Abstract:
In accordance with an embodiment, a sheet processing apparatus comprises an axis of rotation; a standby section configured to buffer a sheet; a processing section configured to execute a post processing on sheets moved from the standby section; a first paddle configured to be mounted in the axis of rotation and be rotated around the axis of rotation to contact with the sheet supplied from the standby section to draw the sheet into a stopper; and a second paddle configured to be mounted in the axis of rotation at a predetermined angle with respect to the first paddle and draw the sheet into the stopper after the first paddle is separated from the sheet after a drawing-in operation of the sheet by the first paddle.

Claim (Index 1):
An image forming apparatus, comprising:\n a sheet feed section configured to supply sheets one by one; an image printer section configured to form an image on the sheets fed from the sheet feed section; a sheet conveyance section configured to convey the sheets from the printer section; a standby section configured to buffer the sheet; a processing section configured to receive sheets supplied from the standby section and execute a post processing on the sheets; a rotational shaft configured to rotate around an axis of rotation; a first paddle mounted on the rotational shaft and configured to contact with a top of the supplied sheets on the processing section and move the sheets to a stopper and separate from the sheets by rotating with the rotational shaft for aligning the sheets; and a second paddle mounted on the rotational shaft at a predetermined angle with respect to the first paddle and configured to contact with the top of the sheets and move the sheets to the stopper by rotating with the rotational shaft for aligning the sheets after the first paddle is separated from the sheet, the second paddle configured to contact with and separate from the sheets while the first paddle makes one rotation around the axis of rotation.
