摘要：A stack (10) of sheets of sheet material is stapled along an axis (11) and fed to aposition from which it is folded along the axis (11) by a blade (13) to form a booklethaving a curved spine. The blade (13) also inserts the booklet into a position betweenclamping jaws (12) and determines its final position therebetween. Rotatable guiderollers (25) guide the sheets into the gap and are fitted with one-way clutches to resistupward movement of the folded sheets upon retraction of the blade from the gap. In afirst mode of operation, the curved spine of the booklet protrudes a short distancebeyond the jaws. The spine is then flattened by a forming roller which passes along thespine. In a second mode of operation, the spinal portion lies between the jaws and thecurved end surface is flattened by the clamping force alone. The first mode is suited tobooklets having 10 or more sheets; the second to booklets having fewer than 10 sheetsor having loop staples and any number of sheets.
