背景技術  Background art
[0002] 従来から、袋の口を閉じたり線材を束ねるため、可塑性を有した細い鉄芯等をテー プ状に被覆して構成され、一般にツイストタイと呼称される結束具が用いられている。  [0002] Conventionally, in order to close a bag mouth or bundle a wire, a tying tool generally formed as a twist tie has been used, which is formed by covering a thin plastic core with plasticity in a tape shape. .
[0003] そして、このような結束具を用いて、各種情報が表示されたタグを取り付ける結束機 が提案されている（例えば、特公昭 44— 18480号公報（図 2,図 13)参照）。  [0003] A binding machine for attaching a tag displaying various information using such a binding tool has been proposed (see, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 44-18480 (FIGS. 2 and 13)).
[0004] 従来の結束機で取り付けられるタグは、紙やプラスチック等の板状部材に 1つの孔 が開けられ、従来の結束機は、タグを所定の位置に搬送し、タグの孔に結束具を通し て袋等に巻き回した後、結束具を捩ってタグを取り付ける構成であった。  [0004] A tag attached with a conventional binding machine has a hole in a plate-like member such as paper or plastic, and the conventional binding machine transports the tag to a predetermined position and binds the binding tool into the tag hole. It was configured to attach the tag by twisting the tying tool after winding it around a bag.

[0025] 凹部 12mは位置合わせ部の一例で、情報提示部 10Aの両側辺の一部に四角形 状の溝部を形成して構成される。  [0025] The recess 12m is an example of an alignment unit, and is configured by forming a rectangular groove in a part of both sides of the information presentation unit 10A.
[0026] 図 4Bに示す第 2の実施の形態のタグ 1Bは、情報提示部 10Bと装着部 11Bと連結 部 12Bを、紙やプラスチック等の薄板材で一体に形成して構成され、図 6Bに示すよ うに、結束具 13で袋 14等の被装着物に取り付けられる。 [0026] A tag 1B of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 4B is configured by integrally forming an information presentation unit 10B, a mounting unit 11B, and a connecting unit 12B with a thin plate material such as paper or plastic. As shown in Fig. 4, the tying member 13 is attached to an attachment such as a bag 14 or the like.
[0027] 情報提示部 10Bは、例えば四角形状で各種情報が印刷等で表示される。また、各 種情報が印刷されたシールが貼り付けられても良い。更に、点字等の如く打刻された 情報が記載されてレ、ても良レ、。 [0027] The information presenting unit 10B displays, for example, various information in a rectangular shape by printing or the like. Further, a sticker on which various types of information are printed may be attached. In addition, information that has been engraved such as Braille is listed.
[0028] 装着部 11Bは、結束具 13に係止される係止溝 1 Inを 2箇所に備える。係止溝 1 In は係止部の一例で、タグ 1Bの長手方向を縦方向とした場合、タグ 1Bの横方向に所 定の間隔を開けて 2個の溝を形成して構成される。各係止溝 1 Inは、開口部分がそ れぞれ外側を向き、結束具 13が通る幅を有する。なお、開口部分を上部に向けた形 状としても良い。 [0028] The mounting portion 11B includes two locking grooves 1In that are locked to the binding tool 13.

[0038] タグ湾曲突起 30aは、図 4Aに示すタグ 1Aの装着部 11Aを、短手方向に凹状に湾 曲させる形状を有する。タグ掛け爪部 30bは、タグ 1Aの凹部 12mと合致する形状を 有した凸部で構成され、タグ 1Aの凹部 12mがタグ掛け爪部 30bに嵌ることで、タグ 1[0038] The tag bending protrusion 30a has a shape that bends the mounting portion 11A of the tag 1A shown in FIG. 4A in a concave shape in the short-side direction. The tag hooking claw portion 30b is composed of a convex portion having a shape that matches the concave portion 12m of the tag 1A. The concave portion 12m of the tag 1A is fitted into the tag hooking claw portion 30b, so that the tag 1
Aは、カールガイド 30に対して位置が合わせられる。 A is aligned with the curl guide 30.
[0039] 図 10は、結束具通路 30cの一例を示す図 9Bの A— A断面図、図 11は、結束具通 路 30cの一例を示す図 10の B部拡大図である。 [0040] 結束具通路 30cは、図 5に示す結束具 13が通る形状を有し、図 4Aに示すタグ 1A の係止孔 11mの位置に合わせてタグ湾曲突起 30aに形成された 2箇所の開口部 30 fの間をつなぐ溝部を形成して構成される。 FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. 9B showing an example of the binding tool passage 30c, and FIG. 11 is an enlarged view of a portion B in FIG. 10 showing an example of the binding tool passage 30c. [0040] The tying tool passage 30c has a shape through which the tying tool 13 shown in FIG. 5 passes, and is formed at two locations formed on the tag curved protrusion 30a in accordance with the position of the locking hole 11m of the tag 1A shown in FIG. 4A. A groove is formed to connect between the openings 30 f.
[0041] 凸状のタグ湾曲突起 30aに形成された 2箇所の開口部 30fの間をつなぐ結束具通 路 30cは、径の大きな曲線状となり、結束具通路 30cを通る結束具 13は、直線に近 い形状で緩やかに湾曲する。そして、結束具通路 30cとタグ湾曲突起 30aの距離が なるべく近くなるようにして、結束具通路 30cを通る結束具 13と、タグ湾曲突起 30aで 保持されるタグ 1 Aとの距離が近づくようにしている。  [0041] The binding tool passage 30c connecting the two openings 30f formed on the convex tag curved protrusion 30a has a large diameter, and the binding tool 13 passing through the binding tool passage 30c is a straight line. It bends gently with a shape close to. Then, the distance between the binding tool passage 30c and the tag bending protrusion 30a is made as close as possible so that the distance between the binding tool 13 passing through the binding tool path 30c and the tag 1A held by the tag bending protrusion 30a becomes closer. ing.
[0042] 図 12は、結束具取り出しスリット 30dの一例を示す図 9Cの C— C断面図、図 13A及 び図 13Bは、結束具取り出しスリット 30dの構成及び動作を示す図 12の D部拡大図 である。  FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line CC in FIG. 9C showing an example of the binding tool take-out slit 30d, and FIGS. 13A and 13B are enlarged views of a portion D in FIG. 12 showing the configuration and operation of the binding tool take-out slit 30d. It is a figure.
[0043] 結束具取り出しスリット 30dは結束具取り出し溝の一例で、結束具通路 30cより狭い 幅の溝状の開口を、タグ湾曲突起 30aに形成して構成され、結束具通路 30cは、タグ 湾曲突起 30aに面した側が全て開口している。  [0043] The binding tool take-out slit 30d is an example of a binding tool take-out groove, and is formed by forming a groove-shaped opening having a narrower width than the binding tool passage 30c in the tag curved protrusion 30a. The side facing the protrusion 30a is all open.
[0044] 結束具 13は、図 5に示すように、可塑性を有した金属または樹脂等の細線 13aを、 樹脂や紙等の被覆材 13bで被覆して構成され、幅の狭いテープ状であり、結束具取 り出しスリット 30dは、図 13Aに示すように、結束具 13の幅より狭ぐかつ、細線 13aよ り広い幅を有する。これにより、結束具通路 30cから結束具 13を抜き取る方向に力が 加わると、図 13Bに示すように、結束具 13は、結束具通路 30cと結束具取り出しスリ ット 30dとの間の面取り部 30eの形状に誘導されて、被覆材 13bが変形して結束具取 り出しスリット 30dを通り、結束具経路 30cから抜ける。  [0044] As shown in FIG. 5, the tying member 13 is formed by covering a thin wire 13a made of a plastic metal or resin with a covering material 13b made of resin or paper, and has a narrow tape shape. As shown in FIG. 13A, the binding tool take-out slit 30d is narrower than the binding tool 13 and wider than the narrow wire 13a. As a result, when a force is applied in the direction of pulling out the binding tool 13 from the binding tool passage 30c, the binding tool 13 is chamfered between the binding tool path 30c and the binding tool take-out slit 30d as shown in FIG. 13B. Guided by the shape of 30e, the covering material 13b is deformed, passes through the binder take-out slit 30d, and exits from the binder path 30c.
[0045] なお、結束具取り出しスリット 30dは、結束具通路 30cより狭い幅の開口とすることで 、タグ 1 Aを使用しないで結束機 2Aを使用した場合に、結束具取り出しスリット 30dに 結束対象となる袋等が入ることを防レ、でレ、る。  [0045] Note that the binding tool take-out slit 30d is an opening having a narrower width than the binding tool passage 30c, so that when the binding machine 2A is used without using the tag 1A, the binding tool take-out slit 30d is a binding target. Prevent the bag from entering.
[0046] 図 7A及び図 7B,図 8A及び図 8Bに戻り、突き当てガイド 31は突き当てガイド手段 の一例で、カールガイド 30のタグ湾曲突起 30aと合致する形状を有した例えば金属 板材により構成され、 2枚の金属板材の間に 1対のガイドブロック 31aを備える。  Returning to FIG. 7A and FIG. 7B, FIG. 8A and FIG. 8B, the abutment guide 31 is an example of an abutment guide means, and is constituted by, for example, a metal plate material having a shape that matches the tag curved protrusion 30a of the curl guide 30. A pair of guide blocks 31a are provided between the two metal plates.
[0047] ガイドブロック 31aは、カールガイド 30と対向する側が開口して袋 14が入る装着空 間部 31cの両側に配置され、図 5に示す結束具 13が通るガイド溝 31bを備える。ガイ ド溝 31bは結束具誘導部の一例で、カールガイド 30を突き上げガイド 31に突き当て ると、カールガイド 30の結束具通路 30cとつながる。 [0047] The guide block 31a is a mounting space in which the side facing the curl guide 30 is open and the bag 14 is inserted. Guide grooves 31b are provided on both sides of the intermediate portion 31c and through which the binding tool 13 shown in FIG. 5 passes. The guide groove 31b is an example of a binding tool guiding portion. When the curl guide 30 is pushed up against the guide 31, the guide groove 31b is connected to the binding tool passage 30c of the curl guide 30.
[0048] 図 14A及び図 14Bは、カールガイド 30の動作によるタグ 1Aの形状の変化を示す 動作説明図である。 FIGS. 14A and 14B are operation explanatory diagrams showing changes in the shape of the tag 1A due to the operation of the curl guide 30. FIG.
[0049] タグ 1Aは、図 14Aに示すように、凹部 12mがカールガイド 30のタグ掛け爪部 30b に係止されて、カールガイド 30に保持される。  As shown in FIG. 14A, the tag 1 A is held by the curl guide 30 with the recess 12 m being locked to the tag hooking claw 30 b of the curl guide 30.
