Patent ID: 7326019

Claim:
A method for binding a sheet stack ( 21 ) into a binder ( 20 ) that comprises a binder spine ( 24 ) having an adhesive strip ( 25 ) present on its inner side, the sheet stack ( 21 ) being inserted into the binder ( 20 ) in such a way that the stack's end face comes into contact with the adhesive strip ( 25 ), after which the sheet stack ( 21 ) is compressed by means of a pressing device ( 2 , 3 , 8 , 9 ), fanning out the end face ( 26 ) of the sheet stack ( 21 ); and thereafter, in that state, an adhesive bond is created between the binder spine ( 24 ) and the sheet stack ( 21 ), wherein upon compression of the sheet stack ( 21 ), the pressing device ( 2 , 3 , 8 , 9 ) exerts a linear pressure either directly onto the sheet stack ( 21 ) or from outside onto the binder ( 20 ).
