| Claim: | 1. A combination of a spring for binding books and a device for packing said spring into a box for shipping, said device having an input end and an output end, the combination comprising: a. a continuous, uncompressed, spirally-wound spring 1 having a cross-sectional circumference, a first end and a second end and an upper side and a lower side when positioned in a generally horizontal position; b. one fixedly positioned driving roller at the output end that continuously drives said spring from said input end through said output end in a generally horizontal position; c. a fixed supply frame 2 at the input end on which said lower side of said spring 1 rests directly on and said spring is moved relative to said fixed supply frame 2 from said input end through said output end by said driving roller; d. a cover member supply part 3 comprises: i. a supply roll 32 ; ii. a cover member 31 having a certain width wider than said circumference of said spring and made of a synthetic resin material is wound on said supply roll; and iii. a direction change roll 33 for allowing said cover member 31 supplied from said supply roll 32 to be supplied on said upper side of said spring 1 , when said lower side of said spring is resting directly on said fixed supply frame 2 ; e. a forming guide 4 fixedly positioned relative to said fixed supply frame and surrounds said fixed supply frame and said spring 1 thereon having a tapered angle conical shape with opposite ends, said end facing the input end receives said spring with said cover member on the upper side of said spring 1 , said opposite end facing the output end causes said cover member 31 to overlap itself on said lower side of said spring; and f. a pair of pressing rollers 5 adjacent the opposite end of said forming guide for pressing and bonding the overlapped portion of said cover member 31 at said lower side of said spring 1 . |
| Claim: | 2. The device of claim 1 , wherein said forming guide 4 is formed from a plate sheet rolled into the tapered angle conical shape, said forming guide 4 having a lower side with a bent part 41 for receiving said overlapped portion of the cover member thereon. |
