Abstract:
To facilitate permeation of water when water is applied to the crimping range of a sheet made of a water-permeable paper material. A binding unit applies water to placed sheets and then crimp-binds the sheets. The binding unit includes a pair of pressure teeth (pressure teeth and receiving teeth part) provided on both the front and back sides of the sheets and configured to crimp-binding the sheets, a water reservoir provided on the back surface side of any one of the pressure teeth and configured to store water to be applied to the sheet, and a pressurizing member (piston) that pressurizes the water in the water reservoir to apply water to the sheet crimping range.

Claim (Index 15):
A sheet processing device having a binding unit that applies water to placed sheets and then crimp-binds the sheets, comprising:\n a processing tray on which the sheets are placed; and a binding unit configured to be movable along the end portion of the sheets placed on the processing tray in the sheet width direction, wherein the binding unit includes in the same frame: a pair of first and second pressure teeth that mate with each other with the sheets interposed therebetween; a water reservoir provided on the back side of the first pressure teeth mating side and configured to store water to be applied to the sheets; a pressurizing member that applies the water in the water reservoir to a position at which the sheets are crimped; and a water replenishment pump part provided adjacent to the first pressure teeth and the water reservoir and configured to replenish the water reservoir with water.
