Abstract
A machine for casing inner books into book cases by gluing the outer end papers of an inner book to the inner surfaces of the covers of a book case, having a conveyor, which at cyclical intervals feeds successive inner books with the spine directed upwards in a vertical plane of motion to a cyclically fed book case, which is held in position in the plane of motion of the inner book, and having means for moving the covers up against the inner book and joining the end papers and book covers, is, in view of a compact design which is less expensive to manufacture, characterised by a feeding conveyor ( ), which feeds the inner book ( ) with the spine directed upwards to a lower receiving point and has a device ( ) for spreading apart the outer end papers ( ) of the inner book ( ), and by a gripper ( ), which grasps the inner book ( ) between the spread-apart outer end papers ( ) and conveys it from the lower receiving point to an upper joining point.
