Method of binding printed products with a binding machine and a binding machine for carrying out the method.

摘要

The method involves introducing a printed product (6) in a product travel direction (13) between a stitcher head (19) and a bending device (18). The device is moved back into a position in a direction transverse to the travel direction. The introduced product is securely held by moving the head toward the device in the direction transverse to the product travel direction. A wire stitch is driven into the securely held product via the head, and the driven wire stitch is closed by a closing movement of the device. The stitched product is released after closing of the wire stitch. An independent claim is also included for a stitching machine for stitching printed products, comprising a stitcher head traveling concomitantly with a conveyed printed product in a product travel direction.
