APPARATUS FOR BINDING PAPER SHEETS

摘要

An apparatus for binding paper sheets stacked within a hopper into bundles each consisting of a predetermined number of paper sheets is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a separating drum receiving the paper sheets from the hopper and feeding them out one by one, a counter counting the number of paper sheets fed from the separating drum, and a stacker capable of moving between a sheet receiving and a sheet discharging position. When the stacker in the sheet receiving position receives the predetermined number of paper sheets, it is moved to the sheet discharging position and the paper sheets therein are discharged onto support blocks of a binding unit by a transfer device. The binding unit binds the predetermined number of the paper sheets into a bundle with a tape, and a stamping device stamps predetermined particulars on the tape wound around the paper sheets.
