Binding machine

A binding machine comprising:

• a magazine configured to accommodate a reel that includes a tubular hub portion around which a wire is wound, and a pair of flange portions provided at both end sides in an axial direction of the hub portion;
• a pair of feeding gears configured to feed the wire accommodated in the magazine;
• a curl forming portion configured to constitute an annular feeding path for winding the wire fed by the pair of feeding gears around an object to be bound;
• and
• a wire locking body and a sleeve that are configured to twist the wire wound around the object to be bound, wherein
• the curl forming portion includes:
• a curl guide configured to curl the wire fed by the pair of feeding gears, and
• a leading guide configured to lead the wire curled by the curl guide to the wire locking body and the sleeve,
• the magazine is disposed to be offset in one direction along an axial direction of the annular feeding path, with respect to the curl guide,
• the curl guide includes a feeding direction leading portion configured to feed out the wire toward the one direction by being formed by inclining in the one direction, on a part at a distal end side of the curl guide,
• the feeding direction leading portion includes guide surfaces opposed to each other with a predetermined interval therebetween on both sides along the axial direction of the annular feeding path, and an outlet portion from which the wire is to be fed, and the outlet portion is inclined in a direction toward the one direction.
