ABSTRACT:
The invention pertains to a binding-in machine (40) for pressing in and joint forming books (1) which comprises a multitude of pressing devices (1) and assigned joint forming devices (42), as well as devices for feeding the books (1) and aligning the cased book blocks (2) relative to the cases (3) and for post-forming the rounded book blocks, wherein a forming rail (43.5) is provided that acts upon the fore edge cut (1b) of the book block, and wherein the book is supported on the spine (1a) and/or in the case joints (1c). The books are laterally taken hold of by means of a book gripper (30.1or30.2) that moves back and forward and transfers the vertically positioned books from an upstream transfer position (20.11or20.12) between the opened pressing plates (41.1) of a pressing device (41), wherein the books are deposited on an alignment table (43.1) with their spine (1a) in order to subsequently align and post-form the books (1) within the pressing device (41). A pre-formed book is gently transferred into the pressing device such that its form is preserved.
