An apparatus for binding pads of perforated sheets with wire binding elements comprises means for supplying a binding strip to a cutting station, cutting means at the cutting station to sever a predetermined length of the binding strip and form a binding element, means for conveying the binding element to an insertion station where the binding element is inserted through the perforations of a pad of perforated sheets, means for conveying the pad with the inserted element to a binding station and a closing device at the binding station for closing the element and thereby binding the pad. The feed of the binding strip is from below and via a shaped feed wheel. The cutting means comprises a blade with an automatic centering feature. At the binding station, the pad is first clamped and then the element is pushed against the pad and closed. |
