Abstract

See full text

A binding apparatus for bookbinding strips with flexible studs. The binding apparatus includes a frame having a recess shaped to receive the female strip and a platen for supporting the sheets to be bound. A compression member on the frame compresses the male and female strips toward one another with said sheets positioned between the strips. At least one carriage assembly is mounted to the frame and the compression member for movement parallel to the strips. The carriage assembly engages the compression member for applying a compressive force thereto and has at least one stud-bending member shaped and positioned to engage the excess length of the studs extending beyond the female strip and bend the excess length into grooves in the female strip as the carriage assembly is moved relative to the compression member and the frame.
