An apparatus is provided for applying a covering film to a book 54. The apparatus has a gate mechanism 34, 36 having open and closed states, which in the closed state presents a front surface 14 against which a covering film 52 may be overlaid. The spine of a book is pressed onto the covering film overlaying the front surface. The gate is then opened to admit the book to a space rearward of the gate beyond the front surface, such that the book draws the covering film into that space. A laminating mechanism is positioned rearwardly of the gate top receive the book and laminate the film against the front and rear covers to cover the book with the film. The laminating mechanism may further comprise a pair of heated pressure rollers 48, 50 which receive the book and compress the film against the front and rear covers. |
