The magazine comprises, between an accommodation position of the reel and a feeding path of the wire, a partition configured to separate the accommodation position of the reel and the feeding path of the wire. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A binding machine comprising: a magazine in which a reel having a wire wound thereon is accommodated; a wire feeding unit configured to feed the wire pulled out from the reel accommodated in the magazine; a curl forming unit configured to form a path along which the wire fed by the wire feeding unit is to be wound around an object; a cutting unit configured to cut the wire wound on the object; and a binding unit configured to twist the wire wound on the object and cut by the cutting unit, wherein the magazine comprises, between an accommodation position of the reel and a feeding path of the wire, a partition configured to separate the accommodation position of the reel and the feeding path of the wire, and the partition is provided on an opposite side to a delivery port of the magazine from which the wire is delivered. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The binding machine according to claim 1, wherein the partition has rotation members provided on an upstream side and a downstream side with respect to a feeding direction of the wire and configured to be rotatable in contact with the wire. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The binding machine according to claim 1, wherein the magazine comprises an openable/closable cover part, and wherein the partition has a support portion configured to be supported by the closed cover part. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The binding machine according to claim 1, wherein the magazine has an escape part for the wire on an upstream side of the partition with respect to a feeding direction of the wire in a forward direction. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The binding machine according to claim 1, wherein the magazine has a guide part configured to guide a loading path of the wire with respect to the partition. ### Claim 6 A binding machine comprising: a magazine in which a reel having a wire wound thereon is accommodated; a wire feeding unit configured to feed the wire pulled out from the reel accommodated in the magazine; a curl forming unit configured to form a path along which the wire fed by the wire feeding unit is to be wound around an object; a cutting unit configured to cut the wire wound on the object, and a binding unit configured to twist the wire wound on the object and cut by the cutting unit, wherein the magazine comprises, between an accommodation position of the reel and a feeding path of the wire, a partition configured to separate the accommodation position of the reel and the feeding path of the wire, wherein the magazine has a guide part configured to guide a loading path of the wire with respect to the partition, and wherein loading-related information indicating a loading path of the wire with respect to the partition is visibly displayed on the guide part. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The binding machine according to claim 5, wherein the guide part is provided outside the accommodation position of the reel in the magazine. ### Claim 8 (depends on 5) The binding machine according to claim 5, wherein the guide part is provided to the partition. ### Claim 9 A binding machine comprising: a magazine in which a reel having a wire wound thereon is accommodated; a wire feeding unit configured to feed the wire pulled out from the reel accommodated in the magazine; a curl forming unit configured to form a path along which the wire fed by the wire feeding unit is to be wound around an object; a cutting unit configured to cut the wire wound on the object; and a binding unit configured to twist the wire wound on the object and cut by the cutting unit, wherein the magazine comprises, between an accommodation position of the reel and a feeding path of the wire, a partition configured to separate the accommodation position of the reel and the feeding path of the wire, wherein the magazine has a guide part configured to guide a loading path of the wire with respect to the partition, wherein the magazine comprises an openable/closable cover part, and wherein the guide part is provided to the cover part. ### Claim 10 A binding machine comprising: a magazine in which a reel having a wire wound thereon is accommodated; a wire feeding unit configured to feed the wire pulled out from the reel accommodated in the magazine; a curl forming unit configured to form a path along which the wire fed by the wire feeding unit is to be wound around an object; a cutting unit configured to cut the wire wound on the object; and a binding unit configured to twist the wire wound on the object and cut by the cutting unit, wherein the magazine comprises, between an accommodation position of the reel and a feeding path of the wire, a partition configured to separate the accommodation position of the reel and the feeding path of the wire, and wherein an attention reel configured to be detachably attached to the magazine is accommodated in the magazine, loading-related information indicating a loading path of the wire with respect to the partition being visibly displayed on the attention reel. ### Claim 11 A binding machine comprising: a magazine in which a reel having a wire wound thereon is accommodated; a wire feeding unit configured to feed the wire pulled out from the reel accommodated in the magazine; a curl forming unit configured to form a path along which the wire fed by the wire feeding unit is to be wound around an object; a cutting unit configured to cut the wire wound on the object, and a binding unit configured to twist the wire wound on the object and cut by the cutting unit, wherein the magazine comprises, between an accommodation position of the reel and a feeding path of the wire, a partition configured to separate the accommodation position of the reel and the feeding path of the wire, and wherein the magazine comprises an openable/closable cover part, and wherein a guide part configured to be freely peelable with respect to the cover part and to guide a loading path of the wire with respect to the partition is bonded to the cover part.
