ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an apparatus for binding a number of sheets forming a stack along one of their edges by means of an essentially U-shaped deformable channel. The apparatus has a support for depositing horizontally the sheets to be bound, and having above the support a pressure applying device which is operable to deform the deformable channel and includes an actuating lever by means of which the pressure applying device is movable from an inoperative position into an operative position; to be able to use the apparatus universally and deform narrow and wide channels alike with optimum results, the apparatus is configured such that the pressure applying device is carried by a pivotal supporting structure and the pressure applying device is mounted for rotation on the supporting structure, wherein both the pressure applying device and the supporting structure are operable by means of the actuating lever.
