Abstract
A post-processing apparatus includes a storing unit in which plural recording media are stored for performing post-processing and a transport member that transports a recording medium to the storing unit as a result of rotating while being in contact with a surface of the recording medium. The transport member includes a blade that comes into contact with a recording medium and a reinforcing portion that reinforces a strength of a portion of the blade that does not come into contact with the recording medium.

A post-processing apparatus comprising:
- a storing unit configured to store a plurality of recording media for perforating post-processing;
- and
- a transport member configured to transport a recording medium to the storing unit as a result of rotating while being in contact with a surface of the recording medium,
- wherein the transport member includes:
- a blade configured to come into contact with the recording medium;
- and
- a reinforcing portion configured to reinforce a strength of a portion of the blade,
- wherein the reinforcing portion does not come into contact with the recording medium,
- wherein the post-processing apparatus further comprises:
- a driving source configured to drive the transport member so that the transport member rotates;
- and
- a stop-position setting unit configured to set a stop position of the transport member to a predetermined position when a driving force of the driving source is not applied to the transport member,
- wherein the transport member has a structure in which, when the transport member stops at the stop position set by the stop-position setting unit, the blade does not come into contact with a recording medium passing under the transport member and allows the recording medium to pass under the transport member without transporting the recording medium toward the storing unit, and
- wherein the blade is formed of an elastic member, and the reinforcing portion is formed of a resin member.
