Each of the above-described devices is a known control unit in this type of device, that is, through a control device based on a reading signal of a mark sensor 12 that reads a bookbinding mark preprinted on the continuous paper 1 together with a pattern of each saddle stitching piece. Then, an operation signal is output to each operation unit, and a predetermined operation is performed. As the bookbinding mark, for example, a timing mark M ₁ , an upper glue mark M ₂ , a lower glue mark M ₃ , a cutting / vertical sewing machine mark at a predetermined position on one side edge of the continuous paper 1, 5 as shown in FIG. It is pre-printed as M ₄ such marks required.

  Next, the production of the saddle-stitched booklet C having seven sets of saddle-stitched pieces shown in FIG. 4 will be described. First, the first and second vertical sewing machine processing devices 13 and 14 are alternately operated by the read signal from the mark sensor 12 so that each saddle stitching except for the front and rear of the continuous paper 1 in the width direction is sandwiched. The vertical perforation 3 is processed every other piece. As a result, the vertical perforation 3 serving as the center central folding line in the width direction is processed on the saddle stitch pieces excluding the front and rear sides across the cutting position of each saddle stitch piece.

  Next, the back side and front side gluing devices 15 and 16 are actuated by a bookbinding mark reading signal from the mark sensor 12, and as shown in FIG. 4, the back side gluing device 15 has a preceding set S in one repeat. Line glue 4 'is applied on the middle folding line on the back side of the third and fifth saddle stitching pieces 1a, 1c, 1e every other piece from the first to the middle, and then the sixth and seventh middle parts of the preceding set S After skipping the binding pieces 1f and 1g and the first saddle stitch piece 1a 'of the succeeding set S', the second, fourth and sixth saddle stitching pieces 1b ', 1d' and 1f of the succeeding set S 'are skipped. Apply line paste 4 'on the middle folding line on the back side of'.

  On the other hand, in the front side gluing device 16, line glue 4 is applied on the front side folding lines of the fourth and sixth saddle stitch pieces 1b, 1d, and 1f every second to second piece of the preceding set S in one repeat. Next, line paste 4 is applied to the front side folding lines 1a ', 1c', 1e 'of the first to third, fifth saddle stitch pieces 1a', 1c ', and 1e' of the subsequent set S 'that is every other piece. The above-mentioned operations are sequentially repeated by skipping the first saddle stitching piece 1a of the preceding set S of the sixth and seventh and the next one repeat not shown.

  The continuous paper 1 on which the vertical perforations 3 and the line pastes 4 and 4 ′ are applied as described above is pulled and pulled by the pulling roller 17 to the folding and cutting device 11.

  The continuous paper 1 in the folding and cutting device 11 is fed with a folding line 2 shown in FIG. Next, the continuous paper 1 is swung out in a zigzag manner according to the swinging motion of the swinging shooter device 19 and is folded along the folding line 2, and at the same time by intermittent operation of the nozzle roller 31 of the swinging shooter device 19. Cutting is performed at the folding line 2 for each number of binding pieces.

  In the above operation, the first saddle stitching piece 1a of the preceding set S of 1 repeat is swung to the right side as shown in the swinging shooter device 19 of the folding cutting device 11 shown in FIG. Folded to the side and cut with the back side of the seventh saddle stitch piece 1g facing upward. Then, the preceding set S moves vertically downward while being folded along the creases by the screws 21 and 21 and the blades 20 and 20, and dropped onto the first conveyor 22.

  The intermittent transport conveyor 22 is stopped during the fall of the preceding set S, and moves intermittently over a distance P as shown in FIG.

  The first saddle stitching piece 1a 'of the succeeding set S' following the preceding set S is swung to the left in the drawing and folded back with the back side downward, and the front side of the seventh saddle stitching piece 1g 'faces upward. It is cut in the state. Then, the subsequent set S ′ falls onto the intermittent conveyor 22 which is stopped in the same manner as the preceding set S, and is then intermittently conveyed by the distance P.

  The above operation is repeated for each repeat, and each set S, S ′ becomes an intermediate product A and is intermittently conveyed by a distance P by the intermittent conveyance conveyor 22 as shown in FIG. Thereafter, each intermediate product A is fast-forwarded by the first and second high-speed transport conveyors 23a and 23b and separated one by one, and is pressed by the pressing roller 23c to glue each saddle stitch piece. At this time, the line paste 4, 4 'is applied at a position overlapping the vertical perforation 3, so that each line paste 4, 4' penetrates the vertical perforation 3 and Glue is satisfactorily glued by these line pastes 4, 4 '.

  3 is substantially the same as the case of the saddle-stitched booklet, but the continuous paper 5 in this case is half the width of the continuous paper 1 for the saddle-stitched booklet. No processing is required. Then, as shown in FIG. 3 with both the back side and front side gluing devices 15 and 16, the back side and the front side of the flat binding piece except for the fifth flat binding piece 5d at one side end of the continuous paper 5 respectively. Apply line paste every other piece. The folding cutting and the separating and conveying direction for each set are the same as in the case of the saddle stitch booklet described above.

  Gluing by the gluing devices 15 and 16 is for the half-stitched booklet, which is half the width of the continuous paper 1 for saddle-stitched booklet because it is intermediate in the width direction of the continuous paper 1 for saddle-stitched booklet. In the case of the continuous paper 5, as shown in FIG. 3, it is applied to the left end portion in the running direction.

  In the apparatus of the present invention, even when the number of pages is different for each set, it is sufficient to print a bookbinding mark that matches the page when preprinting on the continuous paper 1 or 5, and when preprinting with an inkjet printer or the like. By printing with different contents for each set, it is possible to manufacture booklets C and E with different numbers of pages and contents for each set.

  Furthermore, when the folding cutting device 11 cuts to a predetermined number of folded pieces, the folded pieces may be cut on the upstream side in the discharge direction or the downstream side in the discharge direction. By sending the cutting position by the intermittent conveying conveyor 22 at the timing when the cutting position is discharged from the screws 21 and 21, it can be sent out in a glued set.

  When the number of folded pieces in one set is an even number, the cutting position does not change and is the same as the previous cutting position, and the first piece comes on the same surface side on the front and back of the previous one set.

  In addition, when the number of folded pieces in one set is an odd number, the cutting position changes from the upstream side to the downstream side or vice versa, but the first piece of the set after that is the front side. In this case, printing processing may be performed at the time of pre-printing based on the regularity that is opposite to the first set on the back side, or vice versa.

  In other words, if the number of folds in one set is an odd number, if the first page of the preceding set is the front side, the first page of the subsequent set is on the back side, or vice versa. If the first page is the back side, the first page of the following set is preprinted on the front side, and the first page of each set is preprinted on the continuous paper based on the regularity that makes the front and back opposite.

  Even if the number of folded pieces in one set is an odd number and the cutting position in the folding and cutting device 11 changes between the upstream side and the downstream side in the transport direction after cutting, The cut product, that is, the booklet-like product can be carried out and conveyed continuously without requiring a spare piece continuous with the final odd-numbered piece and without becoming an obstacle to the production line.

  In the apparatus for producing the saddle stitched booklet and the flat stitched booklet C, E, the configuration of the downstream part of the intermediate product forming part F for forming the intermediate products A, D shown in FIG. explain.

  11 and 12 show a saddle stitch booklet processing portion G for processing the intermediate product A of the saddle stitch booklet C into the saddle stitch booklet C. FIG. 11 is a plan view thereof, and FIG. 12 is a side view thereof.

  In the figure, reference numeral 41 denotes a chopper folding device arranged at the downstream end of the second high-speed conveyor 23b of the intermediate product forming section F.
