Description

  The present invention relates to a binding and tightening tool such as a manual operation type used when a binding band made of synthetic resin or the like used as a means for binding a binding object such as an electric wire is tightened and bound under a predetermined strength. It is.

  Conventionally, the binding tightening tool as described above, that is, a holding part for holding the head part of a binding band composed of a head part and a band part, and the band inserted through the head part held by the holding part. A tightening mechanism capable of forcibly pulling the portion, an operating tool for operating the tightening mechanism with an operating force of a finger, and the band portion tightened by the tightening mechanism from the head portion toward the lower side in the tightening direction. As a binding and tightening tool having a cutting mechanism that can be cut at a portion in the vicinity of the head portion in the protruding portion, the one disclosed in Patent Document 1 is known.

  In the device disclosed in Patent Document 1, the tightening operation associated with the bundling of the band portion through the head portion is easily transmitted by efficiently transmitting the force of fingers with the tightening mechanism configured in the tool body (device main body). It has the advantage that it can be carried out reliably, and a strong and tightly bound state can be obtained without damaging the fingers. In this binding and tightening tool, a cutting lever for cutting an excessive band portion in a tightened state with an operating force of a finger is provided at a tip portion of a tool body.

  Therefore, in actual work using the binding and tightening tool according to Patent Document 1, first, a gripping operation with fingers of the swing lever (reinforcement lever) disposed on the base end side of the tool body is performed once or plural times. The band part is tightened to obtain a necessary binding pressure (tightening pressure) state. Then, a process of holding the cutting lever with the other hand different from the hand holding the swing lever and cutting the band part at a position near the head part is performed.

In this type of binding and tightening tool, in the band setting process in which the band part is wound around the object to be bound and inserted into the head part, the two-handed operation of moving the band part with the other hand while supporting the tool body with one finger Is required. In addition, as described above, it is troublesome that the two-hand operation is required also in the band cutting process which is the final process of binding. When many bundling operations are performed continuously, it seems that the work efficiency is not good.

  An object of the present invention is to perform the tightening and bundling operations more conveniently and efficiently by allowing the band tightening operation and the band section cutting operation to be performed with one hand. It is in providing as an improved one.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, in the binding and tightening tool A, the holding part 5 that holds the head part 2 of the binding band V that includes the head part 2 and the band part 1, and the holding part 5 that holds the binding part V The band part 1 inserted through the head part 2 is forcibly pulled by the tightening mechanism a, the operation tool b for operating the tightening mechanism a by the operating force of the fingers, and the tightening mechanism a. A cutting mechanism d capable of cutting the band portion 1 at a location near the head portion 2 in a portion protruding from the head portion 2 to the lower side in the tightening direction;
The cutting mechanism d is configured to be operable by operating the operation tool b ,
The operating tool b includes a swing lever 18 that is operated with a finger, and an elastic return mechanism 28 that returns and biases the swing lever 18 to the standby position T. The tightening mechanism a is actuated by gripping and swinging in the first swing range L1 starting from, and the gripping swing in the second swing range L2 starting from the end of the first swing range L1 and The tightening mechanism a, the swing lever 18 and the cutting mechanism d are linked in a state where the cutting mechanism d is operated,
The tightening mechanism a is provided with a rotating body 21 that can contact the band portion 1 and forcibly feed the band portion 1 and swings the swing lever 18 in the gripping direction in the first swing range L1. Accordingly, the rotating body 21 is forcibly rotated in the band feed-out direction, and the rotational force is applied to the rotating body 21 as the swing lever 18 swings in the grasp release direction in the first swing range L1. Is provided with a one-way clutch Cr that operates so as not to transmit
A bundling pressure detecting means e for detecting that the tension of the band portion 1 has reached a preset value is provided, and the swing lever 18 is gripped one or more times in the first swing range L1. Is provided with a permissible mechanism j that allows the swing lever 18 to be gripped into the second swing range L2 as the binding pressure detection means e is detected and operated. It is.

