Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] 3. Detailed Description of the Invention (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a bookbinding device, and more particularly, to a fully automatic cover pasting device that automatically pastes a cover and a cover. The present invention relates to an improvement of the book binding transfer/alignment means in this apparatus.

(Prior Art) In Japanese Patent Application No. 59-105516 (filed on May 23, 1980), the present inventor disclosed a method for changing the direction of articles for sequentially arranging bound books prepared by a cover pasting device. proposed a mechanism. In addition, the same inventor filed patent application No. 59-11225
In No. 9 (filed on May 31, 1980), we proposed a fully automatic cover pasting device that automatically pasted the inner cover and the cover using the above-mentioned direction change mechanism.

The above-mentioned fully automatic cover pasting device employs a cover separating means, a cover conveying means, a middle limit conveying means, a middle limit gluing means, a means for crimping the cover and the inner cover, and the direction changing mechanism of the above-mentioned earlier application in the device housing. a bookbinding transfer/aligning means, a vertically reciprocating drive pushing-up means for combining the cover and booklet sent by the cover transfer means and intermediate transfer means, and sending the combined booklet through the gluing means and the crimping means to the bookbinding transfer/alignment means; These drive control means are compactly equipped. In the fully automatic cover pasting device, the cover separation means, cover and intermediate transfer means, bookbinding transfer/alignment means, and push-up means are controlled according to a desired time program by a drive control means including one main motor. Driven. In addition, the lifting means used in this fully automatic cover pasting includes an inner cover plate, and this inner cover plate is inserted from below into the inner cover, which is separated and transferred one by one with the spine facing up, and is inserted one by one into the inner cover. It is capable of reciprocating up and down so as to combine the inner cover with the separated and transported cover, and from this combined position pass through the gluing means and the pressing means and move up to the bookbinding transfer and alignment means. On the other hand, the bookbinding transfer/alignment means exists near the second dead center of the inner cover plate, is pushed by the inner cover plate, and is released from its restraint by the return movement of the inner cover plate. The purpose is to transfer and align the bound books onto an alignment table.

This fully automatic cover pasting device has become widely popular because of its compact structure and the ability to dynamically and quickly perform the processes from cover separation to binding and transfer.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the above-mentioned device, the stroke of the vertical and reciprocating drive of the inner cover plate is constant, and the position of the alignment table of the binding transfer/alignment means remains unchanged. Therefore, depending on the size of the book binding to be bound, when the book binding plate is at the top dead center, there will be a gap between the book binding and the alignment table, and the book binding plate will quickly move back and bind it. When the binding was released, due to the existence of this gap, the bound booklets would fall rapidly onto the sorting table, and the resulting force would sometimes cause problems such as the booklets toppling over on the sorting table and the next bookbinding being piled up on top of it. .

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and aims to solve the above-mentioned problems by making it possible to adjust the vertical position of the binding transfer and alignment means in a fully automatic cover pasting device. .
