By the way, in the above-mentioned conventional sheet post-processing apparatus, when a jam accident occurs in the sheet being conveyed, as shown by a dotted line in FIG. 9, the conveying guide 5b is received. 3A is rotated around the lower connecting portion to open the upper part of the conveying path, and a paper or a jammed paper is removed by inserting a hand or a jig from the opened portion. However, since the rotation amount of the conveyance guide 5b for opening cannot be increased and the opened conveyance path is gradually narrowed downward, when a jammed sheet is present at the upper part of the conveyance path, a jam is detected. Although the releasing operation can be performed relatively smoothly, if the jammed sheet exists at the lower part of the conveying path, it becomes difficult to take out the jammed sheet from the narrow conveying path, and the jam removing operation cannot be performed smoothly. Further, since the position of the paper discharge port 1a differs depending on the model of the copying machine body 1, the apparatus main body 2 shifts its position in the vertical direction with respect to the copying machine body 1 as shown in FIG. In some cases, the sheet post-processing device may stick out from the copying machine main body 1 or may not be attached at all. Further, in order to install the sheet, it is necessary to provide a transport path from the sheet discharge port 1a of the copying machine main body 1 to the receiving port of the sheet post-processing device in a separate unit.

Is raised, the upper conveyance guide 5b1 is wound around the shaft 27 by its own elasticity, while the lower conveyance guide 5b1 is wound.
The b2 is rewound from the shaft 27. When the elevating member 26 is lowered, the upper transport guide 5b1 is rewound around the shaft 27, and accordingly, the lower transport guide 5b1 is rewound.
The b2 is configured to be wound around the shaft 27. In the third embodiment having such a configuration, as shown in FIGS. 8 (a) and 8 (b), the elevating member 26 is moved up or down according to the model of the copying machine main body 1 used. The paper receiving opening 25 can be moved up and down to set the paper receiving opening 25 at a desired position. Therefore, the third
According to the embodiment of the present invention, the sheet post-processing apparatus can be scratched and connected to various copying machine main bodies without any vertical displacement with a simple operation. The sheet post-processing apparatus main body 2B is the copying machine main body. Is stably connected to the sheet, and stable sheet conveyance and post-processing become possible. Further, the sheet post-processing device main body 2B can be downsized and simplified to be shared.
