HEAVY DUTY BINDING APPARATUS Filed Nov. 17, 1964 I N VEN TOR.
WALLY CHARLES HOFF United States Patent 3,261,044 HEAVY DUTY BINDING APPARATUS Wally Charles Hoff, Auewen Drive, Toronto, Ontario, Canada Filed Nov. 17, 1964, Ser. No. 411,824 1 Claim. (Cl. 111) This invention relates to a heavy duty paper binding apparatus and is particularly suited for the binding of papers and booklets for resale or for heavy use.
Various forms of binding machines are available which are particularly suited for binding pads of papers for office use or for binding papers for storage. One such device is described in United States Letters Patent No. 3,146,473 issued on September 1, 1964. Such binding machines provide a good adhesive bond between the edges of a stack of sheets of paper by bonding a layer of adhesive bonding mate-rial along the exposed edges when the same are stacked together and held tightly in position. Such edge bonding is adequate for light usage such as is found in offices and in the binding of so-called dead files and correspondence. However, when it is desired to bond larger pads of paper and when it is desired to bond pads of paper for resale as booklets or for continuous heavy wear, it is often found that a mere bond along the edges of the paper in a stack is insuflicient to secure adequate adhesion and sheets become loosened.
This problem can be overcome by providing a film of adhesive material along a peripheral margin of each sheet adjacent to the edges to be bound whereby to establish a bonding zone extending between one-eighth "and one-quarter of an inch from the edge of the sheets thereby providing bonding between the marginal portions of the opposed faces of each sheet in the stack instead of merely along their exposed edges. However, such prior apparatus as has been available has not proved satisfactory for this purpose since, in the majority of such machines, the individual sheets of paper were clamped too tightly together thereby preventing the application of adhesive along such marginal portions.
Accordingly, it is an objective of the present invention to provide apparatus for binding sheet material which is arranged to hold the material in a manner facilitating the application of adhesive thereto.
More particularly, it is an objective of the present invention to provide apparatus having the foregoing advantages which holds the material in three different operating stations without disturbing the arrangement thereof.
More particularly, it is an objective of the present invention to provide apparatus having the foregoing advantages which is provided with heating means for setting the adhesive material which can be directed from various positions.
A preferred embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example only with reference to the following drawings in which like reference devices refer to like parts thereof throughout the various views and diagrams and in which:
FIGURE 1 is a perspective illustration of a binding machine according to the present invention;
FIGURE '2 is an enlarged perspective illustration of a portion of the apparatus shown in FIGURE 1; and
FIGURE 3 is a schematic side elevation of the apparatus shown in FIGURE 1 showing the three positions of the sheet material and the different positions of the heating means in phantom form.
From FIGURE 1 it will be seen that the binding apparatus according to the present invention comprises a body portion or casing 10 having a front panel 11 and a back panel 12 and opposed side panels 13 provided with hand holds 14 therein for carrying of the apparatus.
'ice
Towards the upper end of casing 10 clamping table 15 is provided being pivotally mounted about an axis substantially along its point of balance by means of bolts 16 for swinging between a downwardly directed position and a vertically oriented position. Abutment plates 17 are fastened to either side of table 15 for locating a stack of paper such as P thereon and a paper clamping bar 18 is provided, slidably mounted on clamping posts 19 and is lockable in any desired position thereon by means of the spring locking member 20 extending along the interior of bar 18 and movable outwardly to engagement with clamping posts 19 by means of locking levers 21. The operation of clamping bar 18, locking member 20 and locking levers 21 is more particularly described in United States Patent No. 3,146,473 issued September 1, 1964, which description has accordingly been omitted from this description for the sake of clarity. Table 15 may be fastened in three different positions by means of bracket 22 provided with .a series of holes 23 therethrough for reception of a locking shaft (not shown) connected to and operated by knob 24.
Towards the lower front portion of casing 10 paper abutment plate 25 is adjustably located on support flanges 26 to which it is releasably fastened by means of knurled screws 27. An electrical 0n-off switch 28 and heater timer switch 29 are supported just forward of member 25 for easy access.
