<p>A paper-binding and -folding apparatus comprises stopper means (22) for stopping at a predetermined position the supply ends of a plurality of sheets of paper (P) that are supplied; an electric stapler (23) for binding together the plurality of sheets of paper, stopped by the stopper means (22), at a center portion (C) in the supply direction in order to produce bound sheets of paper; a paper-folding knife (19) for folding the bound sheets of paper, stapled by the electric stapler (23), at the center portion (C) in the supply direction; and a pair of ejecting rollers (18, 18) for ejecting the bound sheets of paper folded by the paper-folding knife (19) while supporting the bent portion of the bound sheets of paper. The stopper means (22) is arranged at a fixed position so that a generally central portion in the supply direction of the paper (P) is positioned at a place corresponding to the paper folding knife (19). Further, the electric stapler (23) is arranged for forward and backward movements with respect to the folding position of the paper (P).</p> |
