Claim 0:
1. A binding machine comprising:
a wire feeding unit that is capable of feeding a wire from a wire reel which has a tubular hub to wind a wire and which is rotatably supported on a main body of the binding machine; and
a curl arm that plastically deforms the wire fed out from the wire feeding unit to form a circle locus,
a curl guide that picks up the wire which is plastically deformed by the curl arm,
wherein the binding machine twists the wire to bind a binding object after winding the wire which is plastically deformed by the curl arm, around the binding object,
wherein a plane is located at a position offset with respect to a cross section, the plane is formed by the circle of the plastically deformed wire inside the curl arm and the cross section is formed by cutting through a center point of the hub in a direction substantially orthogonal to an axial center of the hub, and
wherein a wire passage provided at the curl guide is offset with respect to the plane in a direction opposite to an offset direction of the cross section, and
wherein the wire is a set of a plurality of wires and is fed out substantially concurrently.