[0050] タグ 1 Aの凹部 12mは、カールガイド 30のタグ掛け爪部 30bと合致する形状を有し[0050] The concave portion 12m of the tag 1A has a shape that matches the tag hooking claw portion 30b of the curl guide 30.
、タグ掛け爪部 30bと凹部 12mを 2箇所に備えることで、タグ 1Aは、凹部 12mがカー ルガイド 30のタグ掛け爪部 30bに係止されると、傾くことなくカールガイド 30に対して 位置合わせされる。 By providing the tag hooking claw 30b and the recess 12m at two locations, the tag 1A can be positioned relative to the curl guide 30 without tilting when the recess 12m is locked to the tag hooking claw 30b of the car guide 30. To be combined.
[0051] タグ 1Aを保持したカールガイド 30が、図 7B及び図 8Bに示すように突き当てガイド  [0051] The curl guide 30 holding the tag 1A is brought into contact with the abutment guide as shown in FIGS. 7B and 8B.
31に突き当てられると、カールガイド 30と突き当てガイド 31との間にタグ 1Aが挟まる  When it is abutted against 31, tag 1A is sandwiched between curl guide 30 and abutment guide 31.
[0052] これにより、タグ 1Aは、図 14Bに示すように、タグ湾曲突起 30aの形状に倣って、主 に装着部 11A付近が、短手方向に湾曲した形状となる。そして、タグ 1Aは、凹部 12 mがカールガイド 30のタグ掛け爪部 30bに係止されて位置合わせされているので、 係止孔 11mの位置がカールガイド 30の結束具通路 30cと合わせられる。 Thereby, as shown in FIG. 14B, the tag 1A has a shape in which mainly the vicinity of the mounting portion 11A is bent in the short direction, following the shape of the tag bending protrusion 30a. The tag 1A is aligned with the concave portion 12m locked to the tag hooking claw portion 30b of the curl guide 30, so that the position of the locking hole 11m is aligned with the binding tool passage 30c of the curl guide 30.
[0053] また、カールガイド 30が突き当てガイド 31に突き当てられることで、カールガイド 30 の結束具通路 30cと、突き当てガイド 31のガイドブロック 31aのガイド溝 31bが、タグ 1 Aの係止孔 1 lmを通してつながる。  [0053] Further, when the curl guide 30 is abutted against the abutment guide 31, the binding tool passage 30c of the curl guide 30 and the guide groove 31b of the guide block 31a of the abutment guide 31 are locked to the tag 1A. Connect through 1 lm hole.
[0054] これにより、装着空間部 31cに入れた袋 14の周囲に、突き当てガイド 31の一方の ガイド溝 31b力、らタグ 1Aの一方の係止孔 11mを通り、カールガイド 30の結束具通路 30cからタグ 1 Aの他方の係止孔 1 lmを通り、ガイド付き当てガイド 31の他方のガイド 溝 31bに通じる径の大きな円弧形状の経路が形成される。  [0054] As a result, the binding tool of the curl guide 30 passes around the bag 14 placed in the mounting space 31c through one guide groove 31b force of the butting guide 31 and one locking hole 11m of the tag 1A. An arc-shaped path having a large diameter is formed from the passage 30c through the other locking hole 1lm of the tag 1A and leading to the other guide groove 31b of the guide guide 31 with guide.
[0055] 従って、この経路にガイドされて結束具 13を通すことで、タグ 1 Aの 2箇所の係止孔  [0055] Therefore, the two locking holes of the tag 1A can be obtained by being guided by this path and passing the binding tool 13.
11mに、結束具 13を通すことが可能となる。また、タグ 1Aをカールガイド 30のタグ湾 曲突起 30aにより凸状に湾曲させることで、結束具 13を通す経路は、結束具を U字 形状に折り返す経路に比較して、径の大きな円弧形状とすることができるので、結束 具 13を通す際に摩擦等による負荷が小さぐ確実に結束具 13を通すことが可能とな It becomes possible to pass the binding tool 13 through 11 m. In addition, the tag 1A is curved in a convex shape by the tag-shaped curved protrusion 30a of the curl guide 30, so that the path through the binding tool 13 is U-shaped. Compared to a path that turns back into a shape, it can be made into a circular arc shape with a large diameter, so it is possible to securely pass the binding tool 13 with less load due to friction when passing the binding tool 13.
[0056] 図 15A及び図 15Bは、タグ搬送機構の構成を示す斜視図、図 16A〜図 16Eは、タ グ搬送機構の要部構成及び動作例を示す側面図である。タグ搬送機構 4Aはタグ搬 送手段の一例で、複数枚のタグ 1Aを収納するタグ収納部 40と、タグ収納部 40から 繰り出した 1枚のタグ 1Aを、タグホルダ機構 3Aのカールガイド 30に搬送するタグ搬 送ガイド 41を備える。 FIGS. 15A and 15B are perspective views showing the configuration of the tag transport mechanism, and FIGS. 16A to 16E are side views showing the main configuration and operation examples of the tag transport mechanism. The tag transport mechanism 4A is an example of a tag transport means. A tag storage unit 40 that stores a plurality of tags 1A and a single tag 1A that is fed out from the tag storage unit 40 are transported to the curl guide 30 of the tag holder mechanism 3A. A tag transport guide 41 is provided.
[0057] タグ収納部 40はタグ収納手段の一例で、複数枚のタグ 1Aが集積されるプッシャプ レート 40aと、プッシャプレート 40aを押し上げる圧縮バネ 40bと、プッシャプレート 40 a上に積層され、圧縮バネ 40bで押し上げられたタグ 1Aの位置を規制するタグ押さえ 40cと、プッシャプレート 40a上に積層されたタグ 1Aの左右方向の位置を規制するガ イドポスト 40dを備える。  [0057] The tag storage section 40 is an example of a tag storage means. A pusher plate 40a in which a plurality of tags 1A are stacked, a compression spring 40b that pushes up the pusher plate 40a, and a compression spring stacked on the pusher plate 40a. A tag retainer 40c for regulating the position of the tag 1A pushed up by 40b and a guide post 40d for regulating the position of the tag 1A stacked on the pusher plate 40a in the left-right direction are provided.
[0058] また、タグ収納部 40は、繰り出し手段の一例として、プッシャプレート 40a上に積層 されたタグ 1Aの最上位の一枚と接する送りローラ 42aと、送りローラ 42aを回転駆動 するモータ 42bと、モータ 42bの駆動力を、送りローラ 42aの軸に取り付けられたベル トローラ 42cに伝達する 1対のベルト 42dとを備える。  [0058] Further, the tag storage unit 40, as an example of feeding means, includes a feed roller 42a that contacts the topmost one of the tags 1A stacked on the pusher plate 40a, and a motor 42b that rotationally drives the feed roller 42a. And a pair of belts 42d for transmitting the driving force of the motor 42b to the belt roller 42c attached to the shaft of the feed roller 42a.
[0059] タグ搬送ガイド 41は、送りローラ 42aが回転駆動されてタグ収納部 40から水平方向 に繰り出された 1枚のタグ 1Aを、図 2等に示すタグホルダ機構 3Aのカールガイド 30 に垂直方向力も搬送する曲線状のタグガイド 43と、タグガイド 43を、カールガイド 30 の動作で退避させるローラホルダ 44と、ローラホルダ 44の動作でタグガイド 43を回 転させるガイド溝 45を備える。  [0059] The tag transport guide 41 is configured so that one tag 1A, which is fed out in the horizontal direction from the tag storage unit 40 by the rotation of the feed roller 42a, is perpendicular to the curl guide 30 of the tag holder mechanism 3A shown in FIG. A curved tag guide 43 that conveys force, a roller holder 44 that retracts the tag guide 43 by the operation of the curl guide 30, and a guide groove 45 that rotates the tag guide 43 by the operation of the roller holder 44 are provided.
[0060] タグガイド 43はガイド手段の一例で、軸 43aを支点に回転できるように支持され、図 示しないパネに付勢されて、タグ 1Aの搬送経路から退避する方向である矢印 K1方 向に回転する力を受ける。  [0060] The tag guide 43 is an example of a guide means, and is supported so as to be rotatable about a shaft 43a. The tag guide 43 is biased by a panel (not shown) and retracted from the conveyance path of the tag 1A in the direction of arrow K1. It receives a rotating force.
[0061] ローラホルダ 44は駆動力伝達手段の一例で、図 2等に示すカールガイド 30に取り 付けられ、カールガイド 30のスライド移動と連動して、矢印方向にスライド移動する。  The roller holder 44 is an example of a driving force transmission means, and is attached to a curl guide 30 shown in FIG. 2 and the like, and slides in the direction of the arrow in conjunction with the slide movement of the curl guide 30.
[0062] また、ローラホルダ 44は、ガイドローラ 44aがタグガイド 43のガイド溝 45に入り、ロー ラホルダ 44のスライド移動と、ガイド溝 45の形状と、図示しないパネの付勢力によつ て、タグガイド 43が軸 43aを支点に回転する。 [0062] Further, the roller holder 44 has a guide roller 44a that enters the guide groove 45 of the tag guide 43, The tag guide 43 rotates about the shaft 43a by the slide movement of the holder 44, the shape of the guide groove 45, and the urging force of the panel (not shown).
[0063] すなわち、ガイド溝 45は、ローラホルダ 44のガイドローラ 44aが入ることで、タグガイ ド 43の回転を誘導する所定の曲線形状を有した回転誘導部 45aを備える。また、ガ イド溝 45は、回転誘導部 45aの一端側とつながり、ローラホルダ 44のガイドローラ 44 aが入ることで、タグガイド 43の回転を規制する直線状の回転規制部 45bを備える。 更に、ガイド溝 45は、回転誘導部 45aの他端側とつながり、ローラホルダ 44のガイド ローラ 44aが入ることで、カールガイド 30の移動をガイドする直線状のカールガイド誘 導部 45cを備える。 That is, the guide groove 45 includes a rotation guide portion 45 a having a predetermined curved shape that guides the rotation of the tag guide 43 when the guide roller 44 a of the roller holder 44 is inserted. Further, the guide groove 45 is connected to one end side of the rotation guiding portion 45a and includes a linear rotation restricting portion 45b for restricting the rotation of the tag guide 43 when the guide roller 44a of the roller holder 44 is inserted. Further, the guide groove 45 is connected to the other end side of the rotation guiding portion 45a, and includes a linear curl guide guiding portion 45c that guides the movement of the curl guide 30 when the guide roller 44a of the roller holder 44 enters.
[0064] ガイド溝 45の回転規制部 45bは、タグガイド 43の軸 43aを支点とした回転方向に対 して交する方向に直線状であるので、図 16Aに示すように、ローラホルダ 44のガイド ローラ 44aが回転規制部 45bに入っていると、タグガイド 43は、送りローラ 42aにより 繰り出されるタグ 1Aの搬送経路を形成する位置で回転が規制される。  [0064] Since the rotation restricting portion 45b of the guide groove 45 is linear in the direction intersecting the rotation direction with the shaft 43a of the tag guide 43 as a fulcrum, as shown in FIG. When the guide roller 44a is in the rotation restricting portion 45b, the tag guide 43 is restricted in rotation at a position that forms a conveyance path for the tag 1A fed out by the feed roller 42a.
[0065] また、タグガイド 43がタグ 1Aの搬送経路を形成する位置にあると、ローラホルダ 44 に取り付けられているカールガイド 30は、タグガイド 43によるタグ 1Aの搬送経路から 奥方に退避している。  [0065] When the tag guide 43 is at a position that forms the transport path of the tag 1A, the curl guide 30 attached to the roller holder 44 is retracted from the transport path of the tag 1A by the tag guide 43 to the back. Yes.
[0066] ガイド溝 45の回転誘導部 45aは、タグガイド 43の軸 43aを支点とした回転方向に沿 つた曲線形状である。これにより、図 16Bに示すように、カールガイド 30が矢印 F2方 向にスライド移動して、ローラホルダ 44のガイドローラ 44aが回転規制部 45bから回 転誘導部 45aに入ると、図 16Cに示すように、タグガイド 43は、図示しないパネに付 勢されて軸 43aを支点に矢印 K1方向に回転し、タグ 1Aの搬送経路から退避する。  [0066] The rotation guiding portion 45a of the guide groove 45 has a curved shape along the rotation direction with the shaft 43a of the tag guide 43 as a fulcrum. As a result, as shown in FIG. 16B, when the curling guide 30 slides in the direction of the arrow F2 and the guide roller 44a of the roller holder 44 enters the rotation guiding portion 45a from the rotation restricting portion 45b, the curling guide 30 is shown in FIG. As described above, the tag guide 43 is urged by a panel (not shown), rotates in the direction of the arrow K1 with the shaft 43a as a fulcrum, and retreats from the conveyance path of the tag 1A.
[0067] ガイド溝 45のカールガイド誘導部 45cは、タグガイド 43が回転して退避する向きと なると、カールガイド 30の移動方向に沿った直線形状である。これにより、図 16Dに 示すように、タグガイド 43が回転して、ガイドローラ 44aが回転誘導部 45aからカール ガイド誘導部 45cに入ると、ローラホルダ 44は、カールガイド誘導部 45cにガイドされ て矢印 F2方向にスライド移動可能となり、図 16Eに示すように、カールガイド 30は更 にスライド移動する。  [0067] The curl guide guiding portion 45c of the guide groove 45 has a linear shape along the moving direction of the curl guide 30 when the tag guide 43 is rotated and retracted. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 16D, when the tag guide 43 rotates and the guide roller 44a enters the curl guide guiding part 45c from the rotation guiding part 45a, the roller holder 44 is guided by the curl guide guiding part 45c. Slide movement is possible in the direction of arrow F2, and the curl guide 30 is further slid as shown in FIG. 16E.
[0068] 図 2に示す結束具搬送機構 5Aは結束具搬送手段の一例で、回転駆動される送り ローラ 50と、送りローラ 50に結束具 13を押し付ける従動ローラ 51を備える。 2 is an example of a binder transport means, and is a rotationally driven feed. A roller 50 and a driven roller 51 that presses the binding tool 13 against the feed roller 50 are provided.

And a second operation stop portion 65c configured by forming a groove on a concentric circle with a fourth diameter larger than the third diameter. The cam groove 65a includes an operating portion 65d configured to connect the first operation stop portion 65b and the second operation stop portion 65c to form a groove whose diameter changes with respect to the shaft 67. . [0088] The actuating portion 65d of the cam groove 65a gradually increases in diameter from the first actuating stop portion 65b with respect to the rotation of the second actuating plate drive gear 65 in a predetermined direction. Connected to stop 65c. In addition, the diameter gradually decreases from the second operation stop portion 65c, leading to the first operation stop portion 65b.
[0089] これにより、図 19に示すポジションから、第 2の作動板駆動ギア 65が矢印 R2方向 に回転すると、第 2の作動板 64は、図示しないガイドローラが第 1の作動停止部 65b をガイドされる間はスライド移動が停止し、一方の作動部 65dにガイドされると、軸 67 に対して作動部 65dの径が大きくなることで矢印 F3方向にスライド移動する。また、 第 2の作動停止部 65cをガイドされる間はスライド移動が停止し、他方の作動部 65d にガイドされると、軸 67に対して作動部 65dの径が小さくなることで矢印 F4方向にス ライド移動する。  Accordingly, when the second operation plate drive gear 65 rotates in the direction of the arrow R2 from the position shown in FIG. 19, the second operation plate 64 has a guide roller (not shown) moving the first operation stop portion 65b. While being guided, the slide movement is stopped, and when guided by one actuating portion 65d, the diameter of the actuating portion 65d increases with respect to the shaft 67, and the slide moves in the direction of arrow F3. In addition, the sliding movement stops while the second operation stop portion 65c is guided, and when guided by the other operation portion 65d, the diameter of the operation portion 65d is reduced with respect to the shaft 67, so that the direction of the arrow F4 Move to the slide.
[0090] 図 2に示す結束具搬送機構 5Aは、図 19に示す第 1の作動板駆動ギア 34の軸 35 に取り付けられた間欠駆動ギア 56の駆動力力 タイミングギア 57を介して、送りロー ラ 50と同軸に備えられるギア 58に伝達される。  [0090] The tying member conveying mechanism 5A shown in FIG. 2 has a driving force force of the intermittent driving gear 56 attached to the shaft 35 of the first operating plate driving gear 34 shown in FIG. It is transmitted to gear 58 provided coaxially with LA 50.
[0091] 図 21Aは、タイミングギアの構成の一例を示す斜視図、図 21B,図 21Cは、間欠駆 動ギアとタイミングギアの構成及び動作の一例を示す斜視図である。  FIG. 21A is a perspective view showing an example of the configuration of the timing gear, and FIGS. 21B and 21C are perspective views showing an example of the configuration and operation of the intermittent drive gear and the timing gear.
[0092] 間欠駆動ギア 56は、円周の一部にギアが形成されたギア部 56aと、ギア部 56aが 非形成の範囲でタイミングギア 57の回転を規制する回転規制部 56bを備え、 1回転 の中で、所定のタイミングでギア部 56aがタイミングギア 57とかみ合う。回転規制部 5 6bは、ギア部 56aより径が大きな円弧状の円板で構成され、ギア部 56aと一体に回 転する。  The intermittent drive gear 56 includes a gear portion 56a in which a gear is formed on a part of the circumference, and a rotation restricting portion 56b that restricts the rotation of the timing gear 57 within a range where the gear portion 56a is not formed. During the rotation, the gear portion 56a meshes with the timing gear 57 at a predetermined timing. The rotation restricting portion 56b is formed of an arc-shaped disc having a larger diameter than the gear portion 56a, and rotates integrally with the gear portion 56a.
[0093] タイミングギア 57の歯厚は、間欠駆動ギア 56のギア部 56aより厚く構成され、タイミ ングギア 57は、厚み方向において間欠駆動ギア 56のギア部 56aとかみ合う位置は、 円周の全体にギアが形成される。  [0093] The tooth thickness of the timing gear 57 is thicker than the gear portion 56a of the intermittent drive gear 56, and the timing gear 57 is meshed with the gear portion 56a of the intermittent drive gear 56 in the thickness direction over the entire circumference. A gear is formed.
[0094] これに対して、タイミングギア 57は、厚み方向において間欠駆動ギア 56が回転する ことによる回転規制部 56bの軌跡と対向する位置は、図 21Aに示すように、回転規制 部 56bの軌跡に合わせて円弧状に切り欠いて回転規制凹部 57aが形成される。  On the other hand, the timing gear 57 is located at a position opposite to the locus of the rotation restricting portion 56b due to the rotation of the intermittent drive gear 56 in the thickness direction, as shown in FIG. 21A. Accordingly, a rotation restricting recess 57a is formed by notching in an arc shape.
[0095] これにより、図 21Bに示すように、間欠駆動ギア 56の回転規制部 56bがタイミングギ ァ 57の回転規制凹部 57aに入っていると、回転規制部 56bと回転規制凹部 57aがタ イミングギア 57の回転方向に対して逆向きの円弧状であるので、タイミングギア 57の 回転が規制される。これに対して、間欠駆動ギア 56は、回転規制凹部 57aが回転規 制部 56bの軌跡に沿った形状であるので、 自在に回転する。 As a result, as shown in FIG. 21B, the rotation restricting portion 56b of the intermittent drive gear 56 is Rotation of the timing gear 57 is restricted because the rotation restricting portion 56b and the rotation restricting recess 57a are arcuate in the opposite direction to the rotation direction of the timing gear 57. . On the other hand, the intermittent drive gear 56 rotates freely because the rotation restricting recess 57a has a shape along the locus of the rotation restricting portion 56b.
[0096] 回転規制部 56bが回転規制凹部 57aに入り、タイミングギア 57の回転が規制された 状態で間欠駆動ギア 56が回転し、図 21Cに示すように、ギア部 56aがタイミングギア 57にかみ合うと、回転規制部 56bが回転規制凹部 57aから外れる。これにより、間欠 駆動ギア 56の回転によってタイミングギア 57が回転する。  [0096] The rotation restricting portion 56b enters the rotation restricting recess 57a, the intermittent drive gear 56 rotates while the rotation of the timing gear 57 is restricted, and the gear portion 56a engages with the timing gear 57 as shown in FIG. 21C. Then, the rotation restricting portion 56b comes off from the rotation restricting recess 57a. Accordingly, the timing gear 57 is rotated by the rotation of the intermittent drive gear 56.
[0097] 更に、間欠駆動ギア 56とタイミングギア 57が回転して、ギア部 56aがタイミングギア 57から外れると、回転規制部 56bが回転規制凹部 57aに入り、タイミングギア 57の回 転が規制される。  Further, when the intermittent drive gear 56 and the timing gear 57 rotate and the gear portion 56a is disengaged from the timing gear 57, the rotation restricting portion 56b enters the rotation restricting recess 57a, and the rotation of the timing gear 57 is restricted. The
[0098] これにより、間欠駆動ギア 56が 1回転する間の所定のタイミングの間だけ、タイミン グギア 57が回転して、送りローラ 50が回転駆動される。また、タイミングギア 57の回 転を停止させて!/、る間は、間欠駆動ギア 56の回転規制部 56b力 Sタイミングギア 57の 回転規制凹部 57aに入ることで、タイミングギア 57の回転を規制している。これにより 、間欠駆動ギア 56のギア部 56aとタイミングギア 57のかみ合うタイミングを合わせ、ギ ァのかみ込み等の作動不良が発生しな!/、ようにして!/、る。  Thereby, the timing gear 57 rotates only during a predetermined timing while the intermittent drive gear 56 makes one rotation, and the feed roller 50 is driven to rotate. Also, while the rotation of the timing gear 57 is stopped! /, The rotation of the timing gear 57 is restricted by entering the rotation restricting portion 56b of the intermittent drive gear 56 and the rotation restricting recess 57a of the timing gear 57. is doing. As a result, the timing at which the gear portion 56a of the intermittent drive gear 56 and the timing gear 57 are engaged with each other is adjusted, and malfunctions such as gear biting do not occur!
[0099] 結束具締結機構 7Aは、図 19に示す第 2の作動板駆動ギア 65の軸 67に取り付け られた間欠駆動ギア 71の駆動力力 S、タイミングギア 72及びべベルギア 73を介してね じりアーム 70に伝達される。  The binding tool fastening mechanism 7A is connected via the driving force S of the intermittent drive gear 71, the timing gear 72, and the bevel gear 73 attached to the shaft 67 of the second operating plate drive gear 65 shown in FIG. It is transmitted to the twisting arm 70.
[0100] 間欠駆動ギア 71は、円周の一部にギアが形成されたギア部 71aと、ギア部 71aが 非形成の範囲でタイミングギア 72の回転を規制する回転規制部 71bを備え、 1回転 の中で、所定のタイミングでギア部 71aがタイミングギア 72の小ギア 72aとかみ合う。 回転規制部 71bは、ギア部 71 aより径が大きな円弧状の円板で構成され、ギア部 71a と一体に回転する。  [0100] The intermittent drive gear 71 includes a gear portion 71a in which a gear is formed on a part of the circumference, and a rotation restricting portion 71b that restricts the rotation of the timing gear 72 in a range where the gear portion 71a is not formed. During the rotation, the gear portion 71a meshes with the small gear 72a of the timing gear 72 at a predetermined timing. The rotation restricting portion 71b is formed of an arc-shaped disc having a larger diameter than the gear portion 71a, and rotates integrally with the gear portion 71a.
[0101] タイミングギア 72の小ギア 72aの歯厚は、間欠駆動ギア 71のギア部 71aより厚く構 成され、タイミングギア 72の小ギア 72aは、厚み方向において間欠駆動ギア 71のギ ァ部 71aとかみ合う位置は、円周の全体にギアが形成される。 [0102] これに対して、タイミングギア 72の小ギア 72aは、厚み方向において間欠駆動ギア 71が回転することによる回転規制部 71bの軌跡と対向する位置は、回転規制部 71b の軌跡に合わせて図 21Aに示すように円弧状に切り欠いて、回転規制凹部 72bが 形成される。 [0101] The tooth thickness of the small gear 72a of the timing gear 72 is configured to be thicker than the gear portion 71a of the intermittent drive gear 71, and the small gear 72a of the timing gear 72 is formed in the gear portion 71a of the intermittent drive gear 71 in the thickness direction. At the meshing position, a gear is formed on the entire circumference. On the other hand, the position of the small gear 72a of the timing gear 72 facing the locus of the rotation restricting portion 71b due to the rotation of the intermittent drive gear 71 in the thickness direction matches the locus of the rotation restricting portion 71b. As shown in FIG. 21A, a rotation restricting recess 72b is formed by cutting out in an arc shape.
[0103] これにより、図 21Bに示すように、間欠駆動ギア 71の回転規制部 71bが、タイミング ギア 72の小ギア 72aの回転規制凹部 72bに入っていると、回転規制部 71bと回転規 制凹部 72bがタイミングギア 72の回転方向に対して逆向きの円弧状であるので、タイ ミングギア 72の回転が規制される。これに対して、間欠駆動ギア 71は、回転規制凹 部 72bが回転規制部 71bの軌跡に沿った形状であるので、自在に回転する。  Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 21B, when the rotation restricting portion 71b of the intermittent drive gear 71 is in the rotation restricting recess 72b of the small gear 72a of the timing gear 72, the rotation restricting portion 71b and the rotation restricting portion 71b Since the recess 72b has a circular arc shape opposite to the rotation direction of the timing gear 72, the rotation of the timing gear 72 is restricted. On the other hand, the intermittent drive gear 71 rotates freely because the rotation restricting recess 72b has a shape along the locus of the rotation restricting portion 71b.
[0104] 回転規制部 71bが回転規制凹部 72bに入り、タイミングギア 72の回転が規制され た状態で間欠駆動ギア 71が回転し、図 21Cに示すように、ギア部 71aがタイミングギ ァ 72の小ギア 72aにかみ合うと、回転規制部 71bが回転規制凹部 72bから外れる。 これにより、間欠駆動ギア 71の回転によってタイミングギア 72が回転する。  [0104] The rotation restricting portion 71b enters the rotation restricting recess 72b, and the intermittent drive gear 71 rotates while the rotation of the timing gear 72 is restricted. As shown in FIG. When engaged with the small gear 72a, the rotation restricting portion 71b is disengaged from the rotation restricting recess 72b. Accordingly, the timing gear 72 is rotated by the rotation of the intermittent drive gear 71.
[0105] 更に、間欠駆動ギア 71とタイミングギア 72が回転して、ギア部 71aがタイミングギア 72の小ギア 72aから外れると、回転規制部 71bが回転規制凹部 72bに入り、タイミン グギア 72の回転が規制される。  [0105] Furthermore, when the intermittent drive gear 71 and the timing gear 72 rotate and the gear portion 71a is disengaged from the small gear 72a of the timing gear 72, the rotation restricting portion 71b enters the rotation restricting recess 72b, and the timing gear 72 rotates. Is regulated.
[0106] これにより、間欠駆動ギア 71が 1回転する間の所定のタイミングの間だけ、タイミン グギア 72が回転して、ねじりアーム 70が回転駆動される。また、タイミングギア 72の 回転を停止させている間は、間欠駆動ギア 71の回転規制部 71bがタイミングギア 72 の小ギア 72aの回転規制凹部 72bに入ることで、タイミングギア 72の回転を規制して いる。これにより、間欠駆動ギア 71のギア部 71aと、タイミングギア 72の小ギア 72aの かみ合うタイミングを合わせ、ギアのかみ込み等の作動不良が発生しないようにして いる。  Accordingly, the timing gear 72 rotates and the torsion arm 70 is driven to rotate only during a predetermined timing during which the intermittent drive gear 71 rotates once. While the rotation of the timing gear 72 is stopped, the rotation restricting portion 71b of the intermittent drive gear 71 enters the rotation restricting recess 72b of the small gear 72a of the timing gear 72, thereby restricting the rotation of the timing gear 72. ing. As a result, the timing of meshing between the gear portion 71a of the intermittent drive gear 71 and the small gear 72a of the timing gear 72 is adjusted so that malfunction such as gear meshing does not occur.
[0107] ベベルギア 73は、タイミングギア 72の大ギア 72cとかみ合う平ギア 73aを有した第 1 のべべノレギア 73bと、ねじりアーム 70の軸に取り付けられ、第 1のべべノレギア 73bと かみ合う第 2のべベルギア 73cを備え、間欠駆動ギア 71の軸方向を 90度変換して、 ねじりアーム 70に駆動力を伝達する。  [0107] The bevel gear 73 is attached to the shaft of the torsion arm 70 with the first bevel gear 73b having a flat gear 73a that meshes with the large gear 72c of the timing gear 72, and the second bevel gear 73b that meshes with the first bevel gear 73b. A bevel gear 73c is provided, and the driving force is transmitted to the torsion arm 70 by converting the axial direction of the intermittent drive gear 71 by 90 degrees.
[0108] 上述したように、結束具搬送機構 5Aを駆動する間欠駆動ギア 56は、タグホルダ機 構 3Aを駆動する第 1の作動板駆動ギア 34と同軸上に配置され、結束具締結機構 7[0108] As described above, the intermittent drive gear 56 that drives the tying member transport mechanism 5A is a tag holder machine. It is arranged coaxially with the first actuating plate drive gear 34 that drives the structure 3A, and the tying member fastening mechanism 7
Aを駆動する間欠駆動ギア 71は、結束具成形機構 6Aを駆動する第 2の作動板駆動 ギア 65と同軸上に配置されている。 The intermittent drive gear 71 that drives A is arranged coaxially with the second operating plate drive gear 65 that drives the binding tool forming mechanism 6A.
[0109] これにより、図示しない単一のモータの駆動力で、カールガイド 30によるタグ 1Aの 保持及び解放動作と、送りローラ 50による結束具 13の搬送動作と、寄せアーム 60に よる結束具 13の切断及び成形動作と、ねじりアーム 70による結束具 13の締結動作Thus, with the driving force of a single motor (not shown), the curling guide 30 holds and releases the tag 1A, the transporting operation of the binding tool 13 by the feed roller 50, and the binding tool 13 by the shifting arm 60.

図 22A〜図 22C及び図 23A〜図 23Cは、作動板の動作説明図で、次に、本実施 の形態の結束機 2Aでタグ 1Aを袋 14に取り付ける動作例について各図を参照して 説明する。  FIGS. 22A to 22C and FIGS. 23A to 23C are operation explanatory views of the operation plate. Next, an operation example of attaching the tag 1A to the bag 14 by the binding machine 2A of the present embodiment will be described with reference to each drawing. To do.
[0111] まず、結束機 2Aは、図 3に示す初期状態にある。この状態から、袋 14が装着空間 部 31cにセットされたことを図示しないセンサで検出すると、図 1に示すタグ搬送機構 4Aにより、 1枚のタグ 1Aがタグホルダ機構 3Aのカールガイド 30に搬送される。  [0111] First, the binding machine 2A is in an initial state shown in FIG. From this state, when a sensor (not shown) detects that the bag 14 is set in the mounting space 31c, one tag 1A is transported to the curl guide 30 of the tag holder mechanism 3A by the tag transport mechanism 4A shown in FIG. The
[0112] 図 24A及び図 24B,図 25A及び図 25Bは、タグ搬送機構の動作説明図である。ま ず、図 15Bに示すモータ 42bにより送りローラ 42aが回転駆動されると、プッシャプレ ート 40a上に集積された複数枚のタグ 1 Aの中で、送りローラ 42aと接している最上位 のタグ 1Aが、水平方向に繰り出される。  FIG. 24A and FIG. 24B, FIG. 25A and FIG. 25B are operation explanatory diagrams of the tag transport mechanism. First, when the feed roller 42a is rotationally driven by the motor 42b shown in FIG. 15B, among the plurality of tags 1A accumulated on the pusher plate 40a, the uppermost tag in contact with the feed roller 42a. 1A is fed out in the horizontal direction.
[0113] タグ収納部 40から繰り出された 1枚のタグ 1Aは、タグガイド 43にガイドされることで 長手方向に湾曲して、図 24Aに示すように、繰り出し方向先端側が垂直方向を向く。 そして、タグ 1Aの凹部 12m力 タグガイド 43の先端 Pから出る位置まで、タグ 1Aを繰 り出す。  [0113] One tag 1A fed out from the tag storage section 40 is curved in the longitudinal direction by being guided by the tag guide 43, and as shown in FIG. 24A, the leading end side in the feeding direction faces the vertical direction. Then, the tag 1A is extended to the position where it exits from the tip P of the tag guide 43 with the 12m force of the recess of the tag 1A.
[0114] タグガイド 43にガイドされてカールガイド 30に搬送されたタグ 1Aは、図 24Bに示す ように、凹部 12mがカールガイド 30のタグ掛け爪部 30bに位置合わせされ、タグ掛け 爪部 30bの手前で待機する。  [0114] As shown in FIG. 24B, the tag 1A guided by the tag guide 43 and transported to the curl guide 30 has its recess 12m aligned with the tag hooking claw 30b of the curl guide 30, and the tag hooking claw 30b. Wait in front of you.
[0115] 図 26は、結束具 13の搬送通路を形成する工程における結束機 2Aを示す動作説 明図である。  FIG. 26 is an operation explanatory diagram showing the binding machine 2A in the process of forming the conveyance path of the binding tool 13.
[0116] 結束機 2Aの図示しないモータが回転駆動されると、図 19に示す第 1の作動板駆 動ギア 34と第 2の作動板駆動ギア 65、図 3等に示す間欠駆動ギア 56と間欠駆動ギ ァ 71が回転駆動される。 [0116] When a motor (not shown) of the binding machine 2A is driven to rotate, the first actuating plate drive shown in FIG. The moving gear 34 and the second operating plate driving gear 65, the intermittent driving gear 56 and the intermittent driving gear 71 shown in FIG.
[0117] 結束機 2Aが図 22Aに示す初期状態から、第 1の作動板駆動ギア 34が矢印 R1方 向に回転駆動されると、第 1の作動板 32の図示しないガイドローラ力 S、図 22Aから図 22Bに示すようにカム溝 34aの一方の作動部 34dにガイドされることで、第 1の作動 板 32が原点位置 HIから矢印 F1方向にスライド移動する。これにより、図 26に示すよ うに、カールガイド 30が矢印 F2方向に移動する。  [0117] When the first actuating plate drive gear 34 is rotationally driven in the direction of the arrow R1 from the initial state shown in Fig. 22A, the binding machine 2A is driven by the guide roller force S (not shown) of the first actuating plate 32, As shown in FIG. 22B from 22A, the first operating plate 32 slides in the direction of arrow F1 from the origin position HI by being guided by one operating portion 34d of the cam groove 34a. As a result, as shown in FIG. 26, the curl guide 30 moves in the direction of arrow F2.
[0118] タグガイド 43によるタグ 1Aの搬送経路から退避した位置で待機していたカールガ イド 30が矢印 F2方向にスライド移動すると、タグガイド 43にガイドされて待機している タグ 1Aの凹部 12mに、カールガイド 30のタグ掛け爪部 30bが係止する。  [0118] When the curl guide 30 waiting at the position retracted from the tag 1A conveyance path by the tag guide 43 slides in the direction of arrow F2, it is guided by the tag guide 43 and waits in the recess 12m of the tag 1A. The tag hooking claw 30b of the curl guide 30 is locked.
[0119] また、カールガイド 30が矢印 F2方向にスライド移動すると、カールガイド 30に取り 付けられているローラホルダ 44もスライド移動して、図 16Bに示すように、ローラホル ダ 44のガイドローラ 44a力 ガイド溝 45の回転規制部 45bから回転誘導部 45aに入  [0119] When the curl guide 30 slides in the direction of arrow F2, the roller holder 44 attached to the curl guide 30 also slides, and as shown in FIG. 16B, the guide roller 44a force of the roller holder 44 Enters the rotation guide 45a from the rotation restriction 45b of the guide groove 45.
[0120] カールガイド 30が矢印 F2方向にスライド移動して、ローラホルダ 44のガイドローラ 4 4aが回転規制部 45bから回転誘導部 45aに入ると、図 16Cに示すように、タグガイド 43は、図示しないパネに付勢されて軸 43aを支点に矢印 K1方向に回転する。これ により、タグガイド 43は、図 16D及び図 25Aに示すように、タグ 1Aの搬送経路から退 避する。 [0120] When the curling guide 30 slides in the direction of arrow F2 and the guide roller 44a of the roller holder 44 enters the rotation guiding portion 45a from the rotation restricting portion 45b, as shown in FIG. It is urged by a panel (not shown) and rotates in the direction of the arrow K1 with the shaft 43a as a fulcrum. As a result, the tag guide 43 retreats from the conveyance path of the tag 1A as shown in FIGS. 16D and 25A.
[0121] そして、タグガイド 43がタグ 1Aの搬送経路から退避して、ローラホルダ 44のガイド ローラ 44aが回転誘導部 45aからカールガイド誘導部 45cに入ると、ローラホルダ 44 は、カールガイド誘導部 45cにガイドされて矢印 F2方向にスライド移動可能となり、図 16E及び図 25Bに示すように、カールガイド 30は更に矢印 F2方向にスライド移動し て、突き当てガイド 31に突き当てられる。  [0121] Then, when the tag guide 43 is retracted from the conveyance path of the tag 1A and the guide roller 44a of the roller holder 44 enters the curl guide guiding portion 45c from the rotation guiding portion 45a, the roller holder 44 is moved to the curl guide guiding portion. It is guided by 45c and is slidable in the direction of arrow F2. As shown in FIGS. 16E and 25B, the curl guide 30 is further slid in the direction of arrow F2 and abutted against the abutment guide 31.
[0122] 凹部 12mにタグ掛け爪部 30bを係止してタグ 1Aを保持したカールガイド 30が突き 当てガイド 31に突き当てられると、カールガイド 30と突き当てガイド 31との間にタグ 1 Aが挟まる。これにより、タグ 1Aは、図 14Bに示すように、タグ湾曲突起 30aの形状に 倣って、主に装着部 11A付近力 S、短手方向に湾曲した形状となる。そして、タグ 1A は、凹部 12mがカールガイド 30のタグ掛け爪部 30bに係止されて位置合わせされて いるので、係止孔 1 lmの位置がカールガイド 30の結束具通路 30cと合わせられる。 [0122] When the curl guide 30 holding the tag 1A by locking the tag hooking claw 30b to the recess 12m is abutted against the abutment guide 31, the tag 1 A is placed between the curl guide 30 and the abutment guide 31. Get caught. Thus, as shown in FIG. 14B, the tag 1A has a shape mainly curved in the lateral direction mainly by the force S near the mounting portion 11A, following the shape of the tag bending protrusion 30a. And tag 1A Since the recess 12m is locked and aligned with the tag hooking claw portion 30b of the curl guide 30, the position of the locking hole 1lm is aligned with the binding tool passage 30c of the curl guide 30.
[0123] また、カールガイド 30が突き当てガイド 31に突き当てられることで、カールガイド 30 の結束具通路 30cと、突き当てガイド 31のガイドブロック 31aのガイド溝 31bが、タグ 1 Aの係止孔 1 lmを通してつながる。  [0123] Further, when the curl guide 30 is abutted against the abutment guide 31, the binding tool passage 30c of the curl guide 30 and the guide groove 31b of the guide block 31a of the abutment guide 31 are locked to the tag 1A. Connect through 1 lm hole.
[0124] これにより、一方の突き当てガイド 31のガイド溝 31bからタグ 1Aの一方の係止孔 11 mを通り、カールガイド 30の結束具通路 30cからタグ 1Aの他方の係止孔 11mを通り 、他方のガイド付き当てガイド 31のガイド溝 31bに通じる経路が形成される。  [0124] Thus, the guide groove 31b of one abutment guide 31 passes through one locking hole 11m of the tag 1A, and the binding tool passage 30c of the curl guide 30 passes through the other locking hole 11m of the tag 1A. A path leading to the guide groove 31b of the other guide guide with guide 31 is formed.
[0125] さて、結束機 2Aが図 22Aに示す初期状態から、第 1の作動板駆動ギア 34を回転さ せるため第 2の作動板駆動ギア 65が矢印 R2方向に回転駆動されると、第 2の作動 板 64の図示しないガイドローラ力 図 22Bに示すようにカム溝 65aの第 1の作動停止 部 65bにガイドされることで、第 2の作動板 64は原点位置 H2からスライド移動しない  [0125] Now, when the binding machine 2A rotates from the initial state shown in Fig. 22A to rotate the first working plate drive gear 34, the second working plate drive gear 65 is driven to rotate in the direction of the arrow R2. Guide roller force (not shown) of the actuating plate 64 2 As shown in Fig. 22B, the second actuating plate 64 does not slide from the home position H2 by being guided by the first stop 65b of the cam groove 65a.
[0126] また、第 1の作動板駆動ギア 34と同軸上の間欠駆動ギア 56は、図 21Bに示すよう に、回転規制部 56bがタイミングギア 57の回転規制凹部 57aに入って、タイミングギ ァ 57の回転が規制され、間欠駆動ギア 56のギア部 56aがタイミングギア 57とかみ合 わないため、送りローラ 50が回転駆動されず、結束具 13は搬送されない。 In addition, as shown in FIG. 21B, the intermittent drive gear 56 coaxial with the first working plate drive gear 34 has the rotation restricting portion 56b entered into the rotation restricting recess 57a of the timing gear 57, so that the timing gear Since the rotation of 57 is restricted and the gear portion 56a of the intermittent drive gear 56 does not mesh with the timing gear 57, the feed roller 50 is not driven to rotate and the binding tool 13 is not conveyed.
