    摘要: The present apparatus includes a placement tray to place sheets to undergo binding processing, and a press bind unit shifting along an end edge of sheets on the placement tray. The press bind unit includes a receiving tooth, and pressing teeth meshing with the receiving tooth to perform press binding on sheets nipped therebetween, and the pressing teeth are provided to shift between a press position for meshing with the receiving tooth, and a retract position spaced apart from the receiving tooth so as to shift the press bind unit along the end edge of sheets with the sheets disposed between the receiving tooth and the pressing teeth. By shifting the pressing teeth to the retract position, it is possible to shift the sheet bind apparatus smoothly along the end edge of a bunch of sheets with the sheets disposed between the receiving tooth and the pressing teeth.

    摘要: Disclosed are stacks of absorbent sheets, such as paper towels, toilet tissue, napkins, facial tissue, and the like. The stacks generally comprise a plurality of absorbent sheets bound by compressing the sheets to form a binding element. The binding element is generally free from adhesives or mechanical fasteners, and acts to bind the sheets to one another and form the 5 stack. The binding element may be disposed along only a portion of the stack or may extend continuously across a first dimension of the stack Binding the stack in this manner generally results in individual sheets arranged in facing arrangement with one another without an adhesive disposed between them and as such the entire sheet may be used once it is dispensed from the stack.

    摘要: A binding apparatus includes: a first pressing part that presses a recording material bundle to bind the recording material bundle; a second pressing part that faces the first pressing part; and a pushout part that is formed as a member different from the second pressing part for pushing out the second pressing part toward the first pressing part. The second pressing part is supported to be movable with respect to the pushout part and, when pushed out by the pushout part, presses the recording material bundle.

    摘要: The present apparatus is provided with a placement tray (processing tray) to place sheets to undergo binding processing, and a bind unit that is able to shift along an end edge of sheets on the placement tray and that binds a plurality of sheets as a single bunch, where in the bind unit, a needle bind unit for performing binding processing on a bunch of sheets with a needle and a needleless bind unit for performing binding processing without a needle are provided together in a shift direction of the bind unit, and a length of the needleless bind unit is configured to be shorter than a length of the needle bind unit in the shift direction of the bind unit. By this means, provided is the apparatus capable of miniaturizing the entire apparatus, with the needle bind unit and needleless bind unit provided together.

    摘要: A staple-less binding unit including a pair of upper and lower teeth binds a sheet bundle which is discharged to an intermediate processing tray by a sheet discharge portion and whose one edge abuts against a rear edge stopper. A control portion switches a binding mode of the staple-less binding unit that implements the binding process on the sheet bundle in a first binding mode of binding the sheet bundle without any staple such that the pair of upper and lower teeth bite across an edge of the sheet bundle and in a second binding mode of binding the sheet bundle without any staple such that the pair of upper and lower teeth do not bite across any edge of the sheet bundle.

    摘要: A sheet processing apparatus includes: a pair of binding members that respectively have a pair of crimping teeth facing each other, which move between binding positions where a sheet bundle is bound and retreat positions retreated from the binding positions; and a pair of regulating members that are arranged close to the binding members and respectively have a pair of regulating pieces which face each other and move between regulating positions where displacement of the sheet bundle bound by the pair of crimping teeth is regulated and retreat positions retreated from the regulating positions, wherein a separation distance between the pair of regulating pieces at the retreat positions of the regulating pieces is longer than a separation distance between the pair of crimping teeth at the retreat positions of the crimping teeth.
