  • tape tightening means for pulling back a portion of the tape disposed between the holding means and the guide means for causing the stretch of tape to be tightened in surrounding relationship to the object when the actuating means is being moved.
  • said actuating means includes an actuating lever pivotally mounted on said frame means and control means coacting between said lever and said control member for causing said control member to rotate with said lever, said control means also including lost-motion means for temporarily permitting rotation of the lever relative to the control member whereby said control member is thus temporarily maintained stationary.
  • said guide means includes a guide roller
  • said tape tightening means including a rotation transmitting device drivingly connected between said lever and said guide roller, said rotation transmitting device being actuated at the time when said lost-motion means interrupts the rotation of said control member.
  • a binding device wherein said stapler means is mounted on said frame means for swinging movement about a first axis and said actuating lever is mounted on said frame means for swinging movement about a second axis spaced from said first axis, and said lost-motion means including an arcuate cam surface formed on said actuating lever and generated about said second axis, and follower means mounted on said control member and positioned for engagement with said arcuate cam surface.
  • a binding device wherein said guide means includes a guide roller, and said tape tightening means includes a belt drive transmission interconnected to said guide roller, said belt drive transmission being connected to and driven by said actuating lever.
  • said stapler means includes a frame member slidably supported on said control member for slidable move ment longitudinally thereof, said guide means including a first guide roller rotatably supported on said control member adjacent the free end thereof and a second guide roller rotatably supported on said frame member adjacent the end thereof disposed most closely adjacent the free end of said control member, whereby said guide rollers are normally disposed adjacent but slightly spaced from one another, means coacting between said slidable frame member and said frame means for causing said slidable frame member to be slidably moved longitudinally of said control member when said stapler means is swingably moved toward said anvil means for causing said second guide roller to be moved toward said first guide roller for tightly gripping the tape therebetween, and said tape tightening means including rotation transmitting means drivingly connected to one of said guide rollers and responsive to swinging movement of said actuating means for causing withdrawal of said tape as said actuating means and said stapler means are swingably moved toward said anvil means.
  • a device for slidinglymoving a tape tightening roller in a binder which comprises a group of tape holding rollers including a floating roller and a driving roller, said driving roller in the roller group being arranged in such a manner as to be rotated by rotating means, and a clutch device capable of causing the driving roller, which is normally kept separated from the floating roller, to slide so that it comes into contact wijh the floating roller to thereby hold the tape only when the tape must be tightened prior to binding.
  • a tape tighteningdevice in a binder which cornprises stapler means including a depressable frame having tape tightening rollers at the tip thereof and a lever adapted to drive out a staple by rotating said depressable frame,both being pivoted to a further frame, said lever being provided with an actuating portion for temporarily interrupting rotating movement of the depressable frame, and an interlocking mechanism for causing said tape tightening rollers to operate to pull the tape back during the period from the interruption of the rotating movement of the depressable frame to completion of binding.
  • a binding device which comprises a receiving stand and a binding stand mounted on a base means, said receiving stand being pivotally attached to a frame accommodating staples, a depressable member incorporating a mechanism to drive out a staple, cut a tape, remove chips of the tape thus cut away and position the free end of the tape, a tape tightening mechanism including a pair of rollers capable of guiding the tape and holding the same for effecting a tightening thereof, and a lever incorporating a control mechanism adapted to bind the tape by rotating said depressable member before binding, a rotation transmission mechanism adapted to transmit the turning force of the lever to the rollers in said tape tightening mechanism during said interruption, and said binding stand being provided with a staple bending bench and a mechanism for holding the tip of the tape.
  • a binding device comprising a table plate detachably attached to the upper surface of the binding stand and a receiving table detachably attached to the opposite walls of the binding stand in such a manner that its height may be adjusted depending upon the size of the article to be bound.
