Abstract:
1. A paper jogging apparatus comprising: a loading tray that receives sheets and loads the sheets as a bundle of sheets; an aligning unit aligning side ends of the bundle of sheets loaded on the loading tray, and including a first elastic body fence having a first sheet abutting side and a first elastic body formed on the first sheet abutting side to align one side end of the bundle of sheets, and a first reference fence facing the first elastic body fence to align another side end of the bundle of sheets and having no elastic body; a pressing unit pressing the bundle of sheets from one surface thereof, and having a presser main body extending in a direction from the first elastic body fence toward the first reference fence and a presser member having one end swingably attached to a lower surface of the presser main body adjacent to the first elastic body fence and extending from one end of the presser main body toward another end thereof while passing under the lower surface of the presser main body; a support unit situated under the pressing member to form an interval therebetween and supporting another surface of the bundle of sheets; and a controller that performs pressing with respect to the bundle of sheets by moving the pressing unit in a direction narrowing the interval between the pressing unit and the support unit in a state where the aligning unit abutting-holds the bundle of sheets, wherein when the presser member does not press the bundle of sheets, the presser member is inclined such that the one end of the presser member adjacent to the first elastic body fence is positioned away from a position of pressing the bundle of sheets more than another end of the presser member adjacent to the first reference fence, and when the presser member presses the bundle of sheets, the another end of the presser member gradually moves upwardly to completely abut on an upper surface of the bundle of sheets, thereby pressing the bundle of sheets.
