Abstract (en)
A sewing station (130) for a bookbinding machine (100) is proposed. The sewing station includes a plurality of sewing elements (210,215) for sewing stacks of signatures (505) by means of corresponding continuous threads (510a-510c), and driving means (205,230,235) for driving the sewing elements with a reciprocating motion towards a signature (105a,105b) to be sewn; the sewing station of the invention further includes biasing means (435,315) for biasing at least part of the sewing elements individually to an operative position or to a non-operative position, each sewing element in the operative position acting on the signature and each sewing element in the non-operative position not reaching the signature when the sewing element is moved towards the signature. <IMAGE>
