Sheet binding device, sheet post-processing device, and image forming apparatus

Abstract

According to one embodiment, a sheet binding device includes a tape support base, a tape holder, and a first displacement mechanism. The tape support base supports a tape. The tape holder is movable in a first direction. The first displacement mechanism displaces the tape holder from a first position that is a position away from the tape to a second position at which the tape holder is capable of coming into contact with the tape when the tape holder moves toward the tape support base and receives the tape.
