0002

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, booklets such as bankbooks have been manufactured in the following manner. That is, as shown in FIG.
A sheet-like workpiece 1 is created by stacking a plurality of printed sheets of a predetermined shape, for example, 3 to 4 sheets, and gluing one side to the top. In this case, the top-glued portion becomes the top-glued portion 3. Initially, the sheet-like works 1 are piled up (FIG. 7(a)).

Next, the sheet-like workpiece 1 consisting of a plurality of printed sheets is conveyed one by one by a conveyor or the like, and the central part of the sheet-like workpiece 1 is sewn to join each sheet, and the sewing thread section 4 (Fig. 7(b)). Then figure 7
As shown in (c), a cover 2 is pasted on one side of the sheet-like workpiece 1, for example, on the back side. Next, after pressing the sheet work 1 to improve the adhesiveness of the cover 2,
As shown in FIG. 7(d), the top glued portion 3 of the sheet-like workpiece 1 is cut by the cutting blade 5. The top gluing section 3 functions to prevent the printed sheets from falling apart before being sewn, but after the printed sheets are joined together by the sewing machine, it becomes unnecessary and must be cut.

Next, as shown in FIG. 7(e), a creasing blade 6 is pressed against the sheet-like workpiece 1 along the sewing thread section 4 to create creasing, and the cover 2 is turned outward. Fold it (Figure 7(f)). In this way, a bankbook 8 as shown in FIG. 7(g) is manufactured.

By the way, the gluing work of gluing the cover 2 onto the sheet-like workpiece 1 is performed by applying glue to the cover 2 in advance.
This is done by overlapping and pressing the and sheet-like workpieces together between a drum and a nip roller of a cover pasting machine.

In this case, the sheet-like workpiece 1 is conveyed from the previous process by an operator in a plurality of bundles of a certain amount, and is manually set in the feeder of the cover pasting machine. Each sheet-like workpiece is taken out from the sheet-like workpiece 1 and pasting work is performed. However, with this method, when the gluing work for each bundle of sheet work is completed, it is necessary to temporarily stop the gluing work and set the next bundle of sheet work in the cover pasting machine feeder. This not only made it impossible to perform continuous work, but also required a long time to set the sheet-like workpieces.

In addition, in order to improve efficiency, a large number of sheet-like works are loaded into the feeder of the cover pasting machine at one time, so it is necessary to make adjustments that require skill to make the stacking state of the sheet-like works uniform. It was not possible to stably take out each sheet-like workpiece.

[0008] The present invention has been made in consideration of these points, and it is possible to continuously and quickly paste a cover onto a sheet-like workpiece, and it is also possible to easily integrate the cover in-line with the upstream process. The purpose is to provide a cover pasting machine that is
