A sheet binding processing apparatus includes a conveying portion, a conveying path for sheets, a stacking portion on which sheets from the conveying path are stacked, a first regulating portion for regulating a sheet bundle on the stacking portion in a crossing direction, a second regulating portion for regulating a sheet bundle in the conveying direction, a manual setting portion for setting sheets from an outside of the apparatus, and a binding device which binds a sheet bundle by a staple and moves in the crossing direction. An angular posture of the binding device located at a third position is different from an angular posture located at a first position. An angular posture of the binding device located at the third position is different from an angular posture located at a second position. The second position is located at a second side of the first position.

A sheet processing apparatus includes a conveying portion, a conveying path, a discharge port, a stacking portion, a manual setting portion, a binding device which binds a sheet bundle formed by the stacking portion and a sheet bundle set at the manual setting portion by a staple, a first regulating portion which regulates a position of the sheet bundle at a rear side of the apparatus in a width direction, and a second regulating portion which regulates a position of the sheet bundle in the conveying direction. The binding device is formed to be movable back and forth to a front side and the rear side of the apparatus. When a staple is replenished to the binding device, the binding device is positioned at the third position so that a cartridge of the staple is loaded into the binding device from the front side of the apparatus.

A nail machine with effort-saving mechanism is provided, including: a shell body; an operating mechanism, disposed on the shell body and including a pressing lever, a driving rod and a linkage, the operating mechanism provided for being operated to move between a first position and a second position; an actuating member, two ends thereof having a sliding portion and an engaging portion respectively; a striking force accumulating mechanism, including a striking board and a force accumulating member, the striking board being movable between an initial position and a releasing position; wherein when the operating mechanism moves toward the second position, the engaging portion is engaged with the striking board, and the striking board moves toward the releasing position; when the operating mechanism is in the second position, the engaging portion is detached from the striking board, and the striking board moves toward the initial position.

Machines and methods for constructing pallets include conveying stringers on a conveyor in a conveying direction to a pneumatic stop assembly including a pawl. The pawl is moveably mounted relative to the conveyor by a parallelogram linkage and moveable by a pneumatic actuator between first and second heights relative to the conveyor. While the pawl is at its first height, a lower board in a hopper is pushed from a shelf by a pusher and onto the stringers on the conveyor. While being pushed, the ends of the board slide along and between first and second slide rails on opposite sides of the conveyor. The board positioned on the stringers is sandwiched between the pusher and the pawl at the first height while being fastened together by a nail gun. After being fastened together, the pawl is moved to its second height which does not interfere with the fastened board and stringers being conveyed by the conveyor.
