Abstract
There is provided a bookbinding device for binding a plurality of sheets together by pressure-deforming a twin-ring inserted through each of holes in the sheets, comprising: an anvil; a press section for pressurizing the twin-ring between it and the anvil; a power transmission section for sliding the,press section; and an operating section for sliding the power transmission section, wherein the power transmission section is moved along the length of the twin-ring; and the press section is moved in a direction perpendicular to the length of the twin-ring. The rotational motion of the operating section is converted to a sliding motion of the power transmission section by the engagement of the rack and pinion and the sliding directions of the power transmission section and the press section are converted at respective inclined planes.
