Abstract
In an adhesive binder sheets received in an upper tray are driven past an adhesive applicator, through an inverting path and into a lower tray where the sheets are jogged and aligned. As the sheets are moved past the adhesive applicator, adhesive is applied to all but one sheet so that the sheets in the lower tray have adhesive between each two adjacent sheets. After a complete set of sheets are received in the lower tray, a bar applies pressure to the sheets in the area of the adhesive to form a booklet, and then the completed booklet is removed from the lower hopper. In accordance with the apparatus and method of the present invention, the first two sheets of a set of sheets are offset and then stopped during movement between the upper tray and the lower tray in order to provide sufficient time for the preceeding booklet to be finished and removed from the lower tray.
