ABSTRACT:
An improved apparatus for stitching collated sheets is provided. Collated sleets to be stitched are transported along a first transport path portion (29) into a sheet stitching station (80) independently of different sheet stitching patterns. After sheet stitching operation of a stitching head (31), a sheet transport path for stitched sheets is divided into two sheet transport path portions, one is a fifth transport path portion (36a) extending to a sheet eject outlet (19), the other is a third transport path portion (40) extending to a sheet bending station (38), at a branch (K) . A switching gate plate is arranged at the branch (K) so as to selectively switch the transport path portions depending on whether the bending operation is required or not. A fourth transport path portion (42) extends from the sheet bending station (38) to the sheet eject outlet (19). Thus stitched sheets are all delivered from the only one sheet eject outlet (19).
