ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for closing wire binding elements of the type formed from a length of wire which is bent to form a series of curved hairpin shaped prongs, the curvature of the prongs being such that the element has the appearance of an open sided cylinder with a substantially C-shaped cross section, the apparatus comprises two opposed `closing` jaws, each having a working surface which is a segment of a cylinder, the diameter of which corresponds to the diameter of a desired binding element, when closed, the jaws being arranged to rotate in opposite directions about a fixed horizontal axis or pivot center, the arrangement being such that as the jaws pivot a force is applied by their working surfaces to a binding element located therebetween to cause the element to close to a position in which the closed ends or points are brought into the vicinity of the open ends or roots, the closing jaws being set so that that edge of the working surface which, in use, is located adjacent a bundle of sheets to be bound exactly coincides with the pivot center of each jaw characterized in that means are provided to adjust the position of the pivot centers of each of the jaws towards and away from each other so that closing jaws of different size may be accommodated.
