BOOKLET MAKING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18609566 titled 'BOOKLET MAKING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
The booklet making apparatus described in the patent application includes various components such as a pressurizing member, a receiving member, a moving portion, a heating portion, and a sheet separation member.
- The pressurizing member opposes the first surface of a sheet bundle.
- The receiving member opposes the second surface of the sheet bundle and nips the sheet bundle together with the pressurizing member.
- The moving portion moves the pressurizing member between a retracted position and a pressurizing position.
- The heating portion is responsible for heating the pressurizing member.
- The sheet separation member comes into contact with the first surface of the sheet bundle to separate it from the pressurizing member during the movement process.
Potential Applications: - Printing industry for booklet production - Publishing companies for creating magazines and brochures - Office settings for in-house document binding
Problems Solved: - Efficiently pressurizing and binding sheet bundles - Streamlining the booklet making process - Ensuring proper separation of sheets after pressurization
Benefits: - Increased productivity in booklet production - Consistent and high-quality binding results - Reduction in manual labor for document binding tasks
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Booklet Making Apparatus Revolutionizes Printing Industry This technology can be used in commercial printing companies, publishing houses, and office supply stores to offer efficient and high-quality booklet making services. The market implications include improved customer satisfaction, cost savings, and competitive advantage.
Questions about Booklet Making Apparatus: 1. How does the pressurizing member work in the booklet making process? The pressurizing member opposes the first surface of a sheet bundle to ensure proper binding during the booklet making process.
2. What is the role of the sheet separation member in the apparatus? The sheet separation member comes into contact with the first surface of the sheet bundle to separate it from the pressurizing member, facilitating the movement process.
Original Abstract Submitted
A booklet making apparatus includes a pressurizing member configured to oppose a first surface of a sheet bundle, a receiving member configured to oppose a second surface of the sheet bundle opposite to the first surface and nip the sheet bundle together with the pressurizing member, a moving portion configured to move the pressurizing member to a retracted position where the pressurizing member is retracted from the sheet bundle and a pressurizing position where the pressurizing member is in contact with the sheet bundle to pressurize the sheet bundle, a heating portion configured to heat the pressurizing member, and a sheet separation member configured to come into contact with the first surface of the sheet bundle and separate the sheet bundle from the pressurizing member in a process of the pressurizing member moving from the pressurizing position to the retracted position.
