PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a low-cost bookbinder tool usable for either sheets with pucned hole or ones without punched hole and allowing flat opening of pages. SOLUTION: The bookbinding system contains a stud-shaped flexible binding member having top and bottom caps. A staple of a signature projects from the signature itself to form a stud hole, and the stud is inserted into this signature staple. The binding member may be made of an optional material of a high flexibility including silicone or metal, as long as the signature can be opened flat on both the signature interface or the optional signature body. Also the flexible binding member can be used to temporarily bind previously-punched pages of a book. This is achieved by inserting the flexible binding member into the previously-punched holes to allow the book to be easily opened flat. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI |
