Abstract

A binding machine includes a main body, a wire feeder, a curl forming part, a cutter configured to cut the wire wound on the object to be bound, a binding part including a rotating shaft, a handle provided on one side of the main body in a first direction intersecting an axial direction of the rotating shaft, a blower configured to generate an air flow through an inside of the main body; and an exhaust port provided on one side or another side of the main body in a second direction intersecting the axial direction of the rotating shaft and an extending direction of the handle, and configured to exhaust air generated by the blower and passed through the inside of the main body.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A binding machine comprising:
a main body;
a wire feeder driven by one driving part including a motor and configured to feed a wire;
a curl forming part making a path for looping the wire fed by the wire feeder around an object to be bound;
a cutter configured to cut the wire wound on the object to be bound;
a binding part including a rotating shaft for operating a wire locking body to which the wire is locked, the binding part being driven by another driving part including a motor and being configured to twist the wire;
a handle provided on one side of the main body and extending at least partially in a first direction perpendicular to an axial direction of the rotating shaft;
a blower configured to generate an air flow through an inside of the main body; and
an exhaust port provided on one side surface or another side surface of the main body in a second direction, the second direction being perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotating shaft and perpendicular to the first direction, the exhaust port being configured to exhaust air generated by the blower and passed through the inside of the main body, wherein
the exhaust port is provided with an opening facing in the first direction of the handle.

2. The binding machine according to claim 1 , wherein,
inside the main body, the one driving part is provided on one side along the axial direction of the rotating shaft, and the another driving part is provided on another side along the axial direction of the rotating shaft, and
the blower is provided at a periphery of the one driving part or the another driving part.

3. The binding machine according to claim 2 , wherein the blower is provided (Original) on the one side or the another side of the main body in the second direction with respect to the another driving part.

4. The binding machine according to claim 3 , wherein
the main body is provided with a convex exterior portion protruding laterally outward on the one side surface or the another side surface in the second direction thereof, and
the blower is provided inside the convex exterior portion.

5. The binding machine according to claim 4 , wherein the opening of the exhaust port on a surface of the convex exterior portion protruding laterally from the main body, the surface facing in the first direction.

6. The binding machine according to claim 3 , wherein the exhaust port is provided on the one side surface or the another side surface of the main body in the second direction, and at a position facing one side portion of the blower.

7. The binding machine according to claim 3 , wherein the one driving part is provided on the one side surface or the another side surface of the main body in the second direction, and on one side along the axial direction of the rotating shaft with respect to the blower.

8. The binding machine according to claim 3 , wherein a first intake port for sucking air to pass through the inside of the main body is provided on the one side surface or the another side surface of the main body opposite to a side surface on which the exhaust port is provided.

9. The binding machine according to claim 8 , wherein,
on the one side surface or the another side surface in the second direction, the main body is provided with a convex portion protruding laterally outward at a portion connected to the handle, and a concave portion recessed inward at a portion connected between the convex portion and the handle, and
the first intake port is provided in the concave portion.

10. The binding machine according to claim 8 , comprising
an operation unit including a movable and operable member that receives operations, and
a second intake port provided in a gap between the main body and the operation unit, for passing air through the inside of the main body.

11. The binding machine according to claim 3 , wherein the curl forming part includes a first guide and a second guide, and is provided so as to protrude from an end portion on the one side of the main body in the axial direction of the rotating shaft, and
a first intake port is provided at the end portion of the one side of the main body in the axial direction of the rotating shaft and between the first guide and the second guide, for sucking air to pass through the inside of the main body.

12. The binding machine according to claim 2 , wherein the blower is provided more toward the one side in the axial direction of the rotating shaft than the one driving part.

13. The binding machine according to claim 2 , wherein the blower is provided on another side of the main body in the first direction with respect to the another driving part.

14. The binding machine according to claim 2 , wherein the blower is provided on the one side of the main body in the first direction with respect to the another driving part.

15. The binding machine according to claim 2 , wherein the blower is provided more toward the another side in the axial direction of the rotating shaft than the another driving part.
