Then, the tape T is cut, and the cutting end of the tape T is rubbed up by further advancing the iron 150 to heat-bond it (FIG. 21).

After that, the cutter 156 and the iron 150 return to their original positions, the moving frame 56 is retracted by the moving mechanism 69, the arm 51 is pulled out from the tape bonding position, and the binding of the paper sheets is completed. Then, the cam member 19 also returns to the initial position, the holding members 5, 6 and 7 open to the initial position, the holding of the paper sheet is released, and the solenoid 144 is energized to open the shutter plate 136. Then, the bundled paper sheets can be taken out.

When the bundled paper sheets are taken out, the shutter plate 136 is closed again and the arm 51 returns to the tape receiving position. Then, the roller 102 of the tape supply means 100 is once rotated in the reverse direction and then forwardly rotated to feed the tape T, and similarly to the above, it is held by the arm 51 and swung to the standby position, and the standby state shown in FIG. 15 is obtained.

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the arm holding the tape end is swung around the paper sheets to be inserted at the binding position, the tape is wound, and the wound end is cut and then heat is applied. In a binding device for binding by binding, the insertion opening of the paper sheet is opened from the upper surface to the front surface of the apparatus main body, and the insertion of the paper sheet into the binding position is dropped from above or from the front. The binding device is easy to use and the insertion and removal of paper sheets can be selectively performed according to the conditions of the installation location of the device, increasing the degree of freedom in use. You can Since this insertion opening is closed by the shutter mechanism during bundling operation, it is possible to prevent accidental insertion of paper sheets during bundling and damage the paper sheets. It is especially effective when there are no paper sheets and the paper sheets are banknotes.