[0127] 更に、第 2の作動板駆動ギア 65と同軸上の間欠駆動ギア 71は、回転規制部 71b 力 Sタイミングギア 72の小ギア 72aの回転規制凹部 72bに入って、タイミングギア 72の 回転が規制され、間欠駆動ギア 71のギア部 71aがタイミングギア 72の小ギア 72aとか み合わなレ、ため、ねじりアーム 70は回転駆動されな!/、。  Further, the intermittent drive gear 71 coaxial with the second operating plate drive gear 65 enters the rotation restricting portion 71b force S, the small gear 72a of the timing gear 72, the rotation restricting recess 72b of the timing gear 72, and the rotation of the timing gear 72 Since the gear portion 71a of the intermittent drive gear 71 is engaged with the small gear 72a of the timing gear 72, the torsion arm 70 is not driven to rotate! /.
[0128] 図 27は、結束具 13を搬送する工程における結束機 2Aを示す動作説明図である。  FIG. 27 is an operation explanatory view showing the binding machine 2A in the process of transporting the binding tool 13. As shown in FIG.
[0129] カールガイド 30が突き当てガイド 31に突き当たる位置まで第 1の作動板駆動ギア 3 4が回転すると、第 1の作動板 32の図示しないガイドローラ力 図 22Bから図 22Cに 示すようにカム溝 34aの第 2の作動停止部 34cにガイドされることで、第 1の作動板 32 のスライド移動が停止し、カールガイド 30は、突き当てガイド 31に突き当てられた位 置で保持される。  [0129] When the first actuating plate drive gear 34 rotates to the position where the curl guide 30 abuts against the abutting guide 31, the guide roller force (not shown) of the first actuating plate 32 is cam as shown in Figs. 22B to 22C. By being guided by the second operation stop portion 34c of the groove 34a, the sliding movement of the first operation plate 32 is stopped, and the curl guide 30 is held at the position where it abuts against the abutment guide 31. .
[0130] この状態から、第 1の作動板駆動ギア 34が矢印 R1方向に更に回転駆動されると、 同軸上の間欠駆動ギア 56のギア部 56aが、図 21Cに示すように、回転規制部 56bが 回転規制凹部 57aに入り回転位置が規制されていたタイミングギア 57にかみ合い、 回転規制部 56bが回転規制凹部 57aから外れる。 [0130] From this state, when the first working plate drive gear 34 is further rotated in the direction of the arrow R1, As shown in FIG. 21C, the gear portion 56a of the intermittent drive gear 56 on the same axis meshes with the timing gear 57 where the rotation restricting portion 56b enters the rotation restricting recess 57a and the rotation position is restricted, and the rotation restricting portion 56b rotates. Detach from the restriction recess 57a.
[0131] これにより、間欠駆動ギア 56の回転によりタイミングギア 57が回転して、送りローラ 5 0が矢印 W1方向に回転し、結束具 13が搬送される。結束具 13が搬送されると、カー ルガイド 30により結束具 13の搬送経路が形成されていることで、タグ 1Aの 2箇所の 係止孔 11mに結束具 13が通される。  As a result, the timing gear 57 rotates due to the rotation of the intermittent drive gear 56, the feed roller 50 rotates in the direction of the arrow W1, and the binding tool 13 is conveyed. When the binding tool 13 is transported, the transport path of the binding tool 13 is formed by the curl guide 30, so that the binding tool 13 is passed through the two locking holes 11 m of the tag 1A.
[0132] さて、送りローラ 50が回転駆動される工程では、第 2の作動板駆動ギア 65は回転し ているが、第 2の作動板 64の図示しないガイドローラ力 図 22Bから図 22Cに示すよ うにカム溝 65aの第 1の作動停止部 65bにガイドされることで、第 2の作動板 64はスラ イド移動しない。また、第 2の作動板駆動ギア 65と同軸上の間欠駆動ギア 71がタイミ ングギア 72の小ギア 72aとかみ合わないため、ねじりアーム 70は回転駆動されない。  Now, in the process in which the feed roller 50 is rotationally driven, the second operating plate drive gear 65 is rotating, but the guide roller force (not shown) of the second operating plate 64 is shown in FIGS. 22B to 22C. Thus, the second operating plate 64 does not slide as a result of being guided by the first operation stop portion 65b of the cam groove 65a. Further, since the intermittent drive gear 71 coaxial with the second operation plate drive gear 65 does not mesh with the small gear 72a of the timing gear 72, the torsion arm 70 is not driven to rotate.
[0133] 図 28は、結束具 13を切断する工程における結束機 2Aを示す動作説明図、図 29 は、結束具 13を成形する工程における結束機 2Aを示す動作説明図である。  FIG. 28 is an operation explanatory view showing the binding machine 2A in the process of cutting the binding tool 13, and FIG. 29 is an operation explanatory view showing the binding machine 2A in the process of forming the binding tool 13.
[0134] 結束具 13を所定の位置に搬送するまで間欠駆動ギア 56が回転駆動されると、間 欠駆動ギア 56のギア部 56aがタイミングギア 57から離れ、図 21Bに示すように回転 規制部 56bが回転規制凹部 57aに入ってタイミングギア 57の回転が規制されて、結 束具 13の搬送が停止する。  [0134] When the intermittent drive gear 56 is rotationally driven until the binding tool 13 is conveyed to a predetermined position, the gear portion 56a of the intermittent drive gear 56 is separated from the timing gear 57, and as shown in FIG. 56b enters the rotation restricting recess 57a, the rotation of the timing gear 57 is restricted, and the conveyance of the binding tool 13 stops.
[0135] 間欠駆動ギア 56のギア部 56aがタイミングギア 57から離れた状態から、第 2の作動 板駆動ギア 65が矢印 R2方向に更に回転駆動されると、第 2の作動板 64の図示しな いガイドローラ力 図 22Cから図 23Aに示すようにカム溝 65aの一方の作動部 65dに ガイドされることで、第 2の作動板 64が原点位置 H2から矢印 F3方向にスライド移動 する。これにより、第 1のリンク 61が連結されるリンク中心 64aが第 2の作動板 64と共 にスライド移動して、 1対の寄せアーム 60が軸 60aを支点に矢印 W2方向に回転駆 動されて、結束具成形爪部 60cが閉じる。  [0135] When the second actuating plate drive gear 65 is further rotated in the direction of the arrow R2 from the state where the gear portion 56a of the intermittent drive gear 56 is separated from the timing gear 57, the second actuating plate 64 is illustrated. No guide roller force As shown in FIGS. 22C to 23A, the second operating plate 64 slides from the home position H2 in the direction of arrow F3 by being guided by one operating portion 65d of the cam groove 65a. As a result, the link center 64a to which the first link 61 is coupled slides together with the second actuating plate 64, and the pair of shifting arms 60 are driven to rotate in the direction of arrow W2 about the shaft 60a as a fulcrum. Thus, the binding tool forming claw portion 60c is closed.
[0136] 寄せアーム 60を閉じる動作で、まず、図 17B及び図 28に示すように、第 2のリンク 6 3のカム面 63aでローラ 62aが押され、ガイド部材 53による結束具 13の搬送経路を塞 ぐ方向にスプリング 62bに抗してカッター 62が移動して、結束具 13が所定の位置で 切断される。 [0136] In the operation of closing the shifting arm 60, first, as shown in FIGS. 17B and 28, the roller 62a is pushed by the cam surface 63a of the second link 63, and the conveying path of the binding tool 13 by the guide member 53 The cutter 62 moves against the spring 62b in the direction to close the cable, and the tying member 13 is Disconnected.
[0137] 図 29に示すように、更に寄せアーム 60が閉じると、所定の長さに切断された結束 具 13の両端が、ねじりアーム 70に寄せられる形状に成形される。  As shown in FIG. 29, when the approach arm 60 is further closed, both ends of the binding tool 13 cut to a predetermined length are formed into a shape that can be brought closer to the torsion arm 70.
[0138] さて、寄せアーム 60が回転駆動される工程では、第 1の作動板駆動ギア 34は回転 しているが、第 1の作動板 32の図示しないガイドローラ力 S、図 22Cから図 23Aに示す ようにカム溝 34aの第 2の作動停止部 34cにガイドされることで、第 1の作動板 32はス ライド移動せず、カールガイド 30は、突き当てガイド 31に突き当てられた位置で保持 される。また、第 2の作動板駆動ギア 65と同軸上の間欠駆動ギア 71のギア部 71aが タイミングギア 72の小ギア 72aとかみ合わないため、ねじりアーム 70は回転駆動され ない。  [0138] Now, in the process in which the moving arm 60 is rotationally driven, the first operating plate drive gear 34 is rotating, but the guide roller force S (not shown) of the first operating plate 32, FIGS. 22C to 23A. As shown in FIG. 4, the first operation plate 32 does not slide and is guided by the second operation stop portion 34c of the cam groove 34a, and the curl guide 30 is a position where it abuts against the abutment guide 31. Held by. Further, since the gear portion 71a of the intermittent drive gear 71 coaxial with the second operation plate drive gear 65 does not mesh with the small gear 72a of the timing gear 72, the torsion arm 70 is not driven to rotate.
[0139] 図 30は、結束具 13を締結する工程における結束機 2Aを示す動作説明図である。  FIG. 30 is an operation explanatory view showing the binding machine 2A in the process of fastening the binding tool 13. As shown in FIG.
[0140] 1対の寄せアーム 60が閉じる位置まで第 2の作動板駆動ギア 65が回転すると、第 2 の作動板 64の図示しないガイドローラ力 図 23Aから図 23Bに示すようにカム溝 65a の第 2の作動停止部 65cにガイドされることで、第 2の作動板 64のスライド移動が停 止し、寄せアーム 60は、結束具 13の両端をねじりアーム 70に寄せた位置で保持さ れる。 [0140] When the second actuating plate drive gear 65 rotates to the position where the pair of shifting arms 60 are closed, the guide roller force (not shown) of the second actuating plate 64 is changed in the cam groove 65a as shown in Figs. 23A to 23B. By being guided by the second operation stop portion 65c, the sliding movement of the second operation plate 64 is stopped, and the shift arm 60 is held at a position where both ends of the binding tool 13 are moved toward the torsion arm 70. .
[0141] この状態から、更に第 2の作動板駆動ギア 65が矢印 R2方向に回転駆動されると、 同軸上の間欠駆動ギア 71のギア部 71aが、回転規制部 71bが回転規制凹部 72bに 入り回転位置が規制されていたタイミングギア 72の小ギア 72aにかみ合い、回転規 制部 71bが回転規制凹部 72bから外れる。  [0141] From this state, when the second actuating plate drive gear 65 is further rotated in the direction of arrow R2, the gear portion 71a of the coaxial intermittent drive gear 71 is turned into the rotation restricting portion 71b into the rotation restricting recess 72b. The rotation restricting portion 71b is disengaged from the rotation restricting recess 72b by engaging with the small gear 72a of the timing gear 72 where the entering rotation position is restricted.