Invention provides a tie tightening tool A according to claim 1, wherein the holding portion 5 is disposed at a position corresponding to the tip end of the swing lever 18, and group of the swing lever 18 according to claim 2 A reel support portion 14 that rotatably supports a reel member 13 around which the long band portion 1 is wound is disposed at a position corresponding to the end side, and is supported by the reel support portion 14. The band portion 1 unwound from the reel member 13 is configured to be supplied to the holding portion 5 through a band path 45a formed in the swing lever 18.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the cutting operation of the band portion is performed by an operating tool provided for operating the tightening mechanism by the operating force of the fingers, it is possible to operate only with one arm and a single operating tool. This eliminates the need for troublesome or cumbersome operations such as using both hands or changing the grip position of the fingers, and allows easy and convenient operation. As a result, it is possible to provide an improved bundling tightening tool that can perform tightening and bundling work more conveniently and efficiently by performing both the tightening operation of the band unit and the cutting operation of the band unit with one hand. .

Further, since the cutting mechanism is operated by an operation different from the operation for operating the tightening mechanism of the operating tool, there is no inconvenience that the cutting mechanism is operated by the operation of operating the tightening mechanism, and the cutting mechanism There is no inconvenience that the tightening mechanism is activated by the operation of activating. For example, the cutting mechanism operates in a swing region other than the swing region for the tightening mechanism, or the cutting mechanism operates when the operating tool is operated in a direction different from the operation direction for the tightening mechanism. Therefore, it is convenient that the tightening mechanism and the cutting mechanism can be operated by the operation tool, but there is no inconvenience such as cutting of the band part during the tightening operation, and the usability that the tightening and cutting operation can be performed reliably as expected. It is possible to provide a binding and tightening tool that excels in resistance.

Further, if the swing lever operated with a finger is swung within the first swing range, the tightening mechanism is activated, and if the swing lever is operated within a different second swing range, that is, exceeding the first swing range, the cutting mechanism. Operates. In other words, the tightening mechanism and the cutting mechanism can be selectively used by adjusting the amount of gripping of the swing lever by the finger, so that, for example, the hand grip change (as compared with the means of moving the operation lever in two different directions) It will be easy and convenient to operate. In addition, the tightening mechanism and the binding pressure limiting means are configured by using a general mechanism such as a swing lever, a one-way clutch, and an allowable mechanism that are gripped and swing operated, and a special mechanism. Compared to the case of frequent use, it is possible to make the operation more advantageous in terms of stabilization of operation and cost.

According to the invention of claim 2 , the holding portion is wound with the band portion that is wound around the reel member that is supported using the reel support portion that is provided at a position corresponding to the base end side of the swing lever. It is possible to use the band part used for binding work for a long period of time because it is supplied to the band, and it is troublesome and troublesome to replenish the band part every time when binding or several times. Freed from work. And since the swing lever is also used as a path to send the band part from the reel support part to the holding part, there is an advantage that the supply structure of the band part can be configured while promoting space saving and rationalization. It is easy to provide a binding and tightening tool that is excellent in work efficiency.

Each cover plate 36 is screwed to the left and right of the composite rotating body 17 so as to be a lid that covers the internal space 17S. The operation gear 33 and the clutch gear 37 are interlocked and connected in an integrally rotated state by a key shaft 41 (see FIG. 4) fitted over both of them.

  Now, this pushing mechanism c has a function of pushing a set amount of the band portion 1 drawn below the tension gear 21 by grasping the knob 39 with a finger and sliding it to the tip side. The detailed operation status is as follows. That is, when gripping the knob 39 at the return position m (see FIG. 1) and starting to slide forward, first, an action stage that is integrally formed inside the rack gear 31 and has a tip-down approach curved surface 31a at the tip. The lock release plate 33 rides on the portion 31A and moves in the vertical direction with respect to the tool body 6. The tip 33a pushes up the receiving pin 23b projecting laterally at the tip of the ratchet claw 23, and the claw 23a. And the ratchet gear 22 are disengaged, and a state in which the composite rotating body 17 is rotatable in the direction of the arrow D is brought about (see FIG. 5).

