A manual binding tool including a mechanism for applying plastic deformation to a tie portion located in a head portion to forcibly cause tie portions to engage with each other. A manual binding tool has a tie holding portion that receives and supports a head portion, a tightening mechanism that pulls a projection tie portion that projects through the head portion, a return preventing mechanism that blocks a return movement of the projection tie portion with respect to the head portion that is supported by the tie holding portion, and a pushing mechanism that, in a state where the head portion is supported by the tie holding portion, pushes and deforms a passed tie portion located in the head portion, and that causes the deformed portion to be engaged into an engagement hole of a root tie portion on which the head portion is previously surroundingly held.

A binding machine includes: a magazine configured to hold a staple that has a first leg portion and a second leg portion and that is opened between the first leg portion and the second leg portion; a driver configured to push the staple held in the magazine in a forward direction with an opening portion facing forward and configured to move the first leg portion and the second leg portion in the forward direction of the magazine; and a displacement portion configured to bind an object to be bound inserted between the first leg portion and the second leg portion by displacing the first leg portion moved in the forward direction of the magazine.

Tab strip segments, pluralities of interconnected tabs, fastening devices that utilize the same, and methods of forming the same. The tab strip segments include a plurality of interconnected central tabs, an interconnected leading tab, an interconnected trailing tab, and a plurality of tab attachment structures. The interconnected leading tab defines a first portion of a strip interlock structure. The interconnected trailing tab defines a second portion of the strip interlock structure. The first portion of the strip interlock structure and the second portion of the strip interlock structure of separate tab strip segments are configured to overlap and interlock with one another to define a tab strip. The methods include providing a plurality of tab strip segments and interlocking the plurality of tab strip segments, via corresponding first and second portions of the strip interlock structure to form the plurality of interconnected tabs.

A tool for sealing overlying courses of a strap that includes a gripping unit, a power supply unit detachably affixed to one end of the gripping unit, and a motor in the gripping unit. A cam is coupled to the motor and a notching unit is coupled to the cam by a plurality of linkages.

A clamping collar comprising a looped metal strap (10), and a transverse buckle (12) retained at the first end of the strap. On the outer side, the buckle forms a passage (13) through which the second end of the strap (10B) is inserted. The buckle has an inner portion (14) that is disposed against the inner face of the first end of the strap and that has a blocking transverse edge (14A) that co-operates with a blocking transverse stop (16A) of the first end of the strap that defines a blocking setback (16). The second end (10B) of the strap has a retaining transverse stop (11) received in the blocking setback (16) and co-operating in abutment with a retaining edge (17A) of said blocking setback to retain the second end of the strap to prevent it from moving in the direction in which the diameter of the collar increases.

A binding apparatus includes a pressure bonding mechanism in which pressure is applied by a pair of pressure bonding plates to a joining portion of a binding tape, which is an adhesive tape, to fasten it together by gripping and squeezing a pair of levers to rotate a pair of arms around a fulcrum. Thereby, any mixing of metal staples into an object to be bound as in a conventional binding apparatus is eliminated, and thus the quality of the object to be bound can be ensured. Further, the need for a strong grip strength like that when ejecting a staple is eliminated, and thus the burden on an operator can be reduced.

A belt pressing structure of a packing tool is provided. The packing tool includes a main body. The main body is provided with a belt pressing device, a belt winding device, and a power device. The belt pressing device includes a belt pressing seat. The belt pressing seat is pivotally connected with a handle. When in use, the user can hold the main body with one hand to lift the handle for the belt pressing device to form a passage, and a packing belt is inserted through the passage. After that, the handle is released, so that the packing belt is pressed and retained by the belt pressing device. The packing belt is tightened by using the belt winding device. Finally, the unnecessary packing belt is cut by the belt cutting device to complete the packaging operation.

A strapping tensioning and sealing tool is disclosed herein. In one or more embodiments, the strapping tensioning and sealing tool includes a tensioning assembly, the tensioning assembly configured to apply tension to a piece of strapping; and a sealing assembly, the sealing assembly comprising at least one cam member, at least one crimping jaw member, and a motive power source, the at least one cam member operatively coupling the at least one crimping jaw member to the motive power source, and the at least one crimping jaw member of the sealing assembly configured to crimp a strapping sealing member so as to secure the piece of strapping around a package or bundle of items.

A strapping tool is disclosed herein. In one or more embodiments, the strapping tool includes an external power source; a drivetrain assembly operatively coupled to the external power source; a sealing assembly, the sealing assembly comprising at least one jaw member, the drivetrain assembly operatively coupling the at least one jaw member to the external power source, and the at least one jaw member of the sealing assembly configured to crimp or notch a strapping seal member so as to secure a piece of strapping around a package or bundle of items. In these one or more embodiments, the drivetrain assembly is configured to return the at least one jaw member to an open position without sending or receiving a control signal from a control board.

A sealing tool for forming a crimp-type joint in a seal positioned on overlapping courses of strap includes a body and a motor and drive train housed in the body. The tool includes an inertia storage element to reduce power consumption. A crimping assembly is mounted to the body and coupled to the motor through the drive train. The crimping assembly includes a pair of opposing jaw elements pivotable toward one another to contact and form crimps in the seal and the strapping material. A guide pin operably connects the drive train to the jaw elements. A side plate encloses the crimping assembly and includes an elongated, slotted opening. A bearing element is mounted to the guide pin and positioned in the slotted opening. The bearing element facilitates movement of the guide pin as it moves through the slotted opening to pivot the jaw elements to the closed position. A seal position element provides indication that the seal is properly positioned in the crimping assembly.
