METHOD OF BINDING BOOKS AT AN INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION LEVEL AND BOOK THEREBY OBTAINED

摘要

A method for industrially binding books comprises the steps of forming a loose sheet pack (1) having a flat spine (2), applying an adhesive and headbands (3) directly to the flat spine and bowing this latter with the headbands (3) thereon, thereby causing the pack sheet to exert a draw action on the headbands (3) during the spine bowing step. Thus a complete and precise adhesion of the headbands to the book spine is obtained while conferring to the headbands a mechanical retention function as well.