  At substantially the same time as the ratchet pawl 23 is lifted and swung, the tooth portion 31b of the rack gear 31 and the tooth portion 32b of the operation gear 32 start to engage with each other, and the rotation of the composite rotating body 17 in the two arrow directions is started. The band part 1 engaged with the gear 21 is forcibly pushed out. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the band portion 1 is pushed out and held by the tip holding portion 5 when the rack gear 31 is slid to the pushing position k where the knob 39 is located at the foremost end of the long notch 30 a. A state of projecting a set amount from the head portion 2 is obtained. Thereafter, the knob 39 at the push-out position k is slid forward to return the rack gear 31 to the return position m. During this return slide movement, the operation gear 32 and the clutch gear 37 are moved by the function of the one-way clutch 34. The composite rotating body 17 does not rotate back due to idling, so that the extruded band portion 1 is not pulled back.

  In this way, by installing the one-way clutch Cr in the tension gear 21 that is a component for the tightening mechanism a, the component for the extrusion mechanism c that rotates in the direction opposite to that during the operation of the tightening mechanism a. A rational and economical configuration that can also be used as a (rotating body for extrusion) is possible, and the engagement portion 104K of the band portion 1 and the tension gear 21 can always be engaged with each other. There is an advantage that there is no risk of damage to the locking portion 104K such that the peak portion 104b is crushed due to incompleteness. For example, in the structure disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, the structure is such that when the lever is gripped, the band is engaged and pulled, and when the lever is released, the engagement with the band is also released. There is a possibility that the band part is pushed and pulled when switching between occlusion and detachment, and the locking part of the band part may be crushed, and the subsequent engagement with the head part may become unstable. On the other hand, in the bundling and tightening tool of the present invention employing the constantly meshing structure of the band portion 1 and the tension gear 21, such a fear does not occur, and a reliable engagement state between the band portion and the head portion is realized. Thus, the advantage that the good reliability of the binding band can be maintained is obtained.

  As shown in FIGS. 3, 7, 11, and 18, the cutting mechanism d is basically a cutter blade 15 that is supported slidably back and forth by a tip holding portion 5 formed of a synthetic resin material or the like, It is comprised from the L-shaped arm 16 which has the front-end | tip part 16a which carries out uneven | corrugated engagement with the cutter blade 15. As shown in FIG. The cutter blade 15 is made of a stainless steel plate formed with a tip blade portion 15a and an operation hole 15b for passing the tip portion 16a. The cutter blade 15 accommodates the recessed hole portion (head portion 2) of the tip holding portion 5. When the L-arm 16 is in the set position g, the cutter blade 15 is in the standby position. When the L-shaped arm 16 swings and moves to the operating position q, the cutter blade 15 moves forward, and the band portion 1 is cut at a position immediately before the head portion 2.

  The L-shaped arm 16 is a part formed in a bifurcated shape in which an intermediate portion including the fulcrum Z branches into the left and right arm portions 16A and 16B so as to straddle the rail guide 42 forming the guide passage 20. It is pivotally supported by fulcrum Z. The rail guide 42 is an independent part that is formed by a pair of left and right halves 42A and 42B and is screwed to the body tip 6b, and a curved partial guide path 42R that follows the guide passage 20 is formed inside. ing. The left and right arm portions 16A and 16B are configured to be swingable in the space between the inner surface of the tool body 6 and the rail guide 42.

