I FRIEDRICH SCHUBERT of Riesbach near Zurich, Switzerland, Bookbinder, do
hereby declare the nature of my invention to be as follows:-
•
This binding is intended for books which are roughly used such as school books,
military rules, childrens picture-books etcetera. The advantage of it is a much
cheaper manufacture and greater durability.
The manipulation is as follows: After having folded, assembled and pressed the
sheets they are glued on the back. The blank paper glued inside on both parts of the
binding boards receive linen folds. After having glued or pasted these blank papers
the book is trimmed on the three sides and a board-lap glued along the back. The
book is then glued into its binding.
The holes for the rivets are punched by a machine and little metal plates placed
along both sides of the back of the book are riveted with wires having little heads.
The sewing of single sheets which involves a great loss of time is done away with in
this binding.

The manipulation is as follows:-
After having folded assembled and pressed the sheets they are glued on the back.
The blank paper glued inside on both parts of the binding boards receive linen folds.
After having glued or pasted these blank papers the book is trimmed on the three
sides and a board lap glued along the back. The book is then glued into its
binding.
The holes for the rivets are punched by a machine and little metal plates placed
along both sides of the back of the book are riveted with wires having little heads.
The sewing of single sheets which involves a great loss of time is done away with in
this binding:
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 represents the back of a book' the sheets:
of which are bound together according to my invention...
After, the preliminary operations of folding the sheets pressing the same and
attaching the cover as above described rivet holes are punched through the binding
edges and over these holes on each side of the cover are placed metal plates a through
which are punched holes corresponding with the holes through the book and the whole
securely bound together by, wire; rivets the requisite length of wire being passed
through from one side to the other and the ends thereof flattened or bent so as to
ensure their remaining in position. The number of plates and rivets and the strength
thereof will of course depend on the size of the work to be bound.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is
The method of binding or securing together the leaves or sheets and the outer
covering of books or pamphlets by means of metal plates such as a and rivets /
substantially as specified:
