  • Patent number: 5385087
    Abstract: A mechanism for binding nails includes a cutter for cutting a rubber tube into rubber bands. A sleeve has a number of blades coupled to one end. A hook is disposed below the cutter for hooking the rubber band and for moving the rubber band to the blades. A rod is slidably engaged in the sleeve for expanding the blades and the rubber band. The rod includes a magnetic device for attracting nails. A ring is disposed beside the blades and moved relative to the blades for moving the rubber band away from the blades so as to bind the nails automatically.
