Abstract

A method for bookbinding on a continuously-moving, constant-speed conveyer belt operation with the case or back-strip being centrally located on the axis of motion. As the case is formed between opposing rotary irons, glue or paste is then applied to the upper insides of both sides of the case. A book block is next dropped on one side of the case, the book block is aligned to register with the case; and the other side of the case is folded over to fasten to the upper side of the book block to form the book and prepare it for pressing and crimping of the building-in operation, without any interruption of the motion of the book along the conveyer system.
