Abstract:
A title sheet inserting machine for inserting a title sheet into a foldable case adapted to receive an optical disk therein, wherein said case includes a case body having a body portion and a lid portion foldably connected to said body portion, and a flexible transparent cover sheet provided on an outer surface of said case body, and wherein said title sheet inserting machine comprises:a space forming mechanism adapted to deform said case body by relatively unfolding said lid portion and said body portion into an inverted V-shape with said outer surface facing downwardly, and to bend said cover sheet into a general V-shape hanging downwardly from said case body at least partly due to a self-weight of said cover sheet, so as to form an insertion space between said case body and said cover sheet; an upper mold having a corrugated first contact face with air apertures therein, wherein said air apertures are adapted selectively to have suction applied thereto for suction-holding a title sheet on said first contact face and to have compressed air provided thereto for releasing said title sheet from said first contact face, and wherein said upper mold is movable relative to said space forming mechanism so that said upper mold is insertable into said insertion space; and a lower mold that is positioned opposite and facing said upper mold, that has a corrugated second contact face with a corrugation corresponding inversely to said corrugated first contact face of said upper mold, and that is relatively movable toward and away from said upper mold.
