 241 of the installation stand 24. FIG. Since it is possible to change the viewing angle from the front, it can be set and maintained at an easy-to-view angle, and it can be expected to eliminate eyestrain and stiff shoulders due to differences in user height.

  For example, when it is desired to set the angle more obliquely, the crease angle of the fold surface line A1 may be set to be more obtuse (see symbol W in FIG. 8). Further, when it is desired to set a more vertical position, the crease angle of the crease line A1 in a side view may be set to an acute angle (see reference numeral N in FIG. 8). Since signatures having different sizes, materials, and thicknesses can be bound, the glue binding booklet 20 having such a form can be obtained.

  The glue bound booklets 10 and 20 according to the present invention can be efficiently manufactured by the manufacturing method and manufacturing apparatus described below.

Hereinafter, the manufacturing method of the glue bound booklet concerning this invention is demonstrated.
FIG. 9 is a conceptual diagram viewed from the front for explaining an example of a method for manufacturing a bound booklet according to the present invention. FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional front view conceptual diagram for explaining the manufacturing method.

  First, a process of transporting one copy 11 is performed (see S1 in FIGS. 9 and 10). In this step, the signatures 11 are conveyed one by one in the direction of the arrow X (see FIG. 9). The signature 11 is conveyed while being hooked along the crease line of the signature 11. The conveying means is not particularly limited. For example, the conveying means can be conveyed in a state where the crease line of the signature 11 is superimposed on the blade 301 provided in the conveying line 30 (see FIG. 10) which is a mountain fold in a sectional view. it can. As the conveying means of this conveying line, a known conveying means can be used. For example, although not shown, the signature 11 can be extruded and conveyed by providing a pusher on the gathering chain.

  When the signature 11 is conveyed by the conveyance line 30, it is conveyed in the state folded in the angle a (refer FIG. 10). In the present invention, the angle a is not particularly limited, and can be appropriately determined in consideration of the size, thickness, material, and the like of the signature 11.

  In order to prevent the positional deviation of the signature 11 in the mountain-folded conveyance line 30, it is desirable to provide a blade 301 at the mountain-folded portion of the conveyance line 30 in a state where the conveyance line 30 is viewed in cross section (FIG. 10). Etc.). By providing the blade 301, the blade 301 can be fitted into the fold of the signature 11 by the weight of the signature 11. Moreover, since it is a simple method of providing the blade 301, it is also desirable in that it does not greatly affect other manufacturing processes.

  Next, a step of applying glue to the conveyed signature 11 is performed (see reference numerals S2-1 and S2-2 in FIG. 9 and reference numeral S2 in FIG. 10). Glue is applied to a predetermined width from the crease line of at least one folding surface of the signature 11. That is, it is a step of forming the glue binding portion 112 with a predetermined width from the crease line of at least one folding surface of the signature 11. That is, according to the present invention, the glue binding portion 112 having a predetermined width uniformly maintained with respect to one folding surface of the signature 11 is formed in advance.

  In the method of gluing the signature 11, the glue is sprayed and sprayed on the signature 11 by the glue nozzle N1. While conveying the signature 11 in the direction of arrow X (see FIG. 9), paste is sprayed and sprayed from the paste nozzle N1. Thereby, the glue binding part 112 which is the uniform predetermined width over the crease line full length can be formed in the signature 11. FIG.

  In the present invention, in particular, the paste is sprayed / sprayed on the surface of the signature 11 where the glue binding portion 112 is formed so as to be in a substantially vertical direction (see arrow Y1 in FIG. 10). Conventionally, for example, paste is sprayed and sprayed from the direction directly above the back portion of the signature 11 (see arrow Y2 in FIG. 10), but a paste margin having a uniform predetermined width is formed on the signature 11. It was difficult. As a result of intensive research on the cause, the inventor has dripped when the paste is sprayed / sprayed on the signature 11, and the crease line of the signature 11 is firmly attached to the transport line 30 that is folded in a mountain. I found out that it was caused by things that did not fit. It has been found that these causes cause a problem that the glue margin undulates when the glue is sprayed and sprayed on the signature 11. The inventor solved these problems as follows.

  First, with respect to the problem of the liquid dripping when the glue is ejected or sprayed on the signature 11, the direction substantially perpendicular to one of the folding surfaces of the signature 11 (see arrow Y1 in FIG. 10). ) Found that it is sufficient to spray and spray the paste. That is, if spraying is performed from directly above the signature 11 (see arrow Y2 in FIG. 10), the paste can be sprayed on both sides of the signature 11 by one spraying, but on the other hand, the glue dripping. Therefore, there has been a problem that it is difficult to form a glue binding portion having a uniform predetermined width on both sides of the signature 11.

