Apparatus for cutting and binding multi-layered printed products

摘要

A multi-layered printed product is cross cut and stapled by being fed past a gripping and folding blade cylinder and cooperating binding and cutting cylinders. The binding and cutting cylinders have parallel but offset axes of rotation and define envelopes of rotation which intersect each other at a point which is before, in the direction of travel of the printed product, the point at which the binding and cutting cylinders cooperate with the gripping and folding blade cylinder.
