ABSTRACT:
A book cover formation machine has feeder stations for the cover cloth and cover boards, a glue-application station for the cover cloth, and an assembly station for mating the cover cloth and cover boards. The machine also has a turn-in station with turn-in elements for folding the head and foot flaps over the cover-board edges in a first plane, and for folding the lateral flaps over the cover-board edges in a vertically displaced second plane. The turn-in station is a separate mechanism juxtapositioned to the assembly station. The functions of assembling the cover cloth and boards, of executing the head and foot flap turn-ins, and of executing the lateral flap turn-ins, are coordinated such that all functions within a cycle are performed on different book covers simultaneously.
