Abstract:
A five-piece expanding pocket having front inner and outer panels secured to each other by cohesive glue, rear inner and outer panels secured thereof by cohesive glue, and a gusset having outer edge portions with cohesive glue and opposite sides thereof bonded between edge portions of the front and rear inner and outer panels which are bonded to each other. A fixture for assembling a five-piece expanding pocket including locating plates for retaining front and rear inner panels in a predetermined position, a positioning member for locating a gusset relative to the front and rear inner panels on the locating plates and permitting the gusset to be secured to cohesive glue on the front and rear inner panels, and the locating plates also permitting the locating of the front and rear outer panels relative to the front and rear inner panels, respectively. A method of assembling a five-piece pocket by positioning front and rear inner panels with cohesive glue on the outer surfaces thereof, bonding a gusset to the outer surfaces of the front and rear inner panels by cohesive glue on outer edge portions of the gusset, and bonding front and rear outer panels to the front and rear inner panels by cohesive glue on inner surfaces of the front and rear outer panels with the edge portions of the gusset sandwiched between the inner and outer front panels and between the inner and outer rear panels.
