Abstract: 1,240,904. Bookbinding machine. MAISON MAME, M. ENARD, and J. LAVELLE. 9 April, 1969, No. 18300/69. Heading B6A. A machine for attaching bookmarkers to books 4, 4a, Fig. 1, advanced intermittently by power oscillated and cam-controlled grippers 7 via a guide channel 5 into a book opening device formed by spreaders 8 and inclined support plates 10, 11, Fig. 3, is provided with a tape supply for formation of the bookmarkers which are advanced between the pages of the book by a pair of gripper devices 15, Fig. 3, which are reciprocated by a fluid actuated carriage 16 and which co-operate with a further pair of gripper devices 19 disposed for pivotal movement below the gripper devices 15. The bookmarkers are formed by displacing spreaders 15d, Fig. 2, between the grippers 15a to clamp a respective length of the tape 12a between them, the tapes being supplied from respective rolls 12 and fed past tensioning rollers 21, guide rollers 22 and heated ironing plates 23 into the book interior on displacement of the gripper devices 15 (one of which only is shown) on actuation of the carriage 16 by a linkage 17b, 17 under the control of a cam 18 mounted on a driving shaft 3. With the gripper devices 15 disposed in the interior of the books the lower gripper devices 19 are pivoted upwardly and the grippers 19a are closed to grip the ends of  the lengths of tape which will form the bookmarker, when the lengths of tape are severed by a cutter 25, 25a following application of the tapes against the cutter blade 25a, on subsequent downward pivotal movement of the lower gripper devices 19. The books are then discharged vertically downwardly into a shoot 36, Fig. 3, by downward pivoting of flaps 27, 28 and deposited by a vertically reciprocated grid platform 30 on to a roller conveyer 32, Fig. 1, which advances the books to a glue applicator roller 39. The glue applicator roller 39 is oscillated by an electromagnet 38 to apply a pair of lines of adhesive to the book spine such that the free ends 40 of the bookmarker which are aligned by a suction nozzle 41 can be applied to the adhesive by a set of rollers 42. The books which are discharged from the roller conveyer are advanced to the glue applicator roller 39 and the rollers 42 by a pair of spaced slat conveyers 33.
