paper stack 54 as shown in fig6 the pressure plate 46 with the pressure bar 48 slides down in the slots 40 to rest on the paper stack 54 pressure wedges 52 are inserted into the slots 40 engaging against the compression taper 50 of the pressure bar 48 and the top of the slots 40 forcing the pressure plate 46 tight to compress the paper stack 54 fig7 shows the paper stack 54 compressed after placing the pressure wedges 52 above the pressure bar 48 in the slots 40 and pressing the paper stack 54 horizontally together wherein the pressure wedges 52 force the pressure bar 48 and pressure plate 46 against the paper stack 54 the pressure wedges 52 can be tapped into the slots 40 with the palm of the hands in fig8 is shown the device 20 with the compressed paper stack 54 tilted to rest on the face edge of the base leg front edges 30 thereby positioning horizontally the compressed paper stack 54 edges to be coated with adhesive this is the best position for applying adhesive compound to the compressed paper stack 54 edges liquid adhesive will not run or drip the brush 56 illustrates applying adhesive compound after the adhesive compound has cured the loaded device 20 is returned to the loading position and the pressure wedges 52 are released this can be.
