Self-actuated book sections feeder.

摘要

A self-actuated book section feeder (20) for use to feed automatically book sections to an apparatus for binding these sections together. This feeder comprises a table (42); a continuous conveyor (22) mounted on the table (42); a motor (88) secured to the table (42) for driving the conveyor (22); and a detector (54) mounted on the table (42) and connected to the motor (88) via a relay (92) for actuating and stopping the motor (88). In use, the detector (54) senses the presence or absence of book sections at the delivering end (53) of the conveyor (22), and then automatically actuate or stop the continuous conveyor (22) to bring more book sections. <IMAGE>
