Abstract: A binding machine for gardening includes a main handle capable of drawing out a tape from a front end portion thereof, a clincher arm rotatably attached to the main handle, a tape gripping device attached to a front end portion of the clincher arm and is capable of gripping an end portion of the tape drawn from the main handle, and a bonding unit configured to bond end portions of an overlapped tape. With the clincher arm completely closed with respect to the main handle and viewed from the side, the tape gripping device has a height in a vertical direction 1.5 times or less than a width in a longitudinal direction of the handle.

Abstract: A dual function binding machine for making journal notebooks at home includes a hole punching mechanism and a binding mechanism. A punch die includes a plurality of rectangular punch teeth in a graduated configuration to minimize the amount of force required to penetrate through the journal book materials. A guide provides different positions for punching through covers, inner pages and continuous punching of both. This allows the perfect alignment and fit of the outside covers with the inside pages. A spring biased lever operates the punch die in a horizontal direction. The binding mechanism included in the same machine has a vertical outer vise wall that is horizontally movable to compress the binding material to the pages and covers of the journal notebook.

Abstract: This invention relates to a binding machine which is binding a sapling or a tree branch to a support with a binding tape for fixing, particularly wherein a tape guide bar 2 comprises a garnering case built at the bottom of a body; a binding needle guide bar 3 is installed at the upper side of the body 1 and a binding portion 3a at the front end thereof is formed; a lifting operator 4 is installed at the top of the body 1 and combined with a binding needle guide bar 3 by a rotary axis 5 at one side of the body 1 to rotate each other; the lifting 4 and a pressure lever 401 are linked by a pin; the both support horns 401a of the pressure lever 401 are inserted by a guide 101 installed at the sides of the body 1 so that the pressure lever 401 can be lifted along with the guide 101; an operator 6 is installed at the front end of a lifting operator 4 so that the binding tape 7 projected from a binding portion 3a is drawn out by the operator 6 and bound by a binding needle 301, and then cut by a cutting knife 8, whe

Abstract: The present invention discloses a tape binding device winding a tape piece having an adhesive surface on one side around an electric wire bundle to bundle it. In the device, a pair of arms having a holding surface are lowered while holding the tape piece cut into a predetermined length on the holding surface. As it is lowered, free ends of both arms are lowered to both sides separated by a top portion of the electric wire bundle. At the time of lowering, after winding the tape piece by pressing it around a surface of the electric wire bundle, the free ends of both arms make adhesive surfaces of both ends of the tape piece under the electric wire bundle to adhere each other and are clipped between them, thereby laminating adhesive surfaces each other.

Abstract: A wire winding and tying machine useful in the winding of steel wire strands or the like includes a tie stock dispenser that delivers a pre cut length of tie stock to a platform. A hanking unit picks up the tie stock and delivers it to a position above pre wound strands. The hanking unit includes rockable arms that press the tie stock ends about the wound strands to a position to engage a twister that winds the tie stock about the strands.

Abstract: Tubing typically produced by an extruder is advanced to coiling apparatus and is cut to predetermined lengths. The automated apparatus includes a plurality of spindles arranged at spaced intervals about a turret, which is indexed to position each spindle to: receive, clamp and coil the last cut length of tubing; advance the coiled length of tubing to a taping station, where the spindle so advanced is rotated for application of tape at diametrically opposed locations, and advance the spindle to an ejection location, where the spindle ejects the taped coil of tubing. The taper advances a pressure-sensitive tape strip, strips a protective strip from the tape and applies the tape to the applicator surfaces of a jaw assembly which swing together causing the tape to envelope the coiled tubing and presses the ends of the pressure-sensitive tape strip together to complete the taping function. The jaws of the jaw assembly are then separated, and the jaw assembly is withdrawn from the coiled tubing.

Abstract: A tying device comprising: a stand for mounting thereon an object to be tied with a tape; a slot for feeding the tying tape; a detector, disposed beyond the forward end of the slot, for detecting the end of the tying tape; a bendable arm having a grip mechanism and pivotally provided on the stand substantially in parallel to the slot, the bendable arm being adapted to be swung upward, so that when the end of the tying tape reaches the detector, the detector produces a signal to actuate the grip mechanism to grip the end of the tying tape and actuate the bendable arm to swing upward so as to bring the end of the tying tape over the object to be tied to the underside of the object and overlap the end on a portion of the tying tape which has been fed thereto.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for the bundling of both floating and submerged logs. The log bundling apparatus comprises at least one L-shaped frame, each frame including at least one leg portion and at least one base portion extending outwardly from and rigidly connected to the leg portion, each leg portion adapted to be secured to a support structure situated within a body of water, whereby each base portion and a lower section of each leg portion is adapted to be submerged beneath a surface of the body of water. An arm structure is pivotally secured to each base portion adjacent a free end thereof. Actuating means are mounted between each L-shaped frame and each pivotable arm structure, the actuating means adapted to pivot its respective arm structure from an open position in which the arm structure is submerged beneath the surface of the water to a closed position wherein a free end of each arm structure extends above the surface of the water.
