RECORDING MATERIAL PROCESSING APPARATUS AND RECORDING MATERIAL PROCESSING SYSTEM

摘要

A recording material processing apparatus includes: a stacker stacking recording materials to form a bundle; a pressing member including blade sections arranged at intervals to press portions of the bundle, where folds are to be formed, to move the portions in a recording material transport direction; a pair of first fold-forming rolls, each of which includes plural rolls arranged at intervals to enter between the blade sections when the blade sections press the portions, the pair of first fold-forming rolls forming the folds at intervals by nipping the portions pressed by the blade sections; and a pair of second fold-forming rolls, each of which includes plural rolls arranged at intervals to correspond to the blade sections, the pair of second fold-forming rolls further forming the folds on the bundle by nipping portions of the bundle, which exist between the folds formed by the pair of first fold-forming rolls.

主权项

1. A recording material processing apparatus comprising:
a stacker that stacks recording materials that are sequentially transported to form a bundle of recording materials; a pressing member that includes blade sections arranged at intervals in a width direction of the bundle of recording materials, the blade sections pressing portions of the bundle of recording materials, where folds are to be formed, stacked on the stacker, to thereby move the portions of the bundle of recording materials, where the folds are to be formed, in a recording material transport direction; a pair of first fold-forming rolls, each of which includes a plurality of rolls arranged at intervals so as to enter between the blade sections when the blade sections press the portions of the bundle of recording materials where folds are to be formed, the pair of first fold-forming rolls forming the folds at intervals by nipping the portions of the bundle of recording materials, where folds are to be formed, having been pressed by the blade sections; and a pair of second fold-forming rolls provided at a downstream side of the pair of first fold-forming rolls in the recording material transport direction, each of which includes a plurality of rolls arranged at intervals so as to correspond to positions where the blade sections of the pressing member are arranged, the pair of second fold-forming rolls further forming the folds on the bundle of recording materials by nipping portions of the bundle of recording materials, which exist between the folds formed by the pair of first fold-forming rolls.
