  • Publication number: 20200354096
    Abstract: A binding machine is configured to bind a bound member by a binder that is plastically deformable. The binding machine includes a driver, a driver mechanism and a clincher. The driver is configured to strike out the binder. The drive mechanism is configured to drive the driver linearly. The clincher is disposed at a position where a tip end portion of the driver is received. An insertion opening into which the bound member is inserted is provided between the driver and the clincher, and a standby portion configured to make the binder stand by is provided between the driver and the insertion opening. When the drive mechanism is actuated, the driver strikes out the binder supplied to the standby portion, and leg portions of the struck binder are pressed against the clincher and deformed.

  • Patent number: 9263715
    Abstract: A battery pack includes a casing having an opening, an engaging member having a stopper, and a regulating member configured to regulate a movement of the engaging member. The engaging member is supported in a slidable and rotatable manner relative to the casing, and is applied with a biasing force such that the stopper projects from the opening. The regulating member includes a contact portion configured to block a rotation of the engaging member and an operating portion configured to displace the contact portion to release a blocking of the rotation of the engaging member. When the operating portion is a non-operated state, the engaging member is slidable against the biasing force to retract the stopper. When the operating portion is in an operated state, the engaging member is rotatable against the biasing force to retract the stopper.
