Abstract:
[Problem] To bind a book using a comb-shaped ring appropriate for the number of pages to be bound or the binding thickness of the pages to be bound. [Solution] A bookbinding device (10) which binds a book by inserting ring parts (200a) of a comb-shaped ring (200) into binding holes (100a) in a sheaf of paper to bind the sheaf of paper, said bookbinding device (10) comprising a comb-shaped ring supply part (60) for supplying a comb-shaped rings (200) to a binding unit (50), and a bound book ejection unit (70) for transporting a sheaf of paper bound by the binding unit (50) to a storage stacker (80). A comb-shaped ring (200) is configured such that the ring parts (200a) are integrally formed at prescribed intervals along the axial direction, the ring parts (200a) can be opened and closed by a notch formed in the base part thereof, and the ring parts (200a) are opened and inserted into binding holes in a sheaf of paper to thereby bundle the sheaf of paper. The comb-shaped ring supply part (60) stores a plurality of comb-shaped rings (200) that are appropriate for different numbers of pages to be bound of different binding thicknesses of the pages to be bound in a state in which the ring parts (200a) are closed, and supplies a comb-shaped ring (200) to the binding unit (50) according to the number of pages to be bound or the binding thickness of the pages to be bound.
