Abstract:
There is provided a binding member. The binding member includes an upper toothed part having projections and recesses for forming irregularities in a bundle of recording materials; and a lower toothed part having projections and recesses for forming irregularities in the bundle of recording materials and forming a pair with the upper toothed part. In at least one of the upper toothed part and the lower toothed part, in some of parts of inclined surfaces of the toothed part which form the recesses, second curved surfaces having the centers of curvature on the opposite sides of the inclined surfaces to the centers of curvature of first curved surfaces which form the recesses are formed.

Claim (Index 4):
A binding device comprising:\n a holding unit configured to hold a bundle of recording materials; and a binding member configured to have an upper toothed part and a lower toothed part forming a pair and perform a binding process of forming irregularities in the bundle of recording materials held by the holding unit, wherein in the binding member, in at least one of the upper toothed part and the lower toothed part, in the recesses of the toothed part, in some of parts of inclined surfaces of the toothed part which form the recesses, second curved surfaces having the centers of curvature on the opposite sides of the inclined surfaces to the centers of curvature of first curved surfaces which form the recesses are formed.
