Abstract
A sheet processing device includes a binding mechanism that has two pivot members opposed to each other to pivot on a pivot and binds sheets with a pressure by clamping the sheets between the two pivot members, a transmission member that transmits a force to pivot the two pivot members, and an intermediate member that transmits, to the binding mechanism, the force from the transmission member as the pressure with which the two pivot members clamp the sheets. When the intermediate member is in contact with the transmission member to transmit the force from the transmission member to the binding mechanism, the transmission member is held between the intermediate member and a shaft member provided at the pivot of the binding mechanism.
