Method of adhesively binding documents, and apparatus for implementing the method

摘要

The documents (12) are bound by means of a layer of fusible material (12b) arranged in an annular fashion around the stapling holes (12a) of a marginal perforation of the document. The binding can be carried out by means of a very simple device which takes up little space. The binding region takes up only a small part of the surface of the document which can be used for writing, and the document can be filed immediately after binding. <IMAGE>
