    Abstract: A spring mounting structure includes a first structural member and a second structural member. The first structural member includes: a first abutting surface to abut on one end of a compression spring; and a temporary holding portion to temporarily hold the compression spring in an uncompressed state. The second structural member includes: a second abutting surface to abut on another end of the compression spring; and a tapered surface to, when the second structural member is assembled in a predetermined assembling direction intersecting a compression direction of the compression spring, guide the other end of the compression spring in the uncompressed state temporarily held by the temporary holding portion to the second abutting surface such that the compression spring is mounted in a compressed state between the first and second abutting surfaces.

    Abstract: A sheet folding apparatus includes: a first sheet conveying unit; a second sheet conveying unit that is disposed downstream of the first sheet conveying unit; a folded part forming unit that forms a folded part on a sheet by nipping a turned-back portion formed on a part of the sheet between the first sheet conveying unit and the second sheet conveying unit; a second conveying path that bifurcates from the first conveying path and in which a sheet with the folded part is conveyed; and a pushing member that is movable between a pushing position at which the pushing member pushes the turned-back portion toward the folded part forming unit and a retracted position. The pushing member also serves as a changing unit that changes a direction of a leading end of the sheet that is conveyed in the first conveying path into a direction toward a second conveying path.
