CAP MAKING MACHINE Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC B42C7/00 B31F1/00 

FIELD: equipment for the printing industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to devices for making binding covers for books and other printing products. The invention is implemented as follows. In the bending unit, the first sensor detects the presence of the workpiece and transmits a signal to start the pressure rollers. When a workpiece falls between the emitter and receiver of the second sensor, the light beam is interrupted. The receiver, having not received a light beam, transmits a signal to the control unit, which gives the command to start the pressure rollers. The workpiece falls between the two pressure rollers of the first pair (closest to the place of receipt of the workpiece) and moves further, pushed by these pressure rollers. With further advancement of the blank by the pressure rollers of the first pair, the bending roller lays down the edge of the covering material with its bristles. The bending shaft rotates with a free gap towards the working surface and stops.

EFFECT: increasing the reliability of fastening of the cover elements.