  As shown in FIG. 18, the structure portion 12 for supporting the cutter blade 15 in a slidable manner has a length for receiving the insertion hole 57 a for inserting the band portion 1 and the distal end portion 16 a of the L-shaped arm 16. In order to avoid interference between the metal-made cutter holder 57 in which the hole 57b is formed, the sliding plate 58 placed on the head holder 55, and the tip portion 16a of the L-shaped arm 16, the head holder 55 is moved downward. It is composed of a relief groove 55N formed to be recessed. The head holder 55 and the cutter holder 57 are screwed to the body tip portion 6b from the side. In other words, the cutter blade 15 is slidably moved back and forth in a hollow trunk formed between the upper and lower sides of the sliding plate 58 and the cutter holder 57, and slides forward or backward as the L-shaped arm 16 swings. Moved.

  The sliding plate 58 is formed with an insertion hole 58a for inserting the band part and an operation hole 58b for passing the tip part 16a. The pair of guide pieces 58g, 58g with a pair of guide pieces 58g of the sliding plate 58 is formed to a size that allows only one band portion 1 to pass through, and is wound around the binding target to be the head portion 2. It is configured to function as a band stopper that receives the band portion tip 1t reinserted into the tool body and prevents it from proceeding further into the tool body 6. Accordingly, the band portion 1 re-inserted into the head portion 2 stops before reaching the cutter blade 15, and only one band portion 1 can be cut by the cutter blade 15.

  In the cutting mechanism d, as shown in FIG. 11, when the swing lever 18 at the tightening position H is further squeezed and swung to the cutting position S (see FIG. 10), as shown in FIG. The roller 18b pushes down the base end portion of the L-shaped arm 16, whereby the L-shaped arm 16 swings in the direction of the arrow (see FIG. 11), and the cutter blade 15 moves forward and moves. When the cutter blade 15 slides in the forward direction, the band portion 1 that comes out from the tip of the guide passage 20 and is supplied to the head holder 55 through the cutter holder 57 and the sliding plate 58 can be cut. Then, the operation of the cutting mechanism d is configured to be automatically performed when the set bundling pressure defined by the bundling pressure limiting means e described later is reached and the tightening of the band portion 1 is finished. Yes.

  When the bundling pressure (tightening pressure) due to tightening of the band portion 1 reaches a set value, the bundling pressure limiting means e prevents the tightening mechanism a from operating further, while preventing the tightening mechanism a from further operating. This is a mechanism that exhibits a function of allowing further upward swing (a function of cutting the band portion 1). As shown in FIGS. 3, 7 to 10, and FIG. 20, the lever base end portion 18A of the swing lever 18 is provided. It is configured in the internal space. On the upper surface of the bottom wall 29 of the lever base end portion 18A having an upward U-shaped cross section, a slider 45 made of aluminum alloy and having a downward U-shaped cross section is bolted through a sliding plate 44 made of stainless steel. The tension adjuster 46 made of sheet metal is arranged so as to be slidable back and forth so as to straddle the slider. The tension adjuster 46 includes a bolt 47, a double nut 48, and a coil spring 49 that pass through the base end wall 46a of the base end wall 46a and the folded wall 18c formed on the base end side of the lever base end portion 18A in the front-rear direction. 18 is pressed and urged toward the front (rear) side, that is, toward the band holder 14 side.

  A triangular plate 51 is pivotally connected to the front end portion of the tension adjuster 46 by a third axis p3 facing left and right, and this triangular plate 51 is a second axis facing right and left that is located immediately above the third axis p3. It is pivotally supported by the lever base end portion 18A of the swing lever 18 at p2. On the upper side 51A of the triangular plate 51, there is formed a substantially semicircular recess 51a for inserting and pushing the roller 50 fitted on the connecting pin 26 of the operating link 25. Usually, the recess 51a is formed in the recess 51a. The roller 50 is maintained in a state where it is lowered. Due to the elasticity of the coil spring 49, the tension adjuster 46 is urged to return so that the base end wall 46a abuts against the folded wall 18c. Usually, the connecting pin 26 is positioned at the front end of the long hole 18a, and the roller 50 Is in a state of fitting into the recessed portion 51a (see FIGS. 7 and 8).

