APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING SHEET BUNCHES AND SYSTEM FOR FORMING IMAGES PROVIDED WITH THE APPARATUS

摘要

In order to enable a press-bound sheet bunch to be easily peeled away from press teeth, the present invention is to provide a sheet bunch processing apparatus with a needleless binding apparatus which includes a pair of press tooth members where a plurality of press teeth extending in a ridge-line direction is formed parallel, presses a part of a sheet bunch between the pair of press tooth members, and thereby performs press binding processing, and with a peeling mechanism which applies a force in a direction substantially parallel with the ridge-line direction of the press teeth to the sheet bunch, and thereby peels the sheet bunch subjected to the press binding processing away from the press teeth of the press tooth members.

主权项

1. A sheet bunch processing apparatus for performing post-processing on a sheet bunch obtained by collecting a plurality of sheets supplied onto a processing tray to carry out in a carrying-out direction, comprising:
a needleless binding apparatus, including a pair of press tooth members where a plurality of press teeth extending in a ridge-line direction is formed parallel, adapted to press a part of the sheet bunch between the pair of press tooth members, and thereby perform press binding processing; and a peeling mechanism adapted to apply a force in a direction substantially parallel with the ridge-line direction of the press teeth to the sheet bunch, and thereby peel the sheet bunch subjected to the press binding processing away from the press teeth of the press tooth members.
