<p>A binding machine comprises a base provided with a support for an article to be bound and a tape binding table; a binding arm pivotable relative to the support for wrapping a first portion of a tape around the article and having at a tip portion thereof a tape binding device for supplying the tape through the tip portion and pressing a free end of the tape against another portion of the tape on the table. A tape support member is spaced from the table and a displaceable tape clamp is interposed between the table and the support member; a clamp control at the tip portion controlling and causing displacement of the clamp member to and from the support member. A cutting edge at the tip portion cuts the tape between the support member and the clamp. A tape escape member withdraws a thus-cut end of the tape and a tape pushing member presses onto the support member the end of the tape extending from the tip portion.</p> |
