Hand-operated binding device
First Claim
1. A hand-operated binding device comprising:
- a manual transport means for transporting a binding bind by a manual pressure operation, said binding band comprising a band portion with engagement portions and a head portion with a hole and a locking projection;
a pair of first and second guide members capable of opening, closing, and reducing a space for accommodating an object to be bound, said guide members being arranged to guide the band portion of said binding band when being transported by said transport means such that said band portion is bent around said object and passed through said hold in said head portion by elastic deformation of said locking projection; and
a manual driving means for driving by a manual pressure operation at least one of said first and second guide members such that said space can be opened, closed and reduced; and
wherein at least one of said transport means and said driving means are driven by the release of a locked, compressed spring, which release is achieved by a manual unlocking of the spring.

Abstract
A hand-operated binding device which may be used to bind objects, for example, a bundle of electric wires, with a binding band. The binding device is provided with a means for transporting a binding band by a manual operation, the binding band comprising a band portion with engagement portions and a head portion with a hole and a locking projection. The binding device is further provided with a pair of first and second guide members capable of opening and closing as well as reducing a space for accommodating an object to be bound. In addition, the binding device is provided with a means for driving at least one of the first and second guide members by a manual operation. The binding band that is transported by the transport means is bent around the object in the space through the first and second guide members, and the band portion with the engagement portions is passed through the hole in the head portion by utilization of the elastic deformation of the locking projection.
