As is apparent from the above description, according to the slicing device for magazines and the like according to the present invention, the books can be placed on the alignment conveyor in a state of standing up and packed forward, so that the entire length of the alignment conveyor. A large number of books can be placed on the aligning conveyor for cutting out without lengthening, and the frequency of supplying the books to the aligning conveyor can be reduced. Also, unlike the conventional case, it is only necessary to put the books to be placed on the alignment conveyor in a state of being packed up in the front without being partially stacked, so that the work of placing the books on the alignment conveyor is also possible. It's easy.

Further, according to the present invention, the book at the foremost position on the alignment conveyor is adsorbed and integrated by the slider and transferred to the carry-out conveyor side, so that the book can be reliably cut out regardless of the size and type of the book, and the device The front and rear length can be made compact. Also, in conjunction with the operation of the slider of the cutting mechanism, or at a predetermined interval, the conveyor belt of the alignment conveyor moves intermittently forward, advancing the entire book on the alignment conveyor and contacting the next book with the contact reference guide. Since the state is set to, the reliable continuous cutting operation is guaranteed.

Further, claim 2 (3) is a swing arm (slide member) which is a cutting mechanism in which a book is sucked and held by a suction cup.
Since the book is cut out one by one by swinging (sliding), the structure is simple and the book can be cut out at high speed. According to claim 4 (5), since the book is cut out one by one by adsorbing and carrying the book on the belt of the suction conveyance belt conveyor, the structure is simple, and the cutout and size of the vinyl-wrapped book can be reduced. It is also possible to cut out different books.
