Title:
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BINDING ARTICLES TOGETHER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/1995/005313
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for automatically binding together rod-shaped articles such as reinforcing bars or tubular-shaped and other various articles with a wire-shaped binding material in an easy and portable manner. The apparatus comprises binding material feeding means (6), binding material bending means (8), encircling guide means (9), binding material cutting means (7) and twisting means (11). A portion of a continuous wire-shaped binding material (w) fed from the binding material feeding means is engaged with the binding material bending means to produce a starting point for bending into a U-shape. In this state, the binding material is fed from one side whereby it is guided around articles being bound together by the encircling guide means (9) while being bent into a substantially U-shape. The binding material is cut into a predetermined length and both ends of the cut binding material is twisted by a hook (25) of twisting means (11). The binding material is automatically bent into two lines so as to bind the articles in a roll, so that the binding material is increased in strength to bind strongly the articles with an extraordinarily strong binding force. Furthermore, as twisting progresses from a hook side toward the articles being bound together, it can progress until looseness of a bound portion of the articles being bound together is eliminated whereby tight binding will result.