[0142] これにより、間欠駆動ギア 71の回転によりタイミングギア 72及び 1対のベベルギア 7 3が矢印方向に回転して、ねじりアーム 70が矢印 W3方向に回転駆動され、結束具 1 3の両端が捩られて、結束具 13が締結される。  [0142] As a result, the rotation of the intermittent drive gear 71 causes the timing gear 72 and the pair of bevel gears 7 3 to rotate in the direction of the arrow, and the torsion arm 70 is rotationally driven in the direction of the arrow W3. The binding tool 13 is fastened by being twisted.
[0143] さて、ねじりアーム 70が回転駆動される工程では、第 1の作動板駆動ギア 34は回 転しているが、カム溝 34aの形状によって第 1の作動板 32はスライド移動せず、カー ノレガイド 30は、突き当てガイド 31に突き当てられた位置で保持される。  [0143] Now, in the process in which the torsion arm 70 is driven to rotate, the first operating plate drive gear 34 rotates, but the first operating plate 32 does not slide due to the shape of the cam groove 34a. The corner guide 30 is held at a position where it abuts against the abutment guide 31.
[0144] 図 31は、各部を原点復帰させて結束が終了した袋を解放する工程における結束 機を示す動作説明図である。 [0145] 結束具 13の両端を所定回数捩って締結するまで間欠駆動ギア 71が回転駆動され ると、間欠駆動ギア 71のギア部 71aがタイミングギア 72の小ギア 72aから離れ、回転 規制部 71bが回転規制凹部 72bに入ってタイミングギア 72の回転が規制されて、ね じりアーム 70回転が停止する。 FIG. 31 is an operation explanatory view showing the binding machine in the step of releasing the bags after the binding is completed by returning the respective parts to the origin. [0145] When the intermittent drive gear 71 is rotationally driven until both ends of the tying member 13 are twisted and tightened a predetermined number of times, the gear portion 71a of the intermittent drive gear 71 is separated from the small gear 72a of the timing gear 72, and the rotation restricting portion. 71b enters the rotation restricting recess 72b, the rotation of the timing gear 72 is restricted, and the twisting arm 70 stops rotating.
[0146] 間欠駆動ギア 71のギア部 71aがタイミングギア 72の小ギア 72aから離れた状態から 、第 2の作動板駆動ギア 65が矢印 R2方向に更に回転駆動されると、第 2の作動板 6 4の図示しないガイドローラが、図 23Bから図 23Cに示すようにカム溝 65aの他方の 作動部 65dにガイドされることで、第 2の作動板 64が矢印 F4方向にスライド移動して 原点位置 H2に復帰する。これにより、第 1のリンク 61が連結されるリンク中心 64aが 第 2の作動板 64と共にスライド移動して、 1対の寄せアーム 60が軸 60aを支点に矢 印 W4方向に回転駆動されて原点復帰し、結束具成形爪部 60cが開く。  [0146] From the state where the gear portion 71a of the intermittent drive gear 71 is separated from the small gear 72a of the timing gear 72, when the second operation plate drive gear 65 is further rotated in the direction of the arrow R2, the second operation plate 6 The guide roller (not shown) of 4 is guided by the other operating portion 65d of the cam groove 65a as shown in FIGS. 23B to 23C, so that the second operating plate 64 slides in the direction of the arrow F4 to return to the origin. Return to position H2. As a result, the link center 64a to which the first link 61 is coupled slides together with the second operating plate 64, and the pair of the arm 60 is driven to rotate in the direction indicated by the arrow W4 with the shaft 60a as a fulcrum. The binding tool forming claw 60c opens.
[0147] また、間欠駆動ギア 71のギア部 71aがタイミングギア 72の小ギア 72aから離れた状 態から、第 1の作動板駆動ギア 34が矢印 R1方向に更に回転駆動されると、第 1の作 動板 32の図示しないガイドローラ力 図 23Bから図 23Cに示すようにカム溝 34aの他 方の作動部 34dにガイドされることで、第 1の作動板 32が矢印 F5方向にスライド移動 して原点位置 HIに復帰する。これにより、カールガイド 30が矢印 F6方向に移動して 、突き当てガイド 31から離れる。  Further, when the first operating plate drive gear 34 is further rotated in the direction of the arrow R1 from the state where the gear portion 71a of the intermittent drive gear 71 is separated from the small gear 72a of the timing gear 72, the first Guide roller force (not shown) of the actuating plate 32 As shown in Figs.23B to 23C, the first actuating plate 32 slides in the direction of arrow F5 by being guided by the other actuating portion 34d of the cam groove 34a. Return to the origin position HI. As a result, the curl guide 30 moves in the direction of arrow F6 and moves away from the abutment guide 31.
[0148] カールガイド 30が突き当てガイド 31から離れると、タグ 1Aは、結束具 13で袋 14に 取り付けられているので、カールガイド 30の動作に追従しない。これにより、図 13Bに 示すように、カールガイド 30の結束具通路 30cから結束具 13を抜き取る方向に力が 加わり、結束具 13は、被覆材 13bが変形して結束具取り出しスリット 30dを通り、結束 具経路 30cから抜ける。  [0148] When the curl guide 30 is separated from the abutment guide 31, the tag 1A is not attached to the bag 14 with the tying member 13 and therefore does not follow the operation of the curl guide 30. As a result, as shown in FIG. 13B, a force is applied in the direction of pulling out the binding tool 13 from the binding tool passage 30c of the curl guide 30, and the binding tool 13 is deformed by the covering material 13b and passes through the binding tool take-out slit 30d. Exit from tying path 30c.
[0149] よって、タグ 1Aがカールガイド 30から外れ、結束具 13で袋 14を結束することで、図  [0149] Thus, the tag 1A is detached from the curl guide 30, and the bag 14 is bound by the binding tool 13, thereby
6Aに示すように、タグ 1Aが袋 14に取り付けられる。  Tag 1A is attached to bag 14 as shown in 6A.
[0150] また、カールガイド 30が矢印 F6方向に移動すると、図 16Dに示すように、ローラホ ルダ 44のガイドローラ 44a力 カールガイド誘導部 45cから回転誘導部 45aに入る。 [0150] When the curl guide 30 moves in the direction of arrow F6, as shown in FIG. 16D, the guide roller 44a force of the roller holder 44 enters the rotation guide part 45a from the curl guide guide part 45c.
[0151] 更にカールガイド 30が矢印 F6方向に移動すると、ローラホルダ 44のガイドローラ 4[0151] When the curl guide 30 further moves in the direction of arrow F6, the guide roller 4 of the roller holder 44
4aが、回転誘導部 45aの形状によってタグガイド 43を押し下げ、図 16Cに示すように 、図示しないパネに杭してタグガイド 43を軸 43aを支点に矢印 K2方向に回転させる 4a pushes down the tag guide 43 due to the shape of the rotation guide 45a, as shown in Figure 16C Pile it on a panel (not shown) and rotate the tag guide 43 in the direction of the arrow K2 with the shaft 43a as the fulcrum.
[0152] そして、タグガイド 43が回転して、図 16Bに示すように、ローラホルダ 44のガイド口 ーラ 44aが、回転誘導部 45aから回転規制部 45bに入ると、更にカールガイド 30が 矢印 F6方向に移動することで、図 16Aに示すように、ガイドローラ 44aが回転規制部 45bに入り、タグガイド 43の回転が規制される。 [0152] When the tag guide 43 rotates and the guide roller 44a of the roller holder 44 enters the rotation restricting portion 45b from the rotation guiding portion 45a as shown in FIG. 16B, the curl guide 30 is further moved to an arrow. By moving in the F6 direction, as shown in FIG. 16A, the guide roller 44a enters the rotation restricting portion 45b, and the rotation of the tag guide 43 is restricted.
[0153] ここで、結束具 13の結束動作を終了し、袋 14が装着空間部 31cから取り外されると 、図 3に示すタグ搬送機構 4Aにより、 1枚のタグ 1Aをタグホルダ機構 3Aのカールガ イド 30に搬送する。  Here, when the binding operation of the binding tool 13 is finished and the bag 14 is removed from the mounting space 31c, the tag carrying mechanism 4A shown in FIG. 3 is used to attach one tag 1A to the curl guide of the tag holder mechanism 3A. Transport to 30.
[0154] タグガイド 43にガイドされてカールガイド 30に搬送されたタグ 1Aは、図 24Bに示す ように、凹部 12mがカールガイド 30のタグ掛け爪部 30bに位置合わせされ、タグ掛け 爪部 30bの手前で待機する。  [0154] As shown in FIG. 24B, the tag 1A guided by the tag guide 43 and conveyed to the curl guide 30 has the recess 12m aligned with the tag hooking claw 30b of the curl guide 30, and the tag hooking claw 30b. Wait in front of you.
[0155] 以上の動作を行うことで、次の袋 14が装着空間部 31cにセットされ、結束動作を開 始する際には、タグ 1Aはカールガイド 30に搬送済みであり、タグ 1Aを搬送する動作 が不要となるので、処理時間を短縮することが可能となる。なお、タグ 1Aの搬送は、 袋 14がセットされた後に行っても良い。 [0155] By performing the above operation, when the next bag 14 is set in the mounting space 31c and the binding operation is started, the tag 1A has already been transported to the curl guide 30 and the tag 1A is transported. Therefore, the processing time can be shortened. The tag 1A may be transported after the bag 14 is set.
[0156] 上述した結束動作で取り付けられたタグ 1Aは、図 6Aに示すように、 1本の結束具 1As shown in FIG. 6A, the tag 1A attached by the above-described bundling operation has one bundling tool 1
3が 2箇所の係止孔 11mに通される。タグ 1Aの係止孔 11mに通された結束具 13は3 is passed through two locking holes 11m. The binding tool 13 passed through the locking hole 11m of the tag 1A
、袋 14の口に近い所定の部分を絞るようにした結束部 14aに巻かれ、両端を捩って 締結することで、袋 14の結束部 14aを結束する。 The bundled portion 14a of the bag 14 is bundled by being wound around the bundled portion 14a so that a predetermined portion close to the mouth of the bag 14 is squeezed and twisted at both ends.
[0157] タグ 1Aは、係止孔 11mに結束具 13が通されていることで、結束具 13で袋 14の結 束部 14aを結束すると、装着部 11Aの係止孔 11mの間の部分が結束具 13と袋 14と の間に挟まれて、袋 14に取り付けられる。 [0157] The tag 1A has a portion between the locking holes 11m of the mounting portion 11A when the binding portion 13 is passed through the locking hole 11m and the binding portion 14a of the bag 14 is bound by the binding device 13. Is sandwiched between the binding tool 13 and the bag 14 and attached to the bag 14.
