Patent number: 11898358Abstract: A binding machine includes a wire feeder, a curl forming part, a cutter, and a binding part configured to twist the wire wound on the object and cut by the cutter. The binding part includes a wire locking body to which the wire is locked; a rotating shaft configured to operate the wire locking body; and a wire holding part including a first member and a second member. The wire holding part is configured to bend the wire wound on the object in an axial direction of the rotating shaft by the relative movement of the first member and the second member approaching each other, and to hold the wire. The cutter is provided in a wire feeding path between the wire feeder and the wire holding part, and is configured to cut the wire after the wire is held by the wire holding part.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2022Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: Max Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kouichirou Morimura, Yusuke Yoshida, Makoto Kosuge, Tetsuro Fukuda

Patent number: 11608202Abstract: A binding machine includes a wire feeding unit, a binding unit, a curl guide and an inductive guide. The inductive guide has a converging passage through which the wire fed by the wire feeding unit and curled by the curl guide passes, and a cross-sectional area of the converging passage decreases along an entry direction of the wire from an opening end portion that the wire enters. The inductive guide has an entry angle regulation part configured to change an entry angle of the wire entering the converging passage, and the inductive guide is provided on an inner side with respect to a virtual line interconnecting the opening end portion and a narrowest part of the converging passage at which the cross-sectional area is the narrowest.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2020Date of Patent: March 21, 2023Assignee: MAX CO., LTD.Inventors: Yusuke Yoshida, Kenichi Arai, Makoto Kosuge, Shigeki Shindou
