Abstract
Disclosed is an apparatus for binding a stack of paper sheets such as paper money with a binding tape or band. The winding of the binder tape around the paper stack is effected after the leading end portion of the binder tape has been securely inserted into the paper stack. For inserting the leading end portion of the tape into the paper stack, a gap for receiving the tape leading end is formed by a divider or splitter means comprising a reciprocably movable plate formed with a knife edge which is movable toward the paper stack and which can penetrate into the stack, to thereby form the gap as the paper stack is fed toward a predetermined winding position, at which position the paper stack is supported on a stationary platform having an upper surface formed with an arcuate recess.
