Abstract
A machine for the continuous binding of books and booklets, includes clamps mounted on a chain for the transport of groups of sheets to be bound along various stations. Each clamp is provided with a manual opening mechanism. A sheet levelling device includes two parallel horizontal plates joined by connecting elements, the lower of which is permanently fixed to the machine, while the upper of which supports a horizontal levelling table provided with vibrators. Trimming millers are also provided. A glue spreading unit with rollers and blades includes two complementary parts. A first one of the parts is hinged to a structure of the machine, can be rotated laterally and supports a second interchangeable one of the parts that in turn supports a glue tank, the rollers and the blades.