  That is, the bundling pressure limiting means e interlocks the swing lever 18 and the one-way clutch Cr via the coil spring 49 in a state where an initial stress is applied, and when the tension of the band portion 1 is equal to or less than a set value. The operating force applied to the one-way clutch Cr of the swing lever 18 becomes smaller than the initial stress and the coil spring 49 is not displaced, and the transmission state in which the operating force by the swing lever 18 is transmitted to the one-way clutch Cr is maintained. When the tension force of the band portion 1 exceeds the set value, the operating force for the one-way clutch Cr of the swing lever 18 becomes larger than the initial stress, and the coil spring 49 is displaced. Is also configured to switch to a transmission cut-off state that is not transmitted to the one-way clutch Cr.

  The operation of the binding pressure limiting means e will be described. When the bundling pressure is within the set value range, the swing lever 18 swings integrally with the swing lever 18 in the swing operation from the standby position T (see FIG. 1) to the tightening position H (see FIG. 9). The triangular plate 51 to be pushed pushes the operating link 25 through the roller 50 fitted in the recessed portion 51a, whereby the tightening mechanism a is operated and the band portion 1 is tightened. When the swing lever 18 swings back from the tightening position H to the standby position T, the one-way clutch Cr is in an inoperative state so that the composite rotating body 17 does not move and the link composed of the swing arm 19, the operating link 25, and the like. The part moves back and moves.

  When the bundling pressure (tightening pressure) reaches a set value by one or more ascending / descending operations of the oscillating lever 18, as an example, as shown in FIG. When the bundling pressure reaches a set value at an intermediate position between T and the tightening position H), the reaction force that the operating link 25 pushes the triangular plate 51 downward about the second axis p2 via the roller 50 causes the coil spring 49 to By pressing the tension adjuster 46, the triangular plate 51 is lifted upwardly about the second axis p2 and the urging force to be swung is overcome (until that, the urging force has prevailed over the reaction force).

  When the swing lever 18 continues to swing upward, the connecting pin 26 fitted in the long hole 18a cannot move downward. As a result, the triangular plate 51 swings downward about the second axis p2. As a result, the roller 50 is relatively removed from the recessed portion 51a, whereby the connecting pin 26 can freely move to the front end (on the band holder 14 side) of the long hole 18a. Then, the composite rotating body 17 is rotated back in the direction of the arrow D (see FIG. 4) by the tension force of the band portion 1 that is strongly tightened, whereby the length of the lever base end portion 18A of the connecting pin 26 is increased. It moves backward to the foremost side in the hole 18a.

  Along with the backward movement of the connecting pin 26 while the upper side 51A is in contact with the roller 50, the both ends of the connecting pin 26 and the stopper fitting 27 are not in contact with each other. It is possible to further swing up and down from the position H. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10, by continuing the operation of gripping and tightening the swing lever 18 that is gripped together with the grip portion 6a, the swing lever 18 can be swung upward and beyond the tightening position H. The pin roller 18b at the tip of the swing lever 18 pushes down the base end portion of the L-shaped arm 16 to operate the cutting mechanism d, and the band portion 1 is cut. At this time, the coil spring 49 is in a slightly compressed state, whereby the proximal end wall 46a is in a positional relationship slightly away from the folded wall 18c. While the swing lever 18 is moved upward and swinging from the swing operation position (for example, the position of FIG. 8) where the bundling pressure reaches the set value to the cutting position S, the operating link 25 is not pushed and the tightening mechanism is operated. a becomes an idle operation state, and the band portion 1 is cut in a state where the set binding pressure is maintained.

  That is, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 9, the first swing range L1 starting from the standby position T of the swing lever 18 and ending at the tightening position H (the swing region L1 between the standby position T and the tightening position H). The tightening mechanism a is actuated by grasping and swinging at, and the second swing range L2 (the tightening position H and the cutting position S starts from the tightening position H that is the end of the first swing range L1 and ends at the cutting position S. The tightening mechanism a, the swing lever 18 and the cutting mechanism d are linked in such a manner that the cutting mechanism d is actuated by gripping swinging in the swinging region L2). Therefore, the cutting mechanism d is different from the operation (the swing operation of the swing lever 18 in the first swing range L1) for operating the tightening mechanism a of the operation tool b (the first operation of the swing lever 18). 2 oscillating operation in the oscillating range L2).

