Abstract
A sheet bundle discharging apparatus, including: a guide unit configured to guide a sheet bundle with a spine as a leading end; a receiving unit configured to receive the spine of the sheet bundle guided by the guide unit; and a discharging unit configured to discharge the sheet bundle, wherein the receiving unit includes: a first surface configured to receive the spine at a first position; a second surface configured to push the sheet bundle in a rotation direction of the receiving unit; and a third surface configured to regulate a movement of the sheet bundle in the rotation direction while the receiving unit rotates from the first position to a second position, and wherein a friction coefficient between the sheet bundle and the third surface in a direction away from the first surface is larger than a friction coefficient between the first surface and the sheet bundle.
