When the tape T is fed out, the tape winding means 90 is rotated counterclockwise. be rotated. At this time, the cam at the base of the movable pinching member 92 of the tape winding means 90 The follower member 98 is the cam member 101 of the cam body 100 provided in the machine frame 99. The movable pinch member 92 closes due to the bias of the spring 97, and the tape T is removed from the tape T. sandwiched between the fixed pinching member 91 and the movable pinching member 92 of the wrapping means 90. Become. Then, the tape winding means 90 is stopped on the side opposite to the tape supply end 9. Then, the tape T forms a loop that surrounds the bundling position A of the paper sheets P. The drive of one roller 43 of the passage 41 is stopped, and this is in the normal position before starting. (Figure 16).

To briefly explain the bundling operation of paper sheets P, when bundling paper sheets P, a predetermined number of stacked and aligned paper sheets P are inserted into the paper sheet insertion opening 2 of the main body 1 of the apparatus. When inserted from the front P ₁ direction or the upper P ₂ direction, the paper sheet P is inserted from the guide edges 3 , 3 following the fixed side guides 4 , 4 .

When the paper sheet P is inserted from the front, the lower end P _b of the paper sheet P ₁ rests on the lower guide 6 and the inner end P _a hits the rear guide 5 . Further, when the paper sheet P is inserted from above, the inner end P _a of the paper sheet P ₂ is inserted along the rear guide 5, and the lower end P _b hits the lower guide 6 and stops. As a result, no matter which direction the paper sheet P is inserted, it is positioned at a predetermined position by the rear guide 5 and the lower guide 6, and the sensor 147 detects that the paper sheet P is inserted at the predetermined position. , 147 is detected, and the rear guide 5 is pushed by pushing in the paper sheets P, and the tip 148a of the shaft 148 is detected by the sensor 149, and the bundling operation is started.

[0056] When the binding operation starts, the cam body 100 is first energized by the solenoid 103. is moved in the retracting direction, whereby the cam member 101 also enters the retracted state. this state The drive motor 119 is driven, and the rotation is made through the drive gear 118 and the driven gear 119. The arm 95 rotates, and the tape T is pinched by the fixed pinching member 91 and the movable pinching member 92. In this state, the sheet P is rotated to approximately the center position in the vertical direction on the side of the tape supply end 9. In this state, the driving of the motor 111 is stopped. This allows the tape to be wrapped around the paper sheet P. The loop T is wound. Note that since the cam member 101 is in the retracted state, the rotating arm The movable clip member 92 is not opened when the clip 95 is rotated.

[0057] Next, the cam member 66 moves upward in FIG. inner links 55, 57 through rollers 64, 65, centering on shafts 60, 61, respectively. Rotate. As a result, the left and right sides form parallel links, so the main holding member 51, The base portions 51a and 52a of the main holding members 51 and 52 move in the direction toward each other, and the main holding members 51 and 5 2 comes into contact with the paper surface of the paper sheet P, and the cam surfaces 67 and 68 as the cam member 66 moves. It is tightened by the inclined surfaces 67a and 68a and held with a predetermined tightening force.

[0058] On the other hand, the rotation of the link 57 pushes the protrusion 79 of the slide member 74, and this The ride member 74 moves to the right in FIG. Since the roller 82 at the bottom of the holding member 53 is pushed up, this sub-holding member 53 moves the shaft 69. Get up in the center. At this time, the tape T surrounding the paper sheet P is the sub-holding member 5. 3 (FIG. 18).

[0059] Also, during the movement of the cam member 66, another cam surface 73 causes the cam member 66 to pass through the roller 72. The bar 71 rotates counterclockwise in FIG. 7 around the shaft 61, and its tip is sub-clamped. The member 54 turns in the direction of the paper sheet P, and near the end of the turn, the sub-holding member 54 picks up the paper sheet. In the paper of type P, the above-mentioned raised sub-holding member 53 and this sub-holding member 54 are shown. The tape T is held at a position slightly further back than the position where the tape T is wound.

[0060] As shown in FIG. 18, paper sheets P are held between main and sub-holding members 51, 52, 53, and 54. Then, the roller 43 at the tape supply end 9 is driven in reverse, pulling back the tape T and tightening it. Then, tighten the paper sheets P with tape T.

