Abstract
Disclosed in a tape winding mechanism for an apparatus for binding a bundle of stacked paper sheets such as paper money with a binding tape or strip. The apparatus comprises a rotatable ring-like flyer body provided with a first stationary guide roller and a second movable roller which is mounted on a flyer ring in such a manner that it can be brought into contact with the first guide roller, to thereby hold and guide a nipped tape end portion under the resilient force of a spring. The bundle of papers to be bound is disposed in an inner space of the flyer ring body. The binding tape is fed from a supply reel and the leading end portion is inserted into the paper stack which is then held in a compressed state. When the flyer body is rotated around the paper by a suitable drive means, the tape as held and guided by the first and second rollers is wound around the paper bundle in a desired number of turns. Thereafter the tape is cut and the cut end portion of the tape is bonded to the wound tape portion. Tape winding operations are controlled through lever systems and a control cam.
