BOOKBINDING STRIPS AND METHOD OF BINDING BOOKS

A first plastic strip has longitudinally spaced studs each of which can be bent over at a 93.degree. angle. A second strip has holes through which the studs f it and grooves which receive and secure the bent over studs. Paper punched to receive the studs is clamped between the two strips. The studs are then bent over into grooves in the second strip and held in bent position. The grooves have overhanging lips which detachably retain the studs in place. The paper is thus securely bound. To prevent cracking the studs, the abruptness of the 90.degree. bend may be relieved by forming an annular depression around the base of each stud.

PRINTING SYSTEM

A series of conveyance paths to convey a recording medium is formed across a printer and a post-processing device in a printing system. The printing system includes: a detection unit that detects that the post-processing device has entered a predetermined state; and a paper feeding control unit that limits the number of recording media fed to the conveyance path, when it is not detected that the post-processing device has entered the predetermined state, based on the number of recording media conveyable to the post-processing device after the post-processing device enters the predetermined state. 1. A printing system in which a series of conveyance paths to convey a recording medium is formed across a printer and a post-processing device , the printing system comprising:a detection unit that detects that the post-processing device has entered a predetermined state; anda paper feeding control unit that limits the number of recording media fed to the conveyance path, when it is not detected that the post-processing device has entered the predetermined state, based on the number of recording media conveyable to the post-processing device after the post-processing device enters the predetermined state.2. The printing system according to claim 1 , whereinthe post-processing device comprises a sheaf processing unit that performs processing where the recording media printed by the printer are bound with a binding member for every designated number of recording media and a sheaf of recording media is thus generated and ejected,the detection unit detects, as the predetermined state, that a remaining number of the binding members has become N (where N is a predetermined number) at a timing when the sheaf is ejected, andthe paper feeding control unit limits the number of recording media fed to the conveyance path, when it is not detected that the remaining number of the binding members has become N, such that the number of recording media in the conveyance path is equal to or ...

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FORMING AND IMPLEMENTING BOOK BINDING GEOMETRIES AS A FUNCTION OF STACK THICKNESS

A system and method are provided for forming and implementing book binding geometries as a function of image receiving medium stack thicknesses for automated book binding in image forming devices. The disclosed schemes optimize book binding employing a plurality of strip-like binding elements to form loops in a process that employs heat and pressure to reduce residual stresses in the strips as they are formed into loops. The disclosed schemes mechanically modify a process of bending individual book-binding elements in a manner that more effectively employs less expensive material elements to provide consistent and durable “right-sized” book binding of finished documents. A combination of heat and pressure are introduced with a molded structure that results in controlling a radius of formation to be consistently followed by the “folded” binding elements in order to relieve the stress and preserve the integrity of those binding elements in the finished product. 1. A method for binding a stack of media substrates , comprising:inserting a plurality of binding element strips, one each in a plurality of binding holes in media substrates for binding a stack of the media substrates;applying heat to bending portions of the plurality of binding element strips to facilitate bending of the binding element strips at the bending portions;bending the bending portions of the plurality on binding element strips while applying the heat to the bending portions;squeezing free ends of the bent binding element strips together; andsecuring the free ends of the bent binding element strips to each other to form the bent binding element strips into finished binding loops to bind the stack of media substrates.2. The method of claim 1 , the plurality of binding element strips being cut from a supply of the binding element strip material.3. The method of claim 2 , the binding element strip material having a thickness in a range of 0.15 mm to 0.40 mm.4. The method of claim 1 , the heat being ...

Printing control apparatus, binding control apparatus, method for controlling printing control apparatus, and program therefor

A printing control apparatus configured to control a binding unit configured to perform a binding processing for binding sheets without using a staple includes a control unit that controls the biding unit to divide sheets subjected to printing into sheet groups in units of a number of sheets bindable by the binding unit, and to apply the binding processing to each of sheet groups or controls another binding unit to bind the sheets subjected to printing using a staple.

Expandable Package Filler or Ornament

An expandable package filler or ornament includes a stack of sheets, such as tissue paper, foil, etc. The stack is bound together, such as by a fastener. A generally spiral cut extends from a peripheral edge of the stack toward the center of the each sheet. The cut forms each sheet into a generally spiral strip ending in a peninsula portion. Grasping the peninsula portion, lifting and shaking the stack causes the strips to fall and entangle with each other. The resulting structure is decorative and may be used to stuff a gift box, bag or basket.
