Abstract

Provided is a binding apparatus with which the quality of an object to be bound can be ensured and the burden on an operator can be reduced. A binding apparatus includes a pressure bonding mechanism in which pressure is applied by a pair of pressure bonding plates 34 and 35 to a joining portion of a binding tape 8, which is an adhesive tape, to fasten it together by gripping and squeezing a pair of levers 2 and 3 to rotate a pair of arms 4 and 5 around a fulcrum 6. 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.

Claims16

Dependent claims

A binding apparatus comprising:

a pair of arms that are rotated around a fulcrum by gripping and squeezing a pair of levers;
a tape supporting part that supports a binding tape so that it can be pulled out;
a tape dispensing part that is provided on one arm and dispenses the binding tape that has been pulled out from the tape supporting part;
and
a tape retaining part that is provided on the other arm and retains an end of the binding tape that has been dispensed from the tape dispensing part, wherein
an object to be bound that has been induced between the pair of arms is bound by the binding tape that is stretched between the pair of arms,
the binding tape is an adhesive tape, and
the binding apparatus comprises a pressure bonding mechanism in which a joining portion of the binding tape is pressure bonded by cooperation of a first pressure bonding member that is provided on the one arm and a second pressure bonding member that is provided on the other arm.
