Method for making booklet with any specification and thickness by means of metal-wire comb binding

Abstract

A method for allowing to directly manufacturing wire binding elements during a binding process in response to the respective paper size and thickness of a pamphlet to bind and the requirements of the wire binding elements by improving a method for accepting the wire binding element through a hole train 12 provided along the edge part of sheet-like materials to be printed 11 in order to loosely bind the pamphlet consisting of a plurality of sheet-like materials to be printed in a method for producing the pamphlet with the arbitrary paper side and thickness by a wire-comb binding. At least one wire binding element 41 harmonized with the respective paper size and thickness of the pamphlet is produced just before a binding process, when necessary.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing booklets of any size and thickness by means of wire comb binding (device). The corresponding gauge and thickness of the booklet is adapted to the wire binding and is received in a row of perforations arranged along the edges of the sheets. Background technique [0002] So-called Wire-O using different sizes TM Wire binding (registered trademark) methods for producing booklets are known, for example, from European patent applications 0 095 243-A1 and 0 095 245-B1. [0003] A Wire-O wire binder is defined as wire loops 44 spaced parallel to each other, having a loop length L, a loop distance A, and a wire diameter D, as figure 2 shown, and deformed into a Wire-O ring with a suitable closing device. [0004] The binding apparatus used in the above-mentioned patent application is constructed in such a way that the processing of Wire-O wire binders with different loop distances and variants of loop ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] The binding apparatus used in the above-mentioned patent application is constructed in such a way that it is possible to process Wire-O wire binders with different loop distances and variants of loop length

[0005] Usually, this has the disadvantage that in order to bind booklets of different sizes and thicknesses, the wire binders required for this have to be prepared from several pre-formed binder parts, such as rolls or cut to length. The form of the piece is provided to the binding equipment

Therefore the production of small publications is uneconomical and takes a long time due to the adaptation of the equipment
