摘要

A binding apparatus having a binding mechanism including a binding support for supporting a plastic type binding having a backbone with a plurality of curled fingers extending therefrom which fingers are uncurled during a binding operation characterized by a dispensing device for inserting a binding on the support after completion of the binding operation and prior to the next binding operation. The dispensing device includes a feed device having a plurality of rotating cam members which hold a binding above the support and cooperates with one or more guide vanes which hold the binding element in the correct orientation on the feed device which injects the binding element against the deflecting surface into the support with the fingers extending between the teeth thereof. The binding mechanism is preferably power actuated and has a control circuit with a manual position which requires actuation of various switches to accomplish a binding operation. The control circuit has an automatic position in which the initiation of the feed device delivers a binding to the support which is then opened in preparation for inserting perforated sheets on the binding. Preferably the dispensing device includes supplying binding elements stored on a releasable tape to a peeling device which peels the bindings above the rotating cams which peeled binding elements are guided by the guide vane to the cams sequentially.
