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 tape dispensing tool includes holder assembly and an applicator member. The holder assembly has a base portion and a retainer head that are spaced apart by a recess. A leader tape segment extends across the recess from a tape roll held by the base portion to the retainer head. The applicator member is moveably coupled to the holder assembly rearward of the leader tape segment. The applicator member includes a receiving surface and a pressing surface angled relative to one another. The cable bundle forces a proximal portion of the leader tape segment against the receiving surface as the cable bundle is received in the recess, which moves the applicator member. The movement of the applicator member causes the pressing surface to force a distal portion of the leader tape segment against the cable bundle to adhere the leader tape segment to the cable bundle.

A tape dispensing tool includes a hub, a fixed holder arm, and an adjustable holder arm. The hub extends through a core of a roll of tape. The fixed holder arm extends from the hub along a first side of the roll of tape and has a fixed orientation relative to the hub. The fixed holder arm includes a first cradle configured to receive a cable bundle therein. The adjustable holder arm extends from the hub along an opposite, second side of the roll of tape. The adjustable holder arm includes a second cradle configured to receive the cable bundle therein. The adjustable holder arm has an adjustable position relative to the hub and the fixed holder arm to select an angular position of the second cradle relative to the first cradle for setting an overlap amount as the tape is applied to the cable bundle.

In a winding device for wrapping an elongated bundled item and method for wrapping a bundled item with an adhesive tape in a winding device for wrapping an elongated bundled item with an adhesive tape, a roll for a predetermined length of adhesive tape is held in the winding head. The predetermined length is dimensioned for one portion of the item to be wrapped. A cutting of the adhesive tape on the bundled item can be avoided hereby.

A binding device that prevents damage to binding tape including a biodegradable material as a base material comprises a pressing surface formed on a resin attachment which is detachably mounted on a head of a tape holding plate, and therefore it is possible to mount an attachment of a shape and material suitable for binding tape to be used. Furthermore, because the tape receiving plate is formed by a rubber plate, the tape receiving plate is able to absorb a shock generated by the pointed end of the tape holding plate entering the tape receiving plate. With this arrangement, it possible to prevent damage to fragile binding tape including a biodegradable material as a base material.

An apparatus for sealing or tying products, comprising a housing with at least a first tape dispenser and a star wheel, a slot defined by or through the housing, wherein the star wheel extends at least partly in said slot, wherein the star wheel comprises a series of first cells and a series of second cells, the first and second cells being intermittently disposed in the star wheel, each cell being open to a periphery of the star wheel and two opposite sides thereof, wherein an urging device is provided having at least one edge portion for urging at least one product to be tied into one of the cells, especially a first cell.

Provided is a binding device that prevents damage to binding tape including a biodegradable material as a base material.

A pressing surface 106 is formed on an attachment 105 including resin, which is detachably mounted on a head 84 of a tape holding plate 83, and therefore it is possible to mount an attachment 105 of a shape and material suitable for binding tape 7 to be used. Furthermore, because the tape receiving plate 87 is formed by a rubber plate, the tape receiving plate 87 is able to absorb a shock generated by the pointed end 85 of the tape holding plate 83 entering the tape receiving plate 87. With this arrangement, it possible to prevent damage to fragile binding tape 7 including a biodegradable material as a base material.

An object of the present invention is to make it easy to bind a plurality of electric wires together. An electric wire bundle includes an electric wire group and a binding portion. The electric wire group includes a bundle portion in which at least a portion of a plurality of electric wires in an extension direction is bundled together. The binding portion formed by supplying a fluid binding portion forming material to an outer circumferential portion of the bundle portion in strip-shape in a form in which the bundle portion can be maintained in a bundled state and curing the binding portion forming material. Such a bundle can be formed by discharging the fluid binding portion forming material from a nozzle to the circumference of a bundle portion of a plurality of electric wires supported by an electric wire supporting portion, and curing the fluid binding portion forming material.
