Apparatus of forming gummed member and method of binding document by using same

摘要

An apparatus of manufacturing a gummed member includes a supply spool (60), a support for conveying a continuous sheet of base member (10) from the supply spool, a funnel for depositing adhesive material on the continuous sheet of base member (10) to form a continuous layer thereon, cooling means (71), and means (72) for cutting the continuous sheet of base member (10) into base members having a releasable sheet (20) formed thereon. A method of binding papers of a document includes cutting a unit out of a base member formed thereon with a releasable sheet having a gummed member, removing the gummed member, adhering the gummed member to a spine of a hard cover, folding a cover to initially position papers therein, upright holding the cover and inserting same into a binding device for heating the gummed member to bind the papers in the cover, and cooling.