Heating for curing of the adhesive applied to paper P is provided by means of a group of infrared heating elements of known design (not shown) which are contained within and supported by reflector housing 30 designed to focus such heating onto paper P and protect an operator from unnecessary discomfort. Reflector 30 is supported on the arched bracket 31 which is swingably mounted by means of bolts 32 to support bracket 33 fastened to the back 12 of housing 10. Butterfly nuts 34 are adjustable to provide frictional gripping of bracket 31 while rendering the same swingable to and fro between different positions.
In operation, a stack of paper P is first jogged on a separate piece of apparatus known as a jogger to provide an even stack having at least one smooth, regular edge which will provide the bound edge in the eventual stack. The stack of paper P is then manually lifted from such jogger (not shown) and is then brought to the apparatus described above. At this stage, table 15 will be swung downwardly in the position shown in solid lines in FIG URE 3 and the clamping bar 18 may if desired be completely removed from clamping posts 19 although this is not necessary so long as clamping bar 18 is slid upwardly away from table 15. Paper P is then placed on the surface of table 15 with the smooth even edge abutting against member 25 as shown in FIGURE 3 and with one other edge abutting against one of members 17. Clamping bar 18 is then manually slid downwardly along posts 19 and pressed firmly into engagement with the upper surface of paper P and locking levers 21 are then twisted outwardly away from one another thereby bringing locking member 20 into engagement with clamping posts 19 thereby forcing clamping bar 18 firmly downwardly against paper P and clamping the same firmly against table 15.
As soon as such adhesive has been satisfactorily applied there may, if desired, although this is not always necessary, be applied a layer of cloth material or webbing to the exposed edges of paper P by means of further application of adhesive, but in the majority of cases, the bonding between the sheets alone will be found to be sufficient without such additional material.
When the application of the adhesive is completed, button 24 is again pulled outwardly thereby releasing bracket 22 and table 15 is then swung upwardly into the vertical position shown in phantom form in FIGURE 3 with paper P oriented directly upwardly towards reflector 30. Electricity may then be switched on by operation of switch 28 and hearing may be applied for a predetermined length of time by operation of a timing switch 29. Where the stack of paper P is excessively thick and in all cases where the adhesive has been well worked in between the individual sheets as described above, it will be found advantageous to apply heat from various diflferent directions in order to secure complete curing of the adhesive. For this purpose, arch bracket 31 may be swung first rearwardly and then forwardly as shown in FIGURE 3 in phantom form without moving table 15 which at all times when in the vertical position, will again be locked in position by means of engagement of the locking shaft (not shown) attached to button 24 in engagement with support bracket 22. In this way, heat may be applied first from one side and then from the other side of paper P and thereby achieving complete curing of adhesive before paper P is released or disturbed from its predetermined arrangement.
Before using the apparatus for a particular run, i.e., binding of a large number of identical pads P, it may be necessary to readjust the location of abutment plate 25 by undoing screws 27 and moving plate 25 either towards or away from table 15 in order to provide the correct width of paper P exposed beyond clamping bar 1% to permit flexing thereof and introduction of adhesive as described above.
The foregoing is a description of a preferred embodiment of the invention only. The invention is not to be taken as limited to any of the specific features described but comprehends all such variations as come within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
What I claim is:
Apparatus for binding sheet paper and the like material and comprising: a housing for standing on a support or the like and having a base and side walls; a paper support plate swingably mounted on said housing about an axis extending between opposite sides of said housing; clamping means operable to clamp said paper to said support plate; housing abutment means on said housing for locating said paper on said support plate; threaded fastening members passing through said abutment means and a plurality of threaded holes formed in said housing for receiving the same; plate abutment means on said support plate for further locating said paper thereon; a plate locating member swingably mounted on said plate and having at least one locking opening therein; a locking plunger member slidably mounted in said housing and oriented to register with said opening; heating means supported on said housing substantially vertically above said axis of said plate; a mounting bracket carrying said heating means and hingedly connected to said housing for swinging of said heating means on either side of said axis of said plate; axle members passing through said bracket and said housing; and, threaded means on said axle members operable to adjustably clamp said bracket and said housing and locate said heating means in position.
