    Abstract: A sheet post-processor includes a processing tray, a sheet discharge port, a discharge roller pair, a pair of cursor members, a pair of support members, and an interlocking mechanism. The interlocking mechanism includes a pair of coupling members arranged in the processing tray so as to be reciprocatable in a sheet width direction. The pair of coupling members are coupled to or decoupled from the pair of cursor members in accordance with movement of the pair of cursor members. While being coupled to the pair of cursor members, the pair of coupling members contact the pair of support members so as to displace the pair of support members to a protruding position, and while being decoupled from the pair of cursor members, the pair of coupling members separate from the pair of support members so as to displace the pair of support members to a retracted position.

    Abstract: A staple unit is secured to a second movable body that is provided on a first movable body so as to be swayed. The first movable body is moved linearly in a width direction of a bundle of sheets. The second movable body includes a first engagement member and a second engagement member, and the movement of the first engagement member and the second engagement member in accordance with the linear movement of the first movable body is guided by a parallel groove, a first sway groove, and a second sway groove of a posture control unit. The first engagement member is in constant contact with the first sway groove while the first engagement member moves in the first sway groove, and the second engagement member is in constant contact with the second sway groove while the second engagement member moves in the second sway groove.
