Abstract
A binding apparatus has a switching flapper switching a feed path for feeding papers to either an upper discharge port or a lower discharge port, a discharge roller provided on the upper discharge port, and a shutter , a stapler and a discharge roller provided on the lower discharge port. The discharge roller can feed the papers in a direction opposite to a general paper feed direction, and the shutter stops the papers on a specified position and positions the same when the papers are fed in the opposite direction. The stapler staples the positioned papers. The discharge roller presses the papers against the shutter , registers the papers, and discharges the papers in the general paper feed direction after the papers are stapled. Consequently, a miniature paper binding apparatus having a simple structure can be provided.