  The bundling pressure limiting means e is configured to automatically operate according to a change in the balance between the bundling pressure that is increased by the operation of the tightening mechanism a and the coil spring 49, so that the operator can use the grip 6 a of the swing lever 18. Convenient that both the tightening operation to the set bundling pressure of the band portion 1 and the cutting operation of the band portion 1 can be performed by only one or a plurality of swinging operations by grasping in the co-grip state. It has become.

  Further, by operating the double nut 48 and changing the set length of the coil spring 49 to adjust the initial stress, the binding pressure can be arbitrarily increased or decreased, thereby binding pressure limiting means. e has a set value variable mechanism i for adjusting and maintaining the set value of the binding pressure. The set value variable mechanism i includes a bolt 47 and a double nut 48. The double nut 48 includes a guide nut 48A (see FIG. 20) with a guide function in which left and right end portions 48a are inserted into guide long holes 46b formed in the left and right side walls of the tension adjuster 46, and a general hexagon nut 48B. And is a main component for causing the binding pressure adjusting mechanism e to function.

  In short, the operating tool b, the tightening mechanism a, and the like are used to transmit the operating force applied to the operating tool b to the tightening mechanism a by the long hole 18a of the swing lever 18, the operating link 25, the connecting pin 26, the triangular plate 51, and the like. An operation force capable of switching between a transmission state in which the operation tool b is interlocked and a transmission interruption state in which the operation tool b and the tightening mechanism a are disconnected so that the operation force applied to the operation tool b is not transmitted to the tightening mechanism a. A transmission mechanism h is configured. The bundling pressure limiting means e maintains the operating force transmission mechanism h in the transmission state until the tension force of the band portion 1 reaches the set value, and when the tension force of the band portion 1 reaches the set value. It can be defined that the transmission mechanism h is configured to be switched to the transmission disconnected state.

  In the binding and tightening tool A, the second swing of the swing lever 18 is detected as the binding pressure detecting means e is detected by one or more times of gripping of the swing lever 18 in the first swing range L1. A permissible mechanism j that is allowed to be gripped within the range L2 is provided. It can be said that the permissible mechanism j is constituted by the triangular plate 51, the operating arm 25, the connecting pin 26, the long hole 18a of the lever base end portion 18A, etc., that is, the operating force transmission mechanism h described above.

  By the way, when the bundling pressure reaches the set value, the swing lever 18 can be swung further up from the tightening position H, that is, the connecting pin 26 moves from the front end to the rear end of the long hole 18a of the lever base end portion 18A. In FIG. 4, the tension gear 21 (the composite rotating body 17) may be rotated in the direction of the arrow D (see FIG. 4) by the elastic reaction force of the band part 1 that is strongly tightened. effective. For example, in a binding tightening tool having a structure that is cut while continuing to tighten the band part, the band part 1 is in a state of being slightly stretched and stretched slightly in the state of the set binding pressure. The engagement between 104K (mountain portion 104b) and the second engagement piece 111 of the head portion 2 may be uncertain. Then, when the band portion 1 is cut at a position close to the head portion 2 in that state, the locking portion 104K that should be engaged with the second engagement piece 111 is not engaged, and the next locking portion. There is a possibility that 104K is engaged and the excessive band portion 1 is extremely reduced, or in some cases, the engagement is impossible.

