TAPE BINDING APPARATUS OF PACKING MACHINE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a heating plate of a heater head to be safely projected into a predetermined position in a heating space. SOLUTION: In a tape binding apparatus of a packing machine, a tip side Ta of a tape T wound around a work W is pressed and tightened by a first grip head 11, a feed end side Tb is pressed by a second grip head 12, the heating plate 35 of the heater head is projected into the heating space 20 and heated therein to bond a tape lapping part by a press head 14, the feed end side is cut to achieve the tape-packing, a moving body to be horizontally moved in the advancing/retracting manner to/from the heating space 20, and a guide means to guide the moving body so that it is stored in a predetermined position in the heating space 20 in a final stage while the heating plate 35 of the heater head starts to be projected from the tape feed end of the heating space 20.