[0158] タグ 1Aは、 2箇所の係止孔 11mに結束具 13が通されることで、結束具 13で袋 14 の結束部 14aを結束すると、情報提示部 10Aの向きが袋 14に沿った縦向きとなり、 横向きになることがない。 [0158] In the tag 1A, when the binding tool 13 is passed through the two locking holes 11m, and the binding part 14a of the bag 14 is bound by the binding tool 13, the direction of the information presentation part 10A is along the bag 14 It will be in portrait orientation and will not be in landscape orientation.
[0159] また、タグ 1Aは、結束具 13が袋 14を絞るようにした結束部 14aに巻かれるため、装 着部 11Aが湾曲する。但し、装着部 11Aと情報提示部 10Aとの間は、情報提示部 1 OAの両側辺に凹部 12mが形成されて、情報提示部 10Aより狭い幅の連結部 12A で連結されているので、情報提示部 10Aは装着部 11Aの形状に倣わず、情報提示 部 1 OAが大きく湾曲することない。これにより、タグ 1 Aの情報提示部 1 OAに記載され てレ、る情報が、湾曲して認識しに《なることがなレ、。 [0159] Further, since the tag 1A is wound around the binding portion 14a in which the binding tool 13 squeezes the bag 14, the mounting portion 11A is curved. However, between the mounting part 11A and the information presentation part 10A, the information presentation part 1 Concave portions 12m are formed on both sides of the OA and are connected by a connecting portion 12A having a width narrower than that of the information presenting portion 10A. Will not be greatly curved. As a result, the information presented in the information presenting section 1 OA of the tag 1 A cannot be recognized by being curved.
[0160] そして、情報提示部 10Aが湾曲することなく袋 14に沿った縦向きとなることから、タ グ 1Aを袋 14に装着した姿の外観が良好となる。  [0160] Since the information presentation unit 10A is oriented vertically along the bag 14 without being curved, the appearance of the tag 1A attached to the bag 14 is improved.
[0161] 更に、タグ 1Aを保持するカールガイド 30のタグ湾曲突起 30aが凸状に湾曲してい ることで、タグ湾曲突起 30aの 2点を結ぶ結束具通路 30cは直線に近い形状で緩や かに湾曲して、タグ湾曲突起 30aとの距離が近づくようにしている。  [0161] Further, since the tag curved protrusion 30a of the curl guide 30 holding the tag 1A is curved in a convex shape, the tying member passage 30c that connects the two points of the tag curved protrusion 30a has a shape close to a straight line and is loose. It is bent so that the distance from the tag bending protrusion 30a becomes closer.
[0162] すなわち、タグを直線状に保持して、 2箇所の係止孔に結束具を通す構成を考える と、タグの一方の係止孔に結束具を略垂直方向から通し、その後結束具を U字形状 に折り返して他方の係止孔に通す経路とする必要があるため、結束具の必要長が長 くなる。これにより、袋の周囲を巻き回して結束具を捩った場合、結束具とタグの間に 隙間が生じ、十分に締め付けられなくなる。  That is, considering a configuration in which the tag is held in a straight line and the binding tool is passed through the two locking holes, the binding tool is passed from one of the tag's locking holes in a substantially vertical direction, and then the binding tool. Folds into a U-shape and passes through the other locking hole, which increases the required length of the tying tool. As a result, when the binding tool is twisted by winding it around the bag, a gap is generated between the binding tool and the tag, and it cannot be tightened sufficiently.
[0163] これに対して、タグ 1Aを保持するカールガイド 30のタグ湾曲突起 30aを凸状に湾 曲させることで、結束具通路 30cを直線に近い形状で緩やかに湾曲させることができ る。これにより、結束具通路 30cを通る結束具 13と、タグ湾曲突起 30aで保持されるタ グ 1 Aとの距離を近づけて、タグ 1 Aと結束具 13との隙間が大きく開くことを防止し、結 束具 13を確実に締結することができる。  [0163] On the other hand, by bending the tag bending protrusion 30a of the curl guide 30 holding the tag 1A in a convex shape, the tying member passage 30c can be gently bent in a shape close to a straight line. As a result, the distance between the binding tool 13 passing through the binding tool passage 30c and the tag 1A held by the tag bending protrusion 30a is reduced, and the gap between the tag 1A and the binding tool 13 is prevented from being greatly opened. Thus, the binding tool 13 can be securely fastened.
[0164] 第 2の実施の形態のタグ 1Bの場合も同様で、タグ 1Bは、図 6Bに示すように、 1本の 結束具 13が 2箇所の係止溝 1 Inに通される。タグ 1Bの係止溝 1 Inに通された結束 具 13は、袋 14の口に近い所定の部分を絞るようにした結束部 14aに巻かれ、両端を 捩って締結することで、袋 14の結束部 14aを結束する。  The same applies to the tag 1B of the second embodiment. In the tag 1B, as shown in FIG. 6B, one binding tool 13 is passed through two locking grooves 1In. The binding tool 13 passed through the locking groove 1 In of the tag 1B is wound around a binding part 14a that squeezes a predetermined part close to the mouth of the bag 14, and is twisted at both ends to fasten the bag 14 Tighten the bundling part 14a.
[0165] タグ 1Bは、係止溝 1 Inに結束具 13が通されていることで、結束具 13で袋 14の結 束部 14aを結束すると、装着部 11Bの係止溝 1 Inの間の部分が結束具 13と袋 14と の間に挟まれて、袋 14に取り付けられる。  [0165] Since the binding tool 13 is passed through the locking groove 1 In, the tag 1B has a space between the locking groove 1 In of the mounting part 11B when the binding part 14a of the bag 14 is bound by the binding tool 13. Is sandwiched between the binding tool 13 and the bag 14 and attached to the bag 14.
[0166] タグ 1Bは、タグ 1Aと同様に、 2箇所の係止溝 1 Inに結束具 13が通されることで、結 束具 13で袋 14の結束部 14aを結束すると、情報提示部 10Bの向きが袋 14に沿った 縦向きとなり、横向きになることがない。 [0166] The tag 1B, like the tag 1A, passes the binding tool 13 through the two locking grooves 1 In, and the binding part 13a of the bag 14 is bound by the binding tool 13, so that the information presentation part 10B direction along bag 14 It will be in portrait orientation and will not be in landscape orientation.
[0167] また、タグ 1Bは、結束具 13が袋 14を絞るようにした結束部 14aに巻かれるため、装 着部 11Bは湾曲する。但し、装着部 11Bと情報提示部 10Bの間は、情報提示部 10 Bの両側辺に凹部 12mが形成されて、情報提示部 10Bより狭い幅の連結部 12Bで 連結されているので、情報提示部 10Bは装着部 11Bの形状に倣わず、情報提示部 1 OBが大きく湾曲することない。これにより、タグ 1Bの情報提示部 10Bに記載されてい る情報が、湾曲して認識しにくくなることがない。  [0167] Further, since the tag 1B is wound around the binding portion 14a in which the binding tool 13 squeezes the bag 14, the mounting portion 11B is curved. However, since the recessed portion 12m is formed on both sides of the information presentation unit 10B between the mounting unit 11B and the information presentation unit 10B, and the connection unit 12B is narrower than the information presentation unit 10B. The part 10B does not follow the shape of the mounting part 11B, and the information presentation part 1OB is not greatly curved. As a result, the information described in the information presentation unit 10B of the tag 1B does not become curved and difficult to recognize.
[0168] そして、情報提示部 10Bが湾曲することなく袋 14に沿った縦向きとなることから、タ グ 1Bを袋 14に装着した姿の外観が良好となる。  [0168] Then, since the information presentation unit 10B is oriented vertically along the bag 14 without being curved, the appearance of the tag 1B attached to the bag 14 is improved.
[0169] ここで、タグ 1Bは、開口した係止溝 1 Inに結束具 13が通される力 結束具 13で袋 14を結束した状態では、結束具 13に溝が嵌ることで係止され、タグ 1Bが袋 14から 容易に外れることはない。一方、袋 14を結束していた結束具 13を緩めると、タグ 1B を結束具 13から容易に取り外すことができるので、結束具 13を外すことなぐ不用に なったタグ 1Bを容易に除去することができる。  [0169] Here, the tag 1B is locked by fitting the groove into the binding tool 13 in a state where the bag 14 is bound by the binding tool 13 when the binding tool 13 is passed through the opened locking groove 1 In. The tag 1B does not come off the bag 14 easily. On the other hand, if the tying tool 13 that tied the bag 14 is loosened, the tag 1B can be easily removed from the tying tool 13, so the unnecessary tag 1B can be easily removed without removing the tying tool 13. Can do.
[0170] 図 32は、本実施の形態の結束機の変形例を示す斜視図である。変形例の結束機 2Bは、タグホルダ機構 3Bと結束具成形機構 6Bを駆動する寄せモータ 81と、結束具 締結機構 7Bを駆動するねじりモータ 82と、結束具搬送機構 5Bを駆動する図示しな V、送りモータを備え、 3モータで結束具の結束動作を行う。  FIG. 32 is a perspective view showing a modified example of the binding machine of the present embodiment. The binding machine 2B of the modified example includes a squeeze motor 81 for driving the tag holder mechanism 3B and the binding tool forming mechanism 6B, a torsion motor 82 for driving the binding tool fastening mechanism 7B, and a driving tool for driving the binding tool transport mechanism 5B. A feed motor is provided, and the binding tool is bundled with 3 motors.
[0171] 寄せモータ 81は、ボールネジ軸 83を回転駆動して、軸受部 84をスライド移動させ る。軸受部 84は、カールガイド 30を移動させる第 1の作動板 32を押すロック爪部 84a と、寄せアーム 60を回転させる第 2のリンク 63の寄せローラ 63bを押す寄せローラ押 し部 84bを備える。  [0171] The closing motor 81 rotates the ball screw shaft 83 to slide the bearing portion 84. The bearing portion 84 includes a lock claw portion 84a that presses the first operating plate 32 that moves the curl guide 30, and a moving roller pressing portion 84b that presses the moving roller 63b of the second link 63 that rotates the moving arm 60. .
[0172] ロック爪部 84aは、第 1の作動板 32に係止して、寄せモータ 81が回転駆動されるこ とで、軸受部 84がスライド移動すると、第 1の作動板 32をスライド移動させる。また、力 一ルガイド 30が突き当てガイド 31に突き当てられる位置まで軸受部 84が移動すると 、第 1の作動板 32との係止が外れ、軸受部 84がスライド移動しても、第 1の作動板 32 への駆動力を伝達しなレ、構成となってレ、る。  [0172] The lock claw portion 84a is engaged with the first operating plate 32, and the driving motor 81 is driven to rotate, so that when the bearing portion 84 slides, the first operating plate 32 slides.
