Abstract
A stapling device including a staple driver for inserting a staple into sheets and a clincher for bending the staple piercing through the sheets, which are opposed to each other astride a sheet passage, is provided with shifting means for bringing the staple driver and clincher close to each other in stapling operation, and widely separating said staple driver from said clincher in standing ready for stapling. The sheet passage is widely secured between the staple driver and the clincher on standby so as to allow the sheets to smoothly enter into the sheet passage. This stapling device provides an automatic sheet binding function suitably applicable as a bookbinding system for an image forming device such as a printer and copying machine.
