The web folding apparatus also includes a gluing apparatus configured to apply glue between the first running web and the second running web. The gluing apparatus is positioned in a predefined location facilitating in pasting the second running web over the first running web continuously over a longitudinally moving web.
[0006] In an embodiment of the present invention, the predefined position of the gluing apparatus is after the first set of formers and second set of formers and between the first running web and the second running web.
[0007] Further, nipping rollers are placed after the gluing apparatus to paste the first running web and the second running web by pushing the first running web and the second running web together after application of the glue for a predefined thickness. The predefined thickness is within a range of 2-7 mm. [0008] In an embodiment of the present invention, the gluing apparatus includes a glue pump, glue gun and control panel.
[0009] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first running web is at least one of: Standard News Print (SNP) and Glazed News Paper (GNP). Further, the second running web is at least one of: Standard News Print (SNP) and Glazed News Paper (GNP).

[0014] An offset printing press includes a former plate which may be triangular in shape and located above a plurality of nip rollers of a nip rolling assembly. The nipping rollers are pressure rollers that push a web towards the running direction and maintains the tension of the web. The web refers to a moving printing material that passes through various assemblies undergoing different transformations before being made into a readable material. The term "longitudinally moving web" is alternatively referred to herein as "moving web" or "running web". The former plate is mounted on the former plate fixing shaft. The offset printing press may be provided with a web folding apparatus.
[0015] Figure 1 illustrates a schematic view of the web folding apparatus in accordance with an embodiment of the invention. The web folding apparatus may include an adjustable folding assembly (102), a folding nose assembly, a first set of formers (104a), a second set of formers (104b), a plurality of nipping rollers (106) and a plurality of cylinders (108). The web folding may also include a first running web (112) and a second running web (110).
[0016] The first running web (112) and the second running web (110) may travel through the printing unit, where the paper may get printed. Further, the first running web (112) and the second running web (110) may pass through a plurality of turner Bars and folder super structure. Furthermore, the first running web (112) and the second running web (110) may pass through a plurality of formers. Also, from Roller on Top of Former (RTF), the first running web (112) and the second running web (110) may get their first fold through former and then the folded first running web (112) and the second running web (110) passes through a plurality of nipping rollers. In an embodiment of the present invention, the folding nose assembly may support the adjustable folding assembly in web folding.
[0017] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the first running web (112) may be a Standard News Print (SNP) or Glazed News Paper (GNP). Similarly, the second running web (110) may be a Standard News Print (SNP) or Glazed News Paper (GNP).
[0018] In operation, a first running web (112) may be configured to pass through the first set of formers (104a) and the second running web (110) configured to pass through the second set of formers (104b). Further, the first running web (112) and the second running web (110) may then pass downwardly over a plurality of guide rollers. The guide rollers facilitate in passing through the first running web (112) and the second running web (110) through the nipping rollers (106). In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first running web (112) may be a 4 page Glazed News Print (GNP) and the second running web (110) may be a multiple page folded newsprint.
[0019] Further, the gluing apparatus (114) may be positioned in a predefined location facilitating in pasting the second running web (110) over the first running web (112) continuously over a longitudinally moving web. Furthermore, the gluing apparatus may be configured to apply glue between the first running web (112) and the second running web (110). The gluing apparatus (114) may be positioned after the first set of formers (104a) and second set of formers (104b).
[0020] In an embodiment of the present invention, the gluing apparatus (114) consists of a glue Pump, a glue Gun and a control panel. The Glue gun is operated according the speed of the Press. After reaching a specific speed, the selected glue guns get ON and while stopping after reaching a specific speed, the glue gun switched OFF. Further, the operation of the gluing apparatus (114) may be adjusted via control panel. The control panel may be touch screen activated.
[0021] The gluing apparatus (114) may apply an adhesive along longitudinal lines on the running webs (110 and 112). In an embodiment of the present invention, the gluing apparatus (114) may apply the adhesive at an edge of the second running web (110) longitudinally. In an embodiment of the present invention, nipping rollers may be placed after the gluing apparatus (114) to paste the first running web (112) and the second running web (110) by pushing the first running web (112) and the second running web (114) together after application of the glue for a predefined thickness. The predefined thickness is within a range of 2-7 mm. [0022] The completed news book includes the GNP glued on top of a plurality of folded papers. In an embodiment of the present invention, the GNP is a 4-page GNP. The GNP is glued longitudinally along the edge of the plurality of folded papers. The GNP and the plurality of folded papers are bound along a common longitudinal edge.
[0023] Accordingly, the present invention provides the following effects or advantages.
