Abstract

In accordance with an embodiment, a sheet glue binding processing apparatus comprises a processing tray, a glue binding section and a sheet detection section. The processing tray is used to stack a sheet in such a manner that the end of the binding margin side of the sheet is fed to a positioning section. The glue binding section is configured at the positioning section side of the processing tray to adhere glue material to the binding margin of the sheet already stacked on the processing tray. The sheet detection section detects whether or not the binding margin of the first sheet to be stacked on the processing tray is located at a specific position of the processing tray.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A sheet glue binding processing apparatus, comprising:
a processing tray configured to be used to stack a sheet in such a manner that the end of the binding margin side of the sheet is fed to a positioning section; a glue binding section configured at the positioning section side of the processing tray to adhere glue material to the binding margin of the sheet already stacked on the processing tray; and a sheet detection section configured to detect whether or not the binding margin of the first sheet to be stacked on the processing tray is located at a specific position of the processing tray.

2 . The sheet glue binding processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a control section configured to determine, based on the detection information of the sheet detection section, whether or not the glue binding section is driven to adhere glue to the first sheet S.

3 . The sheet glue binding processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the glue binding section is provided with a glue material supply section including the glue material to be adhered to the binding margin of the sheet and a cradle configured at a position facing the glue material supply section to support the sheet.

4 . The sheet glue binding processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the sheet detection section is a first sheet detection sensor for detecting whether or not the binding margin of the sheet is located in a sheet discharge direction.

5 . The sheet glue binding processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the sheet detection section is a first sheet detection sensor for detecting whether or not the binding margin of the sheet is located in a sheet discharge direction and a second sheet detection sensor configured at a position different from the position of the first sheet detection sensor in the sheet discharge direction.

6 . The sheet glue binding processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the sheet detection section is a first sheet detection sensor for detecting whether or not the binding margin of the sheet is located in a sheet discharge direction and a second sheet detection sensor configured at a position separated from the first sheet detection sensor in a sheet width direction

7 . The sheet glue binding processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein
the first sheet detection sensor and the second sheet detection sensor are arranged to be opposite to each other nearby a glue material adhering section that is assumed to be adhered with glue material through the glue binding section in the width direction.

8 . The sheet glue binding processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein
the first sheet detection sensor is arranged nearby a glue material adhering section that is assumed to be adhered with glue material through the glue binding section, and the second sheet detection sensor is arranged at a separated position in the width direction of a detection target sheet.

9 . The sheet glue binding processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein
the glue binding section is provided with a glue material supply section including the glue material to be adhered to the binding margin of the sheet, a cradle arranged to be opposite to the glue material supply section across the sheet to support the sheet, and a second sheet detection sensor; wherein, the cradle and the second sheet detection sensor are integrated to be capable of moving in the width direction of the sheet.

10 . The sheet glue binding processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the sheet detection section is configured to detect the end position of the sheet to be fed to the positioning section.