  In the present invention, dripping in the signature 11 can be effectively suppressed by spraying from one of the folding surfaces of the signature 11 from a substantially vertical direction. As a result, the predetermined width L1 can be maintained without the glue binding portion 112 undulating. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a glue-binding booklet with an excellent appearance in which the width of the glue-binding portion 112 is neatly arranged. In addition, since the glue binding portion 112 is aligned with a uniform predetermined width L1 over the entire length of the crease line, the signature can be firmly glued over the entire length of the crease line. It is also possible to prevent 11 from being peeled off from the glue-bound booklet 10.

  In the present invention, spraying may be performed from a substantially vertical direction with respect to any one of the folding surfaces of the signature 11, but preferably the angle a (see FIG. 10) which is the spraying angle with respect to the folding surface is slightly smaller than the vertical. It is desirable to form at an acute angle. Since the particles of glue sprayed and sprayed from the glue nozzle N1 drop due to the action of gravity, the glue is attached to a position slightly shifted downward. On the other hand, the position shifted downward can be corrected by setting the angle a so as to be a little sharper than vertical. As a result, the preset predetermined width L1 can be maintained more accurately. Forming the predetermined width L1 of the glue binding portion 112 more accurately in this way is one of the techniques that are particularly desired from the viewpoint of demand for manufacturing the glue binding booklet.

  In the present invention, the glue nozzle N1 is provided only on one side of the folding surface, and the glue binding portion 112 is formed only on one surface of the signature 11 (see S2a in FIG. 10). That is, the glue nozzles N1 and N1 may be provided on both sides of the folding surface of the signature 11, and the glue binding portions 112 and 112 may be formed on both surfaces of the signature 11 at one time (see S2b in FIG. 10). ). As a result, the glue binding portions 112 and 112 can be efficiently formed.

  Although not shown, it is desirable to provide a transport sensor that senses whether or not the signature 11 is transported on the transport line 30. Then, by interlocking the conveyance sensor with the glue nozzle N1, the conveyance sensor senses that the signature 11 has been conveyed, and thereby the glue can be sprayed and sprayed from the glue nozzle N1. Therefore, it is desirable in that the glue binding portion 112 having a more accurate predetermined width can be formed and productivity can be improved.

  In order to solve the problem that the crease line of the signature 11 may not be tightly fitted in the above-described folded carrier line 30, it is desirable to provide the blade 301 at the folded part of the carrier line 30 ( FIG. 10 etc.). By providing this blade 301, the blade 301 can be fitted to the crease line of the signature 11 by its own weight.

  Further, in the present invention, it is desirable to provide the tongues 31 and 32 on the conveying line 30 in order to prevent the positional deviation of the signature 11. When a part of the signature 11 is lifted during the conveyance process, the lifted part comes into contact with the tongues 31 and 32. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the signature 11 from being lifted. The inclination angle and material of the tongues 31 and 32, the strength of pressing on the signature 11, and the like can be appropriately adjusted in consideration of the size and material of the signature 11 or the wrinkle of the material (paper).

  The first tongue 31 can prevent the signature 11 being lifted during conveyance. Furthermore, by providing the second tongue 32 immediately before the nozzle N1, it is possible to effectively correct the misalignment of the signature 11 during gluing. As a result, it is desirable in that the predetermined width L1 of the glue binding portion 112 can be accurately maintained.

  In the present invention, it is desirable to provide the glue sensor 33. When glue is sprayed / sprayed from the glue nozzle N1, the glue sensor 33 senses the glue, so that it can be confirmed whether or not the glue is correctly applied to the signature 11. The glue sensor 33 may be any method that can confirm gluing. For example, a method for confirming the presence of glue particles by irradiating a laser can be used.

  The glued signature 11 is further conveyed forward (refer to the arrow X direction in FIG. 9) by the conveying line 30. At this time, the roller guide 34 is provided so as to contact the back of the signature 11. desirable. By providing the roller guide 34, it is possible to further prevent the positional deviation of the glued signatures 11, so that it is possible to prevent deviations between the signatures in the subsequent collating process. Further, although not shown, it is desirable that the roller guide 34 is formed with an inverted V-shaped groove so as to fit the sectional view, the sectional view of the signature 11, and the inverted V shape.

  The roller guide 34 can be an idle roll, but it is desirable to synchronize with the moving speed of the transport line 30. That is, it is desirable that the speed at the contact point between the roller guide 34 and the signature 11 is substantially the same as the transport speed of the transport line 30. Thereby, the position shift of the stacking of the signatures can be prevented with high accuracy.

  And the process of arrange | positioning the following signature 12 is performed above the glued signature 11 (refer code | symbol S3-1 etc. of FIG. 9 and FIG. 10). When setting the signature 12, the signature 12 is not directly superimposed on the signature 11, but first, the signature 12 is dropped (set) above the guide 45, and the signature 12 is moved forward (see arrow X in FIG. 9). ) (See symbol S3-2 in FIG. 9). Thereafter, the signatures 11 and 12 are overlapped by overlapping with the signature 11 (see reference numeral S4 in FIGS. 9 and 10). Thereby, when the signatures 11 and 12 are overlapped, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of positional deviation.

