Abstract (en)

A wire stitcher includes a cutter 125 for cutting a length of wire W from a supply thereof and a stitcher head 101, having a former 105 and driver 106, for forming and driving the length of cut wire for binding a set SS of sheets. The length of cut wire which is presented to the head 101 by wire advancing and cutting mechanism 103 is automatically determined in a dependence upon the thickness of the set SS. The mechanism 103 includes a movable gripper block 120 which advances the wire and the cutter 125 is carried on a movable cutter block 121. Movement of the blocks 120 and 121 is limited such as by an inhibitor 124 which is positioned in dependence upon set thickness.
