BOOKLET MAKING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240317534 titled 'BOOKLET MAKING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

The abstract of the patent application describes a booklet making apparatus that includes a heat-and-pressure bonding portion with a pressurizing member, a receiving member, a moving portion, and a heating portion. This apparatus is designed to nip, heat, and pressurize a plurality of sheets with an adhesive layer to create booklets. Additionally, the apparatus features an elastic member that maintains a constant deformation amount as the moving portion transitions between positions.

The booklet making apparatus includes a heat-and-pressure bonding portion with a pressurizing member, a receiving member, a moving portion, and a heating portion.
It is capable of nipping, heating, and pressurizing sheets with adhesive layers to create booklets.
The apparatus also features an elastic member that maintains a constant deformation amount during movement of the moving portion.

Original Abstract Submitted

a booklet making apparatus includes a heat-and-pressure bonding portion including a pressurizing member, a receiving member, a moving portion configured to move the pressurizing member, and a heating portion configured to heat the pressurizing member. the booklet making apparatus is configured to nip, heat, and pressurize, between the pressurizing member and the receiving member, a plurality of sheets on at least one of which an adhesive layer is formed, and thus make a booklet. the booklet making apparatus further includes an elastic member. a deformation amount of the elastic member is constant while the moving portion moves from a first position to a second position. in a case where the moving portion moves from the second position to a third position, the deformation amount of the elastic member increases in accordance with a movement amount the moving portion.
