Abstract
A stapler for performing binding processing of binding a sheet with a staple, the stapler includes: a driver unit configured to drive the staple to the sheet; a bending unit configured to bend a staple leg of the staple that is driven by the driver unit and penetrates the sheet; a single motor configured to operate the driver unit and the bending unit; a coupling portion coupling the driver unit and the bending unit on one side in a direction orthogonal to a sheet passing direction of the sheet passing between the driver unit and the bending unit and along the sheet surface in the case of performing the binding processing; and a transmission unit configured to transmit a driving force of the motor to at least one of the driver unit or the bending unit via the coupling portion.

A stapler for performing binding processing of binding a sheet with a staple, the stapler comprising:
- a driver unit provided in a position orthogonal to a sheet surface of the sheet in a case of performing the binding processing, the driver unit being configured to drive the staple to the sheet;
- a bending unit provided in a position facing the driver unit through the sheet in the case of performing the binding processing, the bending unit being configured to bend a staple leg of the staple that is driven by the driver unit and penetrates the sheet;
- a single motor configured to operate the driver unit and the bending unit;
- a coupling portion coupling the driver unit and the bending unit on one side in a direction orthogonal to a sheet passing direction of the sheet passing between the driver unit and the bending unit and along the sheet surface in the case of performing the binding processing;
- and
- a transmission unit configured to transmit a driving force of the motor to at least one of the driver unit or the bending unit via the coupling portion,
- wherein the transmission unit is configured to transmit the driving force of the motor to the bending unit via the coupling portion.

- and
- a transmission unit configured to transmit a driving force of the motor to at least one of the driver unit or the bending unit via the coupling portion,
- wherein the motor is provided in a freely selected position between the driver unit and the coupling portion, between the coupling portion and the bending unit to an intermediate portion of the coupling portion, or on another side in a direction along the sheet surface with the driver unit interposed in between.
A stapler for performing binding processing of binding a sheet with a staple, the stapler comprising:
- a driver unit provided in a position orthogonal to a sheet surface of the sheet in a case of performing the binding processing, the driver unit being configured to drive the staple to the sheet;
- a bending unit provided in a position facing the driver unit through the sheet in the case of performing the binding processing, the bending unit being configured to bend a staple leg of the staple that is driven by the driver unit and penetrates the sheet;
- a single motor configured to operate the driver unit and the bending unit;
- a coupling portion coupling the driver unit and the bending unit on one side in a direction orthogonal to a sheet passing direction of the sheet passing between the driver unit and the bending unit and along the sheet surface in the case of performing the binding processing;
- and
- a transmission unit configured to transmit a driving force of the motor to at least one of the driver unit or the bending unit via the coupling portion,
- wherein the bending unit includes a pair of clinchers that abut against the staple leg during the binding processing, each of the pair of clinchers having a tip end that is pivotable in a bending direction of the staple leg about a shaft as a fulcrum, and
- wherein the transmission unit is configured to pivot the clinchers.
