A rebar binding machine comprises a curl guide that causes a wire to curl, a torsion part including a torsion shaft for twisting the curled wire, and a pair of grips that can be grasped by an operator. The grips are provided to the two axial sides of the torsion shaft as viewed from the operator side when the operator grasps the grips to perform an operation, and it is possible to change the height of the grips in the axial direction of the torsion shaft.

A wire locking mechanism (200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700) for a reinforcement bar, rebar, wire tying device (100), the locking mechanism comprising (200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700) a holding member (210, 310) and a counter-holding member (220, 320) arranged to engage respective and opposite sides of a wire (230) to releasably hold the wire (230) in a locking position, where a holding force exerted on the wire (230) by the holding member (210, 310) is normal to a holding plane (A2), wherein the holding member (210, 310) is supported on a first end of an excentre arm (240, 340), the excentre arm (240, 340) being rotatably supported on a first shaft (250, 350) to rotate (R1) about an excentre arm center of rotation (255, 355), wherein the holding member (210, 310) is arranged distanced (D) along a first axis (A1) from the excentre arm center of rotation (255, 355), the first axis (A1) forming an acute angle (A) with the holding plane (A2) when in the locking position.

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 binding machine includes a wire feeding unit, a binding unit configured to rotate while locking the wire wound around the reinforcing bars, whereby to twist the wire, a curl guide configured to curl the fed wire, a leading guide configured to lead the curled wire to the binding unit, and a contact switch unit configured to be activated with the reinforcing bars abutting against the contact switch unit, in which the contact switch unit includes an abutting portion against which the reinforcing bars abut, and the abutting portion is provided between the curl guide and the leading guide and is provided on at least one side relative to an axis of rotation operation of the binding unit in a direction perpendicular to both a direction in which the curl guide and the leading guide are arranged.

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.

An apparatus for tying a wire around one or more objects, such as concrete reinforcing includes a wire feed roller configured to pass a wire around the objects to form a loop, a wire twister configured to twist the sides of the loop together, and a guiding surface arranged to deflect the wire as it is being twisted so that the ends of the wire finish pointing at least partially in the direction of the objects being tied.

A binding machine includes a wire feeding unit, a curl forming unit, a cutting unit, and a binding unit. The binding unit includes a locking member that includes a first hook and a second hook and that locks the wire by moving the first hook toward the second hook. The locking member includes a locking part that locks the wire in a state in which the first hook has been moved toward the second hook, and an unlocking part that makes it possible for the first hook to be movable away from the second hook with such an amount of movement that the locked wire does not come off between the first hook and the second hook.

A binding machine includes a wire feeding unit, a curl forming unit, a cutting unit, a binding unit, and a transmission unit that transmits movement of the binding unit to the cutting unit. The binding unit includes a locking member that locks a wire, a sleeve that actuates the locking member, and a rotary shaft that actuates the sleeve. The transmission unit includes a displacement member to be displaced by movement of the sleeve, and a transmission member that transmits movement of the displacement member to the cutting unit. The cutting unit includes a movable blade part connected to the transmission member. The displacement member switches an amount of movement of the movable blade part and a force that can be generated by the movable blade part, within a moving range of the movable blade part.

A rebar tying tool may include a holder, a stopper, a driving roller, and a driven roller. The stopper may be configured to switch between a prohibiting state in which the stopper prohibits a reel from detaching from the holder and an allowing state in which the stopper allows the reel to detach from the holder. The driving roller may be configured to rotate. The driven roller may be configured to switch between a clamped state and a non-clamped state, the wire may be clamped between the driving roller and the driven roller when the driven roller is in the clamped state, and the wire may not be clamped between the driving roller and the driven roller when the driven roller is in the non-clamped state. The driven roller may be in the non-clamped state at all times while the stopper is in the allowing state.
