ABSTRACT:
A saddle binding system is provided with a reject device which removes misformed books from the gathering chain and transports them to a tray for recycling. The reject device includes an arm pivotally mounted adjacent the chain on a frame. The arm is normally located in a rest position out of engagement with passing books. An actuator is connected to the arm and is operable to pivot the arm to a raised, book-engaging position. In the raised position the arm elevates the leading edge portion of a misformed book off of the gathering chain, thereby rotating the book. This rotation advances the trailing edge of the book out of engagement with the pusher pin of the gathering chain. A tape-and-roller take-away mechanism is positioned above the chain to engage an elevated edge portion of a book. The take-away mechanism is angled such that it moves the book longitudinally and vertically of the gathering chain, as well as laterally. The book is discharged to a reject tray.
