Provided is an apparatus provided with a collection tray for receiving a discharged sheet and shifting, a discharge unit (binding unit constituting a part of a sheet processing apparatus) for discharging a sheet, a shift rail (up-and-down rail including an up-and-down rack) provided in the discharge unit to permit a shift of the collection tray corresponding to a sheet collection amount of the collection tray, a drive member (up-and-down motor) that shifts the collection tray along the shift rail, and an extension rail capable of being added and set onto the shift rail to extend a shift range of the collection tray. By this means, it is possible to increase a collection amount of sheets relatively with ease.

A sheet processing apparatus includes a stack portion on which sheets conveyed in a conveying direction are stacked, a first regulating portion regulating a position of a sheet bundle stacked on the stack portion in a crossing direction crossing the conveying direction by contacting an end of the sheet bundle in the crossing direction, a second regulating portion regulating a position of the sheet bundle in the conveying direction by contacting an end of the sheet bundle in the conveying direction, a first binding device which moves in the crossing direction and binds by a staple, a second binding device which moves and binds without a staple, and a controller which controls the first and second binding devices. The first and second binding devices bind the corner portion of the sheet bundle.

The stacker comprises a pair of protrusions 6 prominent from side walls 5 in a spaced relation to each other to form a second opening 7 between protrusions 6, an interim chamber 13 defined by partitions 3 and protrusions 6, and a pair of inner surfaces 8 formed on protrusions 6 prominent into interim chamber 13 from side walls 5 more inward than side surfaces of a holding chamber 12. Largely deviated one of side edges of document D comes into contact to inner surface 8 in interim chamber 13 to push document D inward by projection of inner surface 8 to store document D in a vault 30 with the tolerable deviation upon stowage of a subsequent document D.

The present invention relates to an improved apparatus for handling documents, such as currency, for example bank notes. A plunger (5) comprises a body (571) and a base (579) such that when the plunger is deployed to urge documents into a securable container, the plunger moves between a fully retracted position and an intermediate position with the base (579) and body (571) together, and between the intermediate position and a fully advanced position the base (579) is displaced from the body (571).
