A sheet processing apparatus includes a control unit and an attaching unit. The control unit determines a position along a surface of a sheet adjacent to an edge portion thereof, where a tag including a binding section for binding the sheet is to be attached. The attaching unit has a carrier for the tag and is moved to attach the tag to the position on the surface of the sheet determined by the control unit.

A gluing device (10) for gluing an end edge (11) of a log (11) comprising, in succession, an introducing group (20) for introducing logs (11) into the gluing device (10), a handling group (30) for handling the log (11) associated with detection means for detecting the end edge (11) and comprising a pair of rollers (31, 32) selectively for advancing and for holding in rotation the log (11), a glue dispensing group (40) and a transferring group (50) for transferring the log (11) comprising a transferring plane (51) arranged downstream of the lower handling roller (32), between the lower handling roller (32) and the transferring plane (51) has a space (35) for the passage of the end edge (11), the glue dispensing group (40) being arranged below the transferring plane (51) and comprising a transversal row of glue dispensing nozzles (41) are selectively disinsertable and directed towards the lower handling roller (32), and it comprises a transversal alignment device (23) for aligning the log (11) arranged upstream of the glue dispensing group (40). A related method of gluing the end edge is also part of the invention.

A press-bonded sheet in which two sheet portions are press-bonded in a peelable state is manufactured by a method including steps of: forming an adhesive layer containing powder adhesive on a sheet; heating the adhesive layer to fix it to the sheet; opposing an area on the sheet where the adhesive layer is fixed and an area on the same sheet or on a different sheet where another adhesive layer is formed and fixed; and press-bonding the opposed areas. The fracture strain of a main constituent material of the powder adhesive is 10% or more and less than 1000%.

A protective film attaching apparatus is for attaching a protective film to a display area of a portable electronic apparatus. A protective film attaching apparatus includes a case configured to receive a rear surface of a portable electronic apparatus, a cover configured to receive a front surface of the portable electronic apparatus and formed at a side of the case configured to rotate for opening or closing the case, and a film member provided in the cover configured to be attached on a front display area of the portable electronic apparatus.

A collating apparatus (10), in particular for printed products such as brochures, flyers or the like, comprising a collecting section (11) having at least two collecting zones (11a,b) arranged in parallel and working independently of each other, onto which respectively a plurality of products are fed successively and are united lying one on top of the other into a collected product, and at least one further processing section (13, 15) positioned behind the collecting section (11) having at least one further processing apparatus (13a,b; 15a,b). High flexibility during operation is achieved by the arrangement between the collecting section (11) and the at least one further processing section (13, 15) of a distribution apparatus (12), which feeds the collected products arriving from the collecting zones (11a,b) selectively to the at least one further processing apparatus (13a,b, 15a,b).
