Binding device

Abstract

A binding device includes a binding mechanism configured to feed a wire around a reinforcing bar and twist and bind the wire fed around the reinforcing bar, a binding mechanism movement section configured to move the binding mechanism between a binding position for binding the reinforcing bar and a retracted position away from the reinforcing bar, and a wire drawing section configured to draw out the wire wound on a reel. The wire drawing section draws out the wire in a movement direction of the binding mechanism, in conjunction with the movement of the binding mechanism by the binding mechanism movement section. An amount of the wire drawn out by the wire drawing section is greater than a movement amount of the binding mechanism moved by an operation of the binding mechanism movement section.
