Problems solved by technology

When the pasting and bookbinding apparatus disclosed in the Patent Document 1 is used, the strength of the booklet having been pasted and bound is insufficient due to the limited pasting area on the spine portion of a sheet bundle.
In a bookbinding apparatus wherein multiple notched grooves are formed on the end side of a sheet bundle using a milling machine, and adhesive is then applied to the end side of the sheet bundle having notched grooves thereon, there remain the problems of an increased apparatus size and increased production costs if the milling machine is incorporated in the bookbinding apparatus, because of the large size of the milling machine.
These problems will lead to drawbacks in an image forming system which includes a directly coupled bookbinding apparatus wherein an image forming apparatus is used as a printing apparatus.

Abstract

A bookbinding apparatus for providing wrapping-binding of a booklet by bonding a cover sheet on the spine portion of a sheet bundle to wrap the sheet bundle with the cover sheet, wherein the sheet conveyance path of the bookbinding apparatus includes a notch forming device to form notches on the end to be coated with adhesive when the sheet is subjected to bookbinding process.

Description

[0001] This application is based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2005-251000 filed on Aug. 31, 2005 in Japanese Patent Office, the entire content of which is hereby incorporated by reference. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to a bookbinding apparatus that makes a booklet by covering the spine portion, the from and the back of the bundle of sheets with a cover sheet, and in particular, to an image forming system equipped with a bookbinding apparatus which can be connected to an image forming apparatus body such as a copying machine, a facsimile machine or a printer to be applied. [0003] Bookbinding is known as a method of binding a bundle of sheets as a collection of printed sheets by stapling or pasting. [0004] Apparatuses known as a pasting and bookbinding apparatus include a device to jet paste on a sheet by using a paste jetting nozzle, a device wherein a paste roller is installed in a paste container, and paste adheres to an outer circumferenc...