  On the other hand, in the binding and tightening tool A according to the present invention, while the connecting pin 26 moves from the front end to the rear end of the long hole 18a of the lever base end portion 18A, that is, for a moment immediately before the band portion 1 is cut. Since the composite rotating body 17 can be freely rotated, the composite rotating body 17 is slightly rotated in the direction opposite to the tightening direction as described above to relieve excessive tension of the band portion 1. The band portion can be cut in a state where the locking portion 104K of the band portion 1 and the second engagement piece 111 of the head portion 2 are properly engaged while maintaining the set binding pressure. As a result, the band portion 1 can be cut without inconvenience at a position close to the head portion 2 while realizing a stable binding state with a set binding pressure in which the band portion 1 and the head portion 2 are firmly engaged properly. Can do it.

  Further, since the connecting pin 26 moves from the front end to the rear end of the long hole 18a when the bundling pressure reaches the set value, the fact that the bundling pressure has reached the set value can be visually confirmed by observing the movement of the connecting pin 26. It is possible. This action is particularly effective when, for example, there is no linkage mechanism f and the cutting mechanism d does not automatically operate when the bundling pressure reaches a set value (when there are other cutting operations). This is advantageous because it eliminates the waste of holding and operating the swing lever even when the binding pressure reaches the set value.

  By the way, the band portion 1 guided from the reel support portion 13 through the lever base end portion 18A of the swing lever 18 to the inside of the tool body 6 is a groove portion (a band path of the band path) of the slider 45 covered with the sliding plate 44. An example) It is guided to a guide member 52 disposed inside the fulcrum Y portion of the swing arm 19 in a state of passing through 45a and straddling the lower part of the tension gear 21. A path is formed so as to be passed through the guide passage 20 after being engaged with the lower portion of the tension gear 21. The slider 45 is formed with a protruding protruding tongue 45z for guiding the band part 1 coming out of the groove part 45a to the groove part 52a of the guide member 52. Further, the groove portion 52a formed in the upwardly bifurcated upper portion of the guide member 52 has a role of introducing the band portion 1 so that the engaging portion 104K is wound around the gear portion 21a of the tension gear 21. is doing.

  As shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, the linkage mechanism f has a positional relationship in which the pin roller 18 b starts to come into contact with the base end portion 16 b of the L-shaped arm 16, that is, the positional relationship between the swing lever 18 and the L-shaped arm 16. It is constituted by. Specifically, it is configured by setting the shapes and dimensions of the swing lever 18 and the L-shaped arm 16 so that the cutter blade 15 starts moving when the swing lever 18 is lifted and swung beyond the tightening position H. Has been. That is, in the linkage mechanism f, the operating tool b, the binding pressure limiting means e, and the cutting mechanism d are operated so that the cutting mechanism d operates as the binding pressure limiting means e operates and the operating tool b continues to be operated. Can be defined as linked to each other.

  A bundling work procedure by the bundling and tightening tool A configured as described above will be described. First, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 9, in the state where the column portion 107 side portion of the head 2 is inserted and held in the recessed hole portion 56 of the tip holding portion 5, the knob 39 is grasped and slid forward. The band portion 1 having a set length is extruded from the head portion 2 (see FIG. 6). At this time, the knob 39 is immediately returned to the return position m from the pushing position k. Then, as shown in FIG. 12, the tip holding portion 5 is brought close to the harness portion n to be bound, and the protruding band portion 1 is wound around the binding scheduled harness portion n, and then the band tip The part 1t is reinserted into the band insertion hole 105 of the head part 2.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 13, the projecting piece 8 at the tip of the tool body 6 is positioned against the setting portion 9 of the binding jig J, and then the swing lever 18 at the standby position T is tightened by grasping together. The operation of swinging upward to the position H and pulling and tightening the band portion 1 existing inside the tool body 6 is repeated once or a plurality of times, and the binding planned harness portion n is tightened to a predetermined binding pressure. When the bundling pressure becomes a set value by the upward swing operation of the swing lever 18, further upward swing is possible from the tightening position H of the swing lever 18 as described above, and the band portion 1 is thereby cut. . When the band part 1 is cut, as shown in FIG. 14, by lifting the entire binding and tightening tool A, the swinging stopper 60 of the binding jig J is pushed and retreats and swings without detouring. The binding and tightening tool A can be extracted from the binding jig J and moved. In this way, the work using one cycle of the binding and tightening tool is completed.

