ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for attaching an object or insert onto a moving signature on a signature collating machine. The invention comprises a portable insert handling device for readily adapting a typical signature feeder station of a conventional saddle gatherer into an insert feeder station. An adhesive applicator is provided for applying a bead of adhesive to a signature prior to entering the insert feeder station of the invention. The insert handling device is lightweight and easily mounted on the framework of any one of the signature feeder stations and cooperates with the existing feeding mechanism to properly orient a discharged insert relative to a signature moving therebelow. The insert is disposed in an overlying relationship to the adhesive bead. A pressure roller downstream of the feeder station urges the insert against the adhesive bead attaching it to the signature.
