Abstract
A binding apparatus includes: a first pressing part that presses a recording material bundle; and a second pressing part that is pushed out toward the first pressing part and presses the recording material bundle. When a recording material or the recording material bundle enters a pressing area where the first pressing part and the second pressing part face each other, at least one of the first pressing part and the second pressing part retreats more downstream than the pressing area in a direction where the recording material or the recording material bundle enters the pressing area.
Claims6
A binding apparatus comprising:
- a first pressing part that presses a recording material bundle;
- and
- a second pressing part that is pushed out toward the first pressing part and presses the recording material bundle, wherein,
- when a recording material or the recording material bundle enters a pressing area where the first pressing part and the second pressing part face each other, at least one of the first pressing part and the second pressing part retreats more downstream than the pressing area in a direction where the recording material or the recording material bundle enters the pressing area, and
- the first pressing part and the second pressing part change a facing relationship between the first pressing part and the second pressing part by moving about a same fulcrum and retreat and protrude due to the fulcrum moving with a motion component in a direction in which the recording material or the recording material bundle enters the pressing area.

An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a transport unit that transports recording materials on which an image is formed;
- a storage unit that stores a recording material bundle formed by bundling the recording materials transported by the transport unit;
- and
- a binding unit that is disposed at the storage unit in a case where the recording material bundle is stored at the storage unit and binds the recording material bundle stored, wherein
- the binding unit comprises:
- a first pressing part that presses the recording material bundle, and
- a second pressing part that is pushed out toward the first pressing part and presses the recording material bundle, and,
- when a recording material or the recording material bundle enters the storage unit, at least one of the first pressing part and the second pressing part retreats more downstream than a pressing area in a direction where the recording material or the recording material bundle enters, and
- the first pressing part and the second pressing part change a facing relationship between the first pressing part and the second pressing part by moving about a same fulcrum and retreat and protrude due to the fulcrum moving with a motion component in a direction in which the recording material or the recording material bundle enters the pressing area.

An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a transport unit that transports recording materials on which an image is formed;
- a storage unit that stores a recording material bundle formed by bundling the recording materials transported by the transport unit;
- and
- a binding unit that binds the recording material bundle stored in the storage unit,
- wherein
- the binding part unit comprises:
- a first pressing part for pressing a recording material bundle, and
- a second pressing part to be pushed out toward the first pressing part so as to press the recording material bundle, and,
- when a recording material or the recording material bundle enters a pressing area where the first pressing part and the second pressing part face each other, at least one of the first pressing part and the second pressing part retreats more downstream than the pressing area in a direction where the recording material or the recording material bundle enters the pressing area,
- the first pressing part and the second pressing part change a facing relationship between the first pressing part and the second pressing part by moving about a same fulcrum and retreat and protrude due to the fulcrum moving with a motion component in a direction in which the recording material or the recording material bundle enters the pressing area.
