Abstract
A binding processing device includes a first pressing member including: a first convex portion; a first concave portion; and a first connection portion which is provided between the first convex portion and the first concave portion; and a second pressing member including: a second convex portion; a second concave portion; and a second connection portion which is provided between the second convex portion and the second concave portion. In a state in which the first convex portion of the first pressing member and the second concave portion of the second pressing member come in contact with each other at the first connection portion and the second connection portion, the first connection portion contacts with the second connection portion and a gap is formed between the first convex portion and the second concave portion along a pressing direction of the first and second pressing members. In a state in which a sheet bundle is sandwiched between the first pressing member and the second pressing member, an increased section having an increased thickness of each sheet of the sheet bundle is formed in the gap. The increased section is pressed by the first convex portion and the second concave portion.
