APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ATTACHING EDGING TO SHEET

摘要

An apparatus for attaching edging (13) to sheet (12) has two stationary guides (5,8) at each end. An upper hollow guide (8) is mounted on top of a lower guide (5). A fixed base (4) is placed between the lower guides (5). A hollow profile (1) is vertically movable between the guides. A binding rail (2) is placed on the underside of the profile (1). The upper guide (8) is placed inside the profile. A space (9) is created between the upper interior of the profile and the upper exterior of the upper guide. Another space (7) is created between the lower interior of the profile and the lower exterior side of the upper guide. A flexible element (10,11)' is placed in each space. The elements can in turn be filled or emptied with a gas or a liquid. The fixed base is preferably provided with magnets. In use the upper flexible element (10) is filled and the lower (11) is emptied. An edging and a sheet is placed between the fixed base (4) and the binding rail (2). The upper element (10) is emptied and the lower (11 ) is filled forcing the profile and thus the binding rail down in order to attach the edging. Hereafter the upper flexible element (10) is filled and the lower (11) is emptied to release the sheet with the attached edging. The sheets are preferably posters and pictures and the edging is preferably metallic or magnetic.
