Bookbinding apparatus

摘要

A bookbinding apparatus inserts ring parts of a comb-shaped ring into binding holes of a sheet bundle and files and binds the sheet bundle, sequentially and includes a binding hole forming section configured to form binding holes in the sheet, a compiling section configured to arrange the sheet in which the binding holes are formed to make the sheet bundle, a comb-shaped ring feeding section configured to feed the comb-shaped ring piece by piece, a binding section configured to receive the fed comb-shaped ring, insert the ring parts of the comb-shaped ring into the binding holes of the sheet bundle, and bind the sheet bundle, and a bound-book discharging section configured to transfer the sheet bundle bound by the binding section to a storage stacker.

1. A bookbinding apparatus which inserts ring parts of a comb-shaped ring into binding holes of a sheet bundle and files and binds the sheet bundle, sequentially, comprising:
a sheet transfer path configured to transfer a sheet, a binding hole forming section configured to form the binding holes in the sheet; a compiling section configured to arrange the sheet in which the binding holes are formed to make the sheet bundle; a comb-shaped ring feeding section configured to feed the comb-shaped ring piece by piece; a binding section configured to receive the fed comb-shaped ring, insert the ring parts of the comb-shaped ring into the binding holes of the sheet bundle and bind the sheet bundle; and a bound-book discharging section configured to transfer the sheet bundle bound by the binding section to a storage stacker, wherein the comb-shaped ring feeding section includes: a cartridge configured to load a plurality of comb-shaped rings in longitudinal and transverse lines; an elevating unit configured to raise the comb-shaped rings stored in the cartridge one transverse line by one transverse line; and an outgoing unit configured to send out the comb-shaped rings of one transverse line of an uppermost stage among the comb-shaped rings stored in the cartridge one by one, and the comb-shaped ring feeding section is configured to send out the comb-shaped rings by means of the outgoing unit based on detection information about the comb-shaped ring receiving position at which the binding section receives the fed comb-shaped ring.
