Abstract
A binding assembly has a binding frame, a pulling tie and a tightening tie. The binding frame has a base, a pressing member, two tie fastening holders and two separating members. The tie fastening holders are connected pivotally to the base and each has a pulling tie hole and a tightening tie hole. Each separating member divides the corresponding tightening tie hole into a first hole segment and a second hole segment. The pulling tie is mounted through and compressed by the pressing member and has two ends mounted respectively through the pulling tie holes. The tightening tie has two ends mounted respectively through the first hole segments along a first direction, mounted respectively over the separating members and mounted respectively through the second hole segments along a second direction opposite to the first direction.

A binding assembly comprising:
- a binding frame comprising
- a base having a top and two opposite sides;
- a pressing member mounted on the top of the base;
- two pivot ears mounted respectively on the opposite sides of the base;
- two tie fastening holders respectively connected pivotally to the pivot ears and being L-shaped, and each tie fastening holder comprising
- a lateral segment pivotally connected to a corresponding one of the pivot ears;
- a longitudinal segment connected to the lateral segment;
- a pulling tie hole defined through the longitudinal segment;
- and
- a tightening tie hole defined through the lateral segment;
- and
- two separating members mounted respectively around the lateral segments of the tie fastening holders to divide the tightening tie hole in a corresponding lateral segment into a first hole segment being adjacent to the corresponding pivot ear and a second hole segment away from the corresponding pivot ear, wherein each separating member is annular, is formed as a loop that is mounted around a corresponding one of the lateral segments and has a depression segment formed on a top of the separating member;
- a pulling tie mounted through and compressed by the pressing member and having two ends mounted respectively through the pulling tie holes in the tie fastening holders;
- and
- a tightening tie having two ends mounted respectively through the first hole segments in the tie fastening holders along a first direction, mounted respectively over the separating members and mounted respectively through the second hole segments in the tie fastening holders along a second direction opposite to the first direction.