  Further, by changing the angle at the time when the signature 12 is conveyed, the subtle deviation or the like can be more effectively prevented. The signature 12 is first transported at a slightly wider crease angle in the set state (see S3-1 in FIGS. 9 and 10). And just before superimposing with the signature 11, it is conveyed by the substantially same angle as the crease angle of the signature 11 (refer code | symbol S3-2 of FIG. 9 and FIG. 10). That is, the crease angle of the signature 12 is conveyed while changing the angle when the state is changed from the state S3-1 to the state S3-2, and finally overlapped with the signature 11 (reference S4).

  First, in the step of setting the signature 12 (state S3-1), since the signature 12 is dropped from above, the signature 12 is displaced from the guide 45 by setting a wide angle. Can be prevented from falling off. And in the process (code | symbol S3-2 state) which conveys the signature 12 and tries to overlap with the signature 11, it makes the signature 11 and folding by making it the substantially same angle as the crease angle of the signature 11. The crease lines of the dings 12 can be more accurately superimposed.

  A guide 35 can be used as one means for changing the angle when the signature 12 is conveyed. When the signature 11 is placed on the conveyance line 30 and conveyed, the next signature 12 is also held and installed in a state where it can be pushed together. Then, the signature 12 is conveyed together with the signature 11 in the forward direction (see arrow X in FIG. 9), so that the guide 35 protrudes and the signature 12 is overlapped on the signature 11 (see FIG. 9). (See S4 in FIGS. 9 and 10).

  The guide 35 is an inverted V-shaped plate member in cross-sectional view, and the angle of the inverted V-shape toward the conveying direction is approximately the same as the angle of the mountain fold of the first signature 11 to be superimposed. (Refer to FIGS. 10 to 12 and the like). Furthermore, it is desirable that the guide 35 is formed with a blade (projection) 351 along a vertex portion having an inverted V shape in cross section. The blade 351 can be conveyed while preventing the positional deviation of the signature 12.

  In addition, it is desirable that a slit is formed in the top line region on the leading side in the conveyance direction of the guide 35, and the guide 35 is formed in a substantially square shape in cross section (see reference numeral S-2 in FIG. 10). Thereby, when the next signature 12 is overlaid on the signature 11, the glue binding portion 112 and the crease line of the signature 14 are gradually brought into contact with each other, etc. Can do.

  More preferably, the height of the guide 35 is desirably a shape that gradually decreases along the conveying direction. Thereby, since the space | interval of the signature 11 and the signature 12 to overlap can be gradually packed (for example, refer code | symbol S3-1-S4 of FIG. 9), it can align with higher precision. it can.

  In the state of reference S3-1, a blade 351 is provided at the top of the guide 35 (FIG. 10). By providing the blade 351, the blade 351 can be fitted into the fold of the signature 12 by its own weight. As a result, the crease line of the signature 11 can be securely fitted to the guide 35 having a mountain-folded shape, and thus misalignment can be prevented more effectively.

  In particular, since the guide 35 can be retrofitted onto the upper surface of the existing conveyance line 30, it can be used effectively as an attachment or the like.

  Finally, a step of superimposing the signatures 11 and 12 on the transport line 30 is performed (see reference numeral S4 in FIGS. 9 and 10). Thereby, the signature 11 and the signature 12 can be bonded by the glue binding portion 112.

  In the present invention, it is desirable to provide tongues 36 and 37 for suppressing the signatures 11 and 12 conveyed from the guide 35 from above. The velocities 36 and 37 can prevent the signature 11 and the signature 12 from being lifted immediately after being overlapped. The number of bellows 36 and 37 is not particularly limited. The number and thickness of the signatures 11 and 12 to be used are appropriately determined in consideration of the size and thickness of the signatures 11 and 12, the material and material wrinkles, or the transport speed of the transport line 30. Can be installed at a place.

  Subsequently, the positions of the overlapped signatures 11 and 12 are adjusted once by a stopper 38 provided on the transport line 30 (see FIG. 9). Positioning can be performed by once contacting the stoppers 11 and 12 with the stopper 38 lightly. The stopper 38 can be set to turn up or rotate only when a certain load or more is applied in the conveying direction. Thereby, for example, when the load of the two signatures of the signatures 11 and 12 is applied (that is, when the two signatures are aligned by the stopper 38), the stopper 38 becomes movable, so that Can be sent out to the transfer line 30.

  Moreover, in this invention, you may provide the process etc. which press from the upper direction of the signature 12 after the said S4 process as needed. Thereby, the signature 11 and the signature 12 can be glued more strongly. Alternatively, a step of cutting the peripheral edge of the collated glue bound booklet can be provided after the step S4 as necessary. By providing a step of performing makeup standing (three-side cutting or top-and-bottom cutting) on the periphery of the glue-bound booklet, it is possible to manufacture an adhesive-bound booklet with a good appearance such as the periphery of the glue-bound booklet.
