A marking ribbon () is affixed to a book block () in that a partial book block () with at least one sheet () has the marking ribbon () is placed on the top sheet () before at least one other sheet () is deposited on the partial book block () with the marking ribbon () placed thereon during the additional gathering. The gathered book block () with the marking ribbon () is subsequently bound and trimmed on three sides at the non-bound edges.

Method and device for affixing a marking ribbon to a book or a brochure

A method for transferring book blocks or the like into a transport device of a bookbinding machine. The book block is first clamped in a force-locking manner. At least one corner of the back edge or of the front edge of the book block is aligned with a position, which can be set in a predefined manner, by relative displacement of the two sides of the book block in the plane of the book block. The book block is then clamped in a force-locking manner by the transport device.

Method and device for transferring book blocks into a transport device belonging to a bookbinding machine

A conveyer device for bookbinding machines having a number of processing stations and having plate or cleated chains or the like which take over book blocks and convey them intermittently to the processing stations. The plate or cleated chains are driven in a circulating manner and have chain beams that act in opposite directions to one another. The chain beams include longitudinal bearers and longitudinal guides on which strands of the plate or cleated chains are supported. In order to shorten the set-up time, the distance of the chain beams of the plate or cleated chains from one another is varied by a setting drive via setting members for the purpose of adapting to different thicknesses of book blocks. The thickness of a particular book block is automatically determined in the setting-up operation via a measuring arrangement in the intake. The thickness is communicated by a memory programmable control system directly to the setting drive as a reference value for the setting members for varying the distance between the chain beams.

Conveyor device for bookbinding machines

A delivery system for receiving book blocks discharged from a book-sewing machine on a transverse stack conveyor, the book blocks on the transverse stack being supported on their front edges and thus being vertically oriented, and rearranging the book blocks so as to be horizontally oriented. The delivery system subsequently reorients the horizontally arranged book blocks and collects the reoriented book blocks into stable stacks.
