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 6):
The binding unit according to  claim 5 , wherein\n when water is stored in the water reservoir, pressurization of the piston applies water and then presses the first pressure teeth to crimp the sheets; while when no water is stored in the water reservoir, pressurization of the piston presses the first pressure teeth without applying water.
