A binding apparatus comprising:
- a set of binding parts configured to press and bind a bundle of recording materials from one side and a remaining side in a thickness direction;
- a first support part configured to support the bundle of recording materials from the one side by performing rotation toward the bundle of recording materials around a predetermined fulcrum;
- and
- a second support part configured to support the bundle of recording materials from the remaining side so as to face the first support part when binding is performed by the set of binding parts.
A binding apparatus comprising:
- a set of pressing parts configured to press and bind a bundle of recording materials from one side and a remaining side in a thickness direction;
- and
- a cleaning part configured to slide relative to the pressing part and clean at least one pressing part among the set of pressing parts when the pressing part moves along a predetermined binding path.
A binding apparatus comprising:
- a set of pressing parts configured to be movable from a retreat position to a binding position and to press and bind a bundle of recording materials at the binding position;
- and
- a cleaning part provided to clean at least one pressing part among the set of pressing parts and configured to move, together with the pressing part, toward the binding position as the pressing part moves toward the binding position and to move, together with the pressing part, toward the retreat position as the pressing part moves toward the retreat position.
