A binding device includes a main body part and a traveling part configured to travel the main body part. The main body part includes a binding mechanism configured to feed a plurality of wires around a reinforcing bar, and to twist and bind the plurality of wires fed around the reinforcing bar, a binding mechanism moving part configured to move the binding mechanism between a binding position where binding of the reinforcing bar is performed and a retreat position away from the reinforcing bar, a reel accommodation part configured to accommodate a plurality of reels on each of which one wire is wound, and a path induction part configured to form a feeding path of wires pulled out from the plurality of reels accommodated in the reel accommodation part between the binding mechanism and the reel accommodation part.

A tie article that includes an attachment portion and a bib portion, where the bib portion includes at least one arm segment and at least one closure device (e.g., a retention wire, tin tie, clasp tie, and the like), where the attachment portion and the bib portion are integrally fabricated from a printed sheet having a first surface and a polymeric film adhered to the first surface of the printed sheet such that the closure device(s) is disposed between the first surface of the printed sheet and the polymeric film at the attachment portion. Multiple tie articles may be manufactured with an in-line process.

The operation handle includes a link portion engaged with the main handle on one side as viewed from the rotation fulcrum and a lever operation portion on the other side as viewed from the rotation fulcrum. The clincher arm is configured to rotate in a closing direction with respect to the main handle when the lever operation portion and the main handle are gripped. The binding machine for gardening further comprises a cover member configured to cover the link portion.

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.

A screw bunch includes a plurality of screws grouped together in a bunch with the enlarged head end of each screw toward a first end of the bunch and the pointed tip end of each screw toward a second end of the bunch. The screws are held together in the bunch by a band structure that extends around the bunch and that engages with the shanks of a multiplicity of the screws that are located along a perimeter of the bunch. The enlarged head ends of the screws are axially staggered. The band structure may be formed by a shrink wrap plastic band that can be separated from the bunch manually to enable individual retrieval of screws from the bunch for use. A method and machinery for production of the screw bunch is also provided.

A binding machine includes a wire feeding unit configured to feed two wires to be wound on an object to be bound, a wire guide configured to align the two wires in parallel, a binding unit having an engaging member in which the wires are to be engaged, and the binding unit configured to twist the wires which are wound on the object to be bound and which are engaged in the engaging member, a curl guide configured to curl the wires being fed by the wire feeding unit into a loop shape, an inductive guide configured to guide the wires curled by the curl guide toward the binding unit, and a parallel alignment regulation part configured to guide an alignment direction of the two wires to be engaged with the engaging member in a radial direction of the loop.

A rod-shaped body binding device includes a binding unit configured to bind a rod-shaped body by wrapping one end section of a binding tape around the rod-shaped body, a stopper configured to stop supply of the binding tape when the rod-shaped body is bound using the binding tape, and a tension regulation unit configured to continuously apply a predetermined tension to the binding tape between the stopper and the binding unit during the period from the beginning to the end of binding of the rod-shaped body by the binding unit.