  The tool body 6 has the following advantages due to the shape in which the tip 6b is bent downward with respect to the body main body 6A. FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate a case where the wire harness W, which is disposed on the side of the support substrate 10 mounted on the work table 91 via the harness stand 11, is bound at a number of locations. Specifically, this is a case where the harness part w2 arranged in the front and rear middle is bound by the binding band V. The binding and tightening tool A is supported by gripping its grip portion 6a with fingers, the distal end portion 6b is bent downward, the distal end holding portion 5 is separated downward with respect to the grip portion 6a, and the head portion 2 is removed. Since the direction of the recessed hole portion 56 for insertion and holding is set to face downward by 90 degrees with respect to the grip portion 6a, the body body 6A is separated upward without interfering with the harness portion on the front side. Thus, the binding and tightening operation can be performed in a posture in which the tool body 6 is substantially horizontal as a whole, in other words, in an easy posture that does not overwhelm the wrist or arm.

  In addition, since the binding operation for tightening and cutting the band portion 1 in the binding and tightening tool A is performed by the swing lever 18 that is gripped by the fingers that grip the grip portion 6a to support the tool body 6, in short, one arm. Since it can be carried out while holding the grip portion 6a for gripping the swing lever 18 once or a plurality of times, it is troublesome to use both hands or to change the grip position of fingers. Alternatively, there is an advantage that a troublesome operation is not required and the operation can be easily and conveniently performed.

  In addition, the usage of the binding / tightening tool A can be as follows. As shown in FIG. 22, the tool body 6 is held in a vertical posture in which the body main body 6 </ b> A is directed vertically with the body distal end portion 6 b facing down, and the distal end holding portion 5 faces the front side (operator side). This is a way of binding (first usage). As shown in FIG. 22, this first alternative usage method is a case in which binding is performed with the clamp portion 4 facing sideways beyond the harness portion n to be bound, or a harness portion to be bound. This is effective in a situation where there are two separate harness portions near and above n, and the binding work can only be performed from the other side.

  As shown in FIG. 23, the tool body 6 is gripped in a vertical posture in which the body main body 6A is vertically oriented with the body tip portion 6b facing down and the tip holding portion 5 faces (on the side opposite to the worker). This is a way of bundling work (second usage). As shown in FIG. 23, the second alternative usage method is a case of binding with the clamp part 4 facing sideways on the near side of the binding target harness part n, or the vicinity of the side facing the binding target harness part n. This is effective in a situation where there are separate harness portions at two locations, and the upper portion, and the binding work can be performed only from the near side.

  As shown in FIG. 24, the body body 6A is in the sideways orientation and the tip holding portion 5 is in the sideways orientation in which the tool body 6 is gripped in the sideways orientation (third usage method). As shown in FIG. 24, the third alternative usage method is a case in which the binding portion harness part n is bound with the clamp part 4 facing downward, or the binding target harness part n side and This is effective in situations where there are separate harness portions in the vicinity of both the front side and the upper side, and binding work can only be performed from the lower side.

  That is, the displacement amount (reference symbol D in FIG. 24) relative to the body main body 6A due to the bending of the body front end portion 6b having the front end holding portion 5 is set to a relatively small eye dimension. Since the direction dimension is small, the binding tightening tool A is positioned from any of the front, rear, upper and lower directions (four directions) in the binding of the wire harness W arranged on the support substrate 10 as described above. Tightening and bundling work can be performed, and it is easy to use and improves versatility, and is versatile. In addition, the binding and tightening tool is not limited to the above-described four directions of use, and can be used in an obliquely upward or obliquely downward posture, and cannot be used in any angle of 360 degrees. It has the advantage that it can be used without any problems.
