2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a means for binding the upper edge of a plurality of calendar page books constituting a monthly calendar, a metal binding metal fitting is fitted to the upper edge of the paper, and the binding metal fitting is used. A structure has been widely known in which a plurality of calendar page booklets are integrally fixed by pressing with a press and winding. However, in this type of calender, metal bindings cannot be incinerated, so a large amount of non-incineration metal bindings will be sent to incinerators nationwide at the time of disposal at the end of the year. Therefore, from the viewpoint of saving resources, there is an increasing tendency to avoid the use of binding metal fittings and use binding tools made of a flammable material such as cardboard.

[0003]

Under these circumstances, a calender using a binding tool made of cardboard is already known in the past, but a calender using a binding tool made of cardboard is made of metal. There is a problem that the process becomes complicated and production efficiency is inferior as compared with the case where the binding metal fitting is used.

The reason for this is that in the case of using a metal binding metal fitting, after a plurality of calendar pages are put together in a booklet by a collator, the booklet is sent to a press device and the upper edge of the booklet is sent. The process is completed by directly fitting a metal binding metal to and tightening with a press, but in the case of a calendar that uses a binding tool made of cardboard, before attaching the binding tool made of cardboard to the upper edge of the booklet, It is necessary to perform a step of forming a large number of adhesive filling holes in the upper edge of the booklet and a step of filling an adhesive into the adhesive filling holes. This is because the cardboard binding tool can be adhered and pressure-bonded to the top edge of the booklet only after the adhesive filling step.

As a concrete means for manufacturing a calender with such a thick paper binding tool, conventionally, for the purpose of increasing the production efficiency, the collected booklets are continuously stopped without being stopped by a transfer conveyor. While transferring, by the mechanism for piercing the adhesive filling hole, the mechanism for filling the adhesive, and the crimping mechanism for the binding tool, the piercing of the filling hole, the filling of the adhesive, and the crimping of the binding tool are linked. A binding device that is designed to perform the above is produced as a prototype.

However, in this binding device, various steps such as forming a filling hole in the upper edge of the booklet are continuously carried out in an interlocked manner without stopping the transfer conveyor, so that the manufacturing efficiency is improved. However, under continuous movement of the transfer conveyor, performing the respective steps such as punching of filling holes, filling of adhesive, crimping of the binding tool, and the like of the movement of the booklet by the conveyor. The movements of various mechanisms such as the punching mechanism must be perfectly synchronized with each other without any waste, and if there is a slight deviation in the movements of the various mechanisms, there is a problem in that a perfectly shaped calender cannot be manufactured. is doing.
