Abstract
A section feeder for a book binding machine is provided with a pair of parallel guide plates (11A), (11B) attached to a base (10) in order to form a section conveying path therebetween, the section conveying path extending from a section supply station to a section delivery station, parallel guide slits (12A), (12B) formed on the guide plates, an elevating rod (14A), (14B) horizontally extending from the outside of each guide plate into the section conveying path through each guide slit (12A), (12B), the elevating rods associated with the same guide plate being movable all at once in such a manner that they reciprocate along said guide slits and enter into the section conveying path upon reaching the section supply station and retreat from the section conveying path upon reaching the section delivery station, the elevating rods associated with the different guide plates alternately moving upwardly and downwardly, whereby sections are lifted without tilting by a flat section support surface formed on the elevating rods from the section supply station to the section delivery station.
