Abstract
A conveyor for use with a machine which applies covers to books of the type where the individual pages are loosely bound by means of mechanical binder elements having rounded teeth. The conveyor includes multiple saddle plates, coupled to endless chains, which are caused to move into engagement with the bound batches of pages. The saddle plates are provided with serrated leading edge portions which fit between the teeth of the binding elements to accurately position the bound pages relative to the saddle plates.
