Abstract
A sheet processing apparatus includes: a stapling unit that staples a sheet member; a moving unit that linearly moves the stapling unit; a rotating unit that rotates the stapling unit by abutment of an abutting member against an abutted member when the stapling unit is moved; a holding unit that holds the stapling unit rotated; and a restricting member that restricts rotation of the stapling unit by abutting against the abutting member.
Claims11
A sheet processing apparatus comprising:
- a stapling unit that staples a sheet member;
- a moving unit that linearly moves the stapling unit;
- a rotating unit that rotates the stapling unit by abutment of an abutting member against an abutted member when the stapling unit is moved;
- a holding unit that holds the stapling unit rotated;
- and
- a plurality of restricting members, disposed in parallel with a moving direction of the moving unit, restrict rotation of the stapling unit by abutting against the abutting member.

A sheet processing apparatus comprising:
- a stapling unit that staples a sheet member;
- a moving unit on which the stapling unit is mounted via a rotatable first rotating member;
- a driving unit that linearly moves the moving unit;
- a rotatable second rotating member that is disposed in the moving unit, changes an orientation of the stapling unit in cooperation with the first rotating member, and includes an abutting member;
- a holding unit that holds the orientation of the stapling unit at a plurality of positions;
- an abutted member that changes the orientation of the stapling unit held by the holding unit via the second rotating member;
- and
- a plurality of restricting members disposed in parallel with a moving direction of the moving unit, the plurality of restricting members restricting the orientation of the stapling unit held by the holding unit.
