Description

  The present invention relates to a calendar binding frame mounting apparatus.

  Conventionally, a metal binding frame has been used as a calendar binding frame. When a metal binding frame is used, when the calendar is separated and discarded, the calendar booklet or the remaining core and the metal binding frame must be separated and discarded, which is troublesome. Therefore, recently, a calendar using a paper binding frame has attracted attention. This is because a calendar using a paper binding frame can be discarded as it is.

  In the case of a metal binding frame, in order to attach it to the end of the calendar booklet in the calendar manufacturing process, it was only necessary to crimp the binding frame to the end of the calendar booklet. On the other hand, in a paper binding frame, the binding frame is bonded to the end of the calendar booklet using an adhesive such as hot melt resin (for example, Patent Document 1). It is necessary to hold down and hold until the adhesive is cured. As a result, the residence time of the calendar in the calendar manufacturing apparatus becomes long, which has become a bottleneck in mass production of a large number of calendars.

  Further, in a type of calendar manufacturing apparatus that cures the adhesive that bonds the binding frame while the calendar is being transported, a long transport line is required to cure the adhesive. As a result, there is a problem that the calendar manufacturing apparatus becomes large and the installation space becomes large.
