Wear (join).
[0041]
Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 6, the vacuum suction portion 54 of the paper feeding section 50 is moved horizontally above the end of the paper P2 accumulated in the paper collecting section 3 by the horizontal air cylinder 52. Subsequently, it is vertically lowered by the vertical air cylinder 53 and comes into contact with and adsorbs to the upper surface of the paper P2 in the uppermost layer of the stacking section 3.
[0042]
Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 7, the suction part 34 of the display paper holding and pressing part 30 releases the suction and releases the display paper P1 adhered to the upper surface of the paper P2, and then lifts and separates it. Return to position. Meanwhile, the vacuum suction section 54 of the paper feeding section 50 moves in the horizontal direction, pulls out the paper P2 on the uppermost layer of the stacking section 3 from the stacking section 3, and moves downward to move the holding plate. 40 is transferred to the front end holding portion 42 in the protruding direction.
On the other hand, the vacuum suction portion 14 of the display paper feeding portion 10 returning to the right direction holds the lower end portion of the display paper P1 upward, and then swings and rotates 180 ° downward to remove the display paper P1. Pulled out from the bottom layer of the stacking unit 2 and inverted. During the 180 ° swinging rotation in the downward direction of the vacuum suction unit 14, the air cylinder 21 of the bonding material supply unit 20 operates from the outside with respect to the surface of the drawn display paper P1, and the stamp for supplying the glue is supplied. 22 contacts and the paste is supplied.
The holding and pressing member 63 of the paper holding and pressing unit 60 moves down onto the object 70 to be bound placed on the lower lower paper P3 in a state where the binding paper P2 is sucked and held.
[0043]
Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 8, the holding pressing member 63 of the paper holding and pressing unit 60 releases the suction of the binding paper P2 to which the display paper P1 is stuck and returns to its original upper position. Then, the binding paper P2 with the display paper P1 attached is coated on the object 70 to be bound. Then, a bundler (not shown) is used to wind a binding string 80 around the binding object 70 from above the binding paper P2 and the lower paper P3, and to fold one letter, two letters, cross It is tied and tied by a method such as hanging.
[0044]
On the other hand, the holding portion 42 at the front end in the protruding direction of the holding plate 40 operates, and a vacuum air suction hole (not shown) on the top surface of the front end starts air suction or opens and closes as shown. 43 (claw portion) is closed, and the front end portion of the paper P2 to which the display paper P1 is stuck is held at the front end portion of the holding plate 40. On the other hand, the vacuum suction section 14 of the display paper feeding section 10 moves horizontally to the left in the drawing while holding the display paper P1, and above the binding paper P2 accumulated in the paper accumulation section 3 ( After the display paper P1 is horizontally conveyed to the upper side), the display paper P1 is held in the horizontal direction by the suction unit 34 of the display paper holding and pressing unit 30.
