In order to realize a particularly compact binding-in machine ( 40 ), the pressing devices ( 41 ) with the firmly assigned joint forming devices ( 42 ) can be driven along a circulation path that essentially lies in a vertical plane, wherein the pressing plates ( 41.1 ) of the pressing devices ( 41 ) are oriented parallel to this plane. The pressing devices ( 41 ) and the joint forming devices ( 42 ) are simply arranged on a rotor ( 40.3 ) that rotates about a horizontal axis ( 40.4 ), wherein the axis of rotation ( 40.4 ) of the rotor is oriented perpendicular to the pressing plates ( 41.0 ). This significantly simplifies the infeed and the delivery of the books ( 1 ). |
