Abstract: To allow a single stapling device to easily function as both an eyeglass-clinch stapling device and a flat-clinch stapling device, the stapling device includes a staple delivering portion (a knock pin) delivering a staple, a supporting table (a platform) for paper, and a clincher bending legs of the staple. The staple delivering portion, the supporting table, and the clincher are relatively movable. The stapling device further includes a controller (an operation timing controller) variably controlling timings when the staple delivering portion and the clincher move relative to the supporting table.

Abstract: A guide member (14) has an upper surface assisting conveyance of workpieces (44) mounted on a table (12) and is arranged downstream of the table (12) in a workpiece conveyance direction. A belt drive mechanism (16) has pulleys (26a to 26d, 28a to 28b), and endless belts (32a to 32d) wound around these pulleys, and is arranged above the table (12) and the guide member (14) so as to stride over the table (12) and the guide member (14). A first opening portion is formed on a bottom portion of the belt drive mechanism (16) to generate an upward suction force. A second opening portion is formed on the upper surface of the guide member (14) to generate a downward suction force. A magnitude of the suction force generated in the first opening portion exceeds a magnitude of the suction force generated in the second opening portion.
