滑且つ正確に行なわれない。2. Description of the Related Art When a large number of signatures folded by a folding machine are supplied to a signature supply device of a bookbinding machine, the signature supply device mechanically pulls out signatures one by one, Since paper is fed to the transport path, it is necessary to supply a large number of signatures to the signature supply device with the four sides aligned. On the other hand, signatures folded by a folding machine or the like are stored in an appropriate amount or bundled and stored or moved. Therefore, if the signatures stacked in an appropriate amount in this manner are simply supplied to the signature supply device, or the bundle of the bundled signatures is simply released and supplied to the signature supply device, the signatures are not shared with each other. In addition, the four sides of the signature are not aligned, so that extraction and paper feeding by the signature supply device are not performed smoothly and accurately.

５３の保管に場所を取る等の不具合も生じる。For this reason, conventionally, before an operator supplies a signature to a signature supplying device, the signatures attached to each other are peeled off on a work bench or the like, or a proper amount of signatures is removed. Manual operations such as aligning the four sides of the document and separating the signatures one by one, etc., have led to a problem that labor saving and cost reduction of bookbinding work could not be achieved. Therefore, as shown in FIG.
It is conceivable to provide a cassette 53 for storing the signatures 51 and store and move the signatures 51 in the cassette 53. However, when the cassette 53 is used,
For example, as shown in FIG.
1 is placed on the signature 51 with a strong habit.
As shown in FIG. 1 (B), it is difficult to align the four sides because the signatures 51 having a strong habit are placed on one signature 51 facing each other. If the signature 51 is not accommodated in the cassette 53, a problem such as breakage of the waist of the signature 51 in the cassette 53 occurs as shown in FIG. Further, when the cassette 53 is used, a large number of cassettes 53 must be manufactured in accordance with the size of the signature 51, which causes a problem such as taking up space for storing the cassette 53.

とにある。Further, as shown in FIG. 12, in a signature 51 in which an appropriate amount of signatures 51 are stacked in a staggered direction and folded and bound, the end of the signature 51 has a habit. In such a signature 51, an operator needs to manually bend this portion in the opposite direction to correct the habit before supplying the same to the supply device, which is a factor that further reduces the efficiency of bookbinding work. I was The present invention has been devised in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to automatically perform operations such as peeling off signatures attached to each other and aligning the four sides of the signatures, and bookbinding. It is an object of the present invention to provide a signature aligning apparatus capable of saving labor and cost in work. Another object of the present invention is to provide a signature aligning apparatus that can automatically correct a habit even if the signature has a habit.
