Abstract:
In a cross section shape of the toothed part, in gaps formed between a recesses and a projections when a upper toothed part and a lower toothed part are engaged without a bundle of recording materials, when the distances between the recesses and the projections in a pressing direction of the toothed part at positions where the distances from a center lines of the projections in a direction perpendicular to the pressing direction of the toothed part to the surfaces of the projections in the direction perpendicular to the pressing direction of the toothed part are a distance L 1  are H 1 , and the distances between the recesses and the projections at positions where the distances from the center lines to surfaces of the projections in the direction perpendicular to the pressing direction of the toothed part are H 2 , a combination of L 1  and L 2  satisfies H 1  is smaller than H 2.

Claim (Index 5):
An image processing apparatus comprising:\n an image forming unit that forms images on recording materials; and a binding unit that has an upper toothed part and a lower toothed part forming a pair and perform a binding process of forming irregularities in a bundle of recording materials having images formed by the image forming unit, wherein in the binding unit, in a cross section shape of at least one of the upper toothed part and the lower toothed part, in gaps which are formed between the recesses and the projections when the upper toothed part and the lower toothed part are engaged without the bundle of recording materials, when the distances between the recesses and the projections in a pressing direction of the toothed part at positions where the distances from a center lines of the projections in a direction perpendicular to the pressing direction of the toothed part to surfaces of the projections in the direction perpendicular to the pressing direction of the toothed part are a distance L 1  are H 1 , and the distances between the recesses and the projections at positions where the distances from the center lines to the surfaces of the projections in the direction perpendicular to the pressing direction of the toothed part are H 2 , a combination of L 1  and L 2  satisfying that H 1  is smaller than H 2  exists.
