ABSTRACT:
A device is used for casing inner books in book covers. The device reciprocates in a vertical direction synchronously with an inner book conveyor. A feed roll system is provided for enclosing the inner book in the book cover. A clamping mechanism is provided for receiving and positioning the cover spine. A pair of alignment elements form part of the clamping mechanism and are operatively connected to an actuating device so as to move from first lateral positions relative to the plane of travel of the inner book towards the book cover, thereby centering the spine of the book cover relative to the plane of travel of the inner book and aligning it in a direction normal to the plane of travel of the inner book. Hold-down elements are provided for holding the book cover against a support surface during centering and alignment.