[0061] Next, the movable table 144 of the adhesive iron mechanism 140 moves forward, and the iron 146 at its tip moves forward. Glue it to the tape T wrapped around the paper sheet P, and rub it up to remove the tape. Heat bond the overlapping portions of the T-shirts (Fig. 20).

[0062] Almost simultaneously with the start of adhesion of the tape T, the cutter mechanism 124 operates, and its blade 125 The tape T is cut by hitting the tape T (FIG. 21).

[0063] At this time, the motor 111 of the advancing/retracting mechanism 110 operates, and the lever 113 and the swing arm The movable frame 93 is moved backward via the frame 115, and the driven gear 109 is thereby shifted from the drive gear 1. 08, slide and pull the shaft 94, then pull the pinch members 91 and 92. , the tips of the pinching members 91 and 92 move to a position where they do not interfere with the sub-pinching member 54. Then, the tape T is released from the sandwiched state by the sandwiching members 91 and 92. At the same time The excitation of the noid 103 is released, the cam body 100 is moved to the advanced position, and the cam member 1 01 also moves to the advance position.

[0064] After that, the drive motor 119 is driven in reverse, and the drive gear 118 and the driven gear 119 The pivot arm 95 pivots in the opposite direction. Also, at this time, the advancing/retracting mechanism 110 The motor 111 is reversely rotated, and the movable frame 9 is rotated via the lever 113 and the swing arm 115. 3 advances, and as a result, the driven gear 109 remains engaged with the driving gear 108 and slides out. id, push the shaft 94, push out the sandwiching members 91 and 92, and stop. after that, Cam follower member provided at the base of the movable pinch member 92 of the tape winding means 90 98 hits the cam member 111 of the cam body 100 provided on the machine frame 99 side, and the movable The pinch member 92 is opened.

[0065] A fixed pinch member 91 of the tape winding means 90 is placed near the tape supply end 9. The drive motor is stopped at the position between the movable pinch member 92 and the movable pinch member 92.

[0066] Also, one roller 43 of the tape passage 41 of the tape supply end 9 is cut off. The tape T is driven in reverse until the leading edge of the tape T is detected by the third tape detection means 45B. When detected by this detection means 45B, it is temporarily stopped.

[0067] At the same time, the iron 146 moves backward and the cam member 66 moves downward in FIG. The links 55 and 57 rotate accordingly, and the main clamping members 51 and 52 are separated. The paper sheet P is released from the grip, and the slide member 74 slides to the left in FIG. The lever 71 is pushed back by the protrusion 79, and the sub-clamping member 54 is rotated. At the same time, the roller 82 falls from the protrusion 80 of the slide member 74, so that the secondary clamping member 53 falls backwards.

[0068] As a result, the bundled paper sheets P are completely unclipped, and the paper sheets P are placed in front of you or on top. By pulling it out in the direction, the bundled paper sheets P can be taken out.

[0069] Then, when the paper sheet P is taken out, each sensor 147, 147, 149 activates the paper sheet P. As a result, one of the rollers 43 in the tape path 41 is driven to rotate normally. Then, the tape T is transferred to the tape waiting near the tip of the tape passage 41 of the tape supply end 9. The loop winding means 90 is fed between a fixed pinch member 91 and a movable pinch member 92. So After that, the tape T is detected by the third tape detection means 45B of the tape passage 41. At the time when a predetermined amount of tape T is sent out after the detection, the tape winding means 9 0 is rotated counterclockwise. At this time, the movable pinch member 9 of the tape winding means 90 The cam follower member 98 at the base of No. 2 is attached to the cam body 100 provided on the machine frame 99 side. Since it comes off from the cam member 101, the movable pinch member 92 closes due to the bias of the spring 97. , the tape T is placed between the fixed pinch member 91 and the movable pinch member 92 of the tape winding means 90. become stuck between. Then, the tape winding means 90 connects the tape supply end 9 with the tape winding means 90. is stopped on the opposite side, and the tape T forms a loop surrounding the binding position A of the paper sheets P. In this state, the drive of one roller 43 of the tape path 41 is stopped, and the next sheet P The machine enters a standby state for insertion (FIG. 16).

[0070] Note that the tape winding means 90 and other specific configurations are as shown in the drawings. The design is not limited to this example, and design changes may be made within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention. Changes are optional.
