  • Roller gluing units are known, see [ Industrial bookbinding; Dieter Liebau, Inés Heinze; 2nd edition 2001; Publisher Profession + School, Itzehoe; Page 284f ], with two successively arranged, immersed in an adhesive tank applicator rollers, which roll through the block conveying direction concurrent rotation on the book block back while transferring the adhesive to the back.
  • the applied amount of adhesive or the adhesive layer thickness is determined by an adjustable at a distance from the applicator roll doctor.
  • An order length can be defined by appropriately closing and opening this delivery gap, so that in particular a defined head and / or foot-side end portion of the block back can be kept free of adhesive.
  • the adhesive stored in the open adhesive tank is subject to relatively rapid decomposition and / or curing due to its relatively large atmosphere-contacting surface, the air entry of the rotating applicator rollers, and the constant circulation of adhesive on both sides of the block spine on the applicator rollers ,
  • the resulting contamination of the adhesive leads to a deterioration of the adhesive properties and produces voids in the adhesive layer on the applicator roll when adhesive crumbs settle in front of the squeegee.
  • PUR dispersion and polyurethane
  • an applicator for PUR adhesive which has a staff on the circumference of the applicator, upwardly open doctor box.
  • a pivotally mounted rear wall which has a squeegee arranged at the lower outlet of the squeegee and can be pivoted by an actuating device into a closed position and an adjustable open position of the squeegee.
  • an actuating device In the doctor box, only a relatively small amount of glue is stored.
  • Controlled by a level control supplied PUR adhesive flows through the inclined rear wall to the outlet and mixes with adhesive which passes back through the applicator roll back into the basin or stripped by the spinner roll to level the job back from the block back, so again the risk the decomposition and / or curing of the adhesive consists.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a device for applying adhesive to the book block spine of a guided past in a conveyor book block of folded signatures and / or single sheets according to the preamble of claim 1, which allows a reliable and proper application of the adhesive and at the accumulated adhesive waste is minimized.
  • At least one side wall of the doctor box is adjustable according to the block thickness of the book block to be glued in the axial direction of the applicator roll.
  • the adhesive layer removed from the applicator roll from the doctor box is only applied to the applicator roll as wide as required by the thickness of the block back to be glued. Additional adhesive is not discharged and circulated and therefore does not come into unnecessary contact with the atmosphere.
  • the adhesive volume stored in the doctor box is also adapted to the respective delivery volume flow, which is largely determined by the block thickness.
  • the device according to the invention is preferably suitable for the processing of moisture-sensitive polyurethane adhesives or in a doctor blade heated dispersion.
