Abstract
A reinforcement binding machine using a steel wire comprises a means for feeding the steel wire into a binding station for binding reinforcements together, a guide means provided with a guide path for guiding the steel wire fed into the binding station along a curve encircling the reinforcements and defining the binding station, a means for twisting the steel wire looped by the guide path and defining a slot through which the steel wire fed into the binding station is capable of passing, and a means for rotating the twisting means about the axis crossing the axis of the loop formed from the steel wire so as to twist the steel wire, the twisting means being provided with a pair of pins opposed to each other through the slot and adapted to be moved relatively in the axial direction with respect to the loop, and a means for normally biasing at least one of the pins toward the other one of the pins such that the end faces of the pins are abutted against each other within the binding station.
