Claims7
A method for attaching a pair of crimping members in a sheet binding device that binds a sheet bundle by engagement of the pair of crimping members, comprising:
- attaching at least one of the crimping members to a member to which the at least one crimping members is to be attached while the pair of crimping members are in engagement with one another.
A sheet binding device that binds a sheet bundle by engagement of a pair of crimping members, wherein
- one of the crimping members is attached by inserting a fastener member into a through-hole formed on a member to which the one of the crimping members is to be attached, the through-hole being parallel to a direction of binding the sheet bundle, and
- a gap between the through-hole and the fastener member is larger than a position error of the member to which the one of the crimping members is to be attached with respect to a member to which the other crimping member is to be attached.
