Abstract

In accordance with an embodiment, a sheet post processing apparatus comprises a processing tray, a gluing section and a control section. Sheets are placed one by one in the processing tray. The gluing section enables glue to be adhered to the glue binding margin part of the sheets already placed in the processing tray. The control section includes a glue supply mode for supplying glue parts in such a manner that a glue part, which is different from a waiting glue part waiting for a next gluing when the previous glue binding is ended, is supplied to a glue adhering section of a first sheet for gluing with a second sheet through the gluing section.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A sheet post processing apparatus, comprising:
a processing tray in which sheets are placed one by one; a gluing section configured to enable glue to be adhered to the glue binding margin part of the sheet already placed in the processing tray; and a control section configured to include a glue supply mode for supplying glue parts in such a manner that a glue part, which is different from a waiting glue part waiting for a next gluing when the previous glue binding is ended, is supplied to a glue adhering section of a first sheet for gluing with a second sheet through the gluing section.

2 . The sheet post processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the control section applies the glue supply mode in a case in which a next glue binding is to be started after a given period elapses from the moment the previous glue binding is ended.

3 . The sheet post processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the glue supply mode is a first mode in which the glue part is overlapped and adhered to the glue adhering section of the first sheet.

4 . The sheet post processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the glue supply mode is a second mode in which the glue part is started to be glued from the outside of the glue adhering section of the first sheet to the end of the glue adhering section.

5 . The sheet post processing apparatus according to claim 3 , further comprising:
a reception section configured to receive either the first mode or the second mode in which the glue part is started to be glued from the outside of the glue adhering section of the first sheet to the end of the glue adhering section serving as the glue supply mode, wherein the control section executes either of the first mode and the second mode received by the reception section.

6 . The sheet post processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein
in the first mode, the control section moves a glue material imparting section of the gluing section with respect to the glue adhering section of the first sheet up and down for several times to adhere a next glue part to a waiting glue part.

7 . The sheet post processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein
in the second mode, the control section moves a glue material imparting section of the gluing section from a gluing start position which is deviated from the glue adhering section of the first sheet to the end of the glue adhering section while glue is being adhered.

8 . The sheet post processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein
the given period is set to be a period equivalent to a period during which the gluing strength is reduced in a state in which the glue to be used in a glue binding processing is exposed.

9 . The sheet post processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein
in the second mode, the control section may change the position where the gluing is to be started.

10 . The sheet post processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein
the control section may change the given period.
