Claim 2:
3. A binding machine comprising:
a wire feeder including a pair of rotatable members that rotate while holding a wire therebetween to feed the wire, the wire being wound around an object to be bound;
a binding part including a clamp and a rotating shaft, the clamp locking the wire wound around the object to be bound, and the rotating shaft rotating the clamp locking the wire;
a curl guide arranged along a looped path of the wire fed by the wire feeder; and
a draw-in guide configured to guide the wire curled by the curl guide to the binding part,
wherein the draw-in guide includes
a guiding facilitation part that comes into contact with the wire from a radially outer side of the loop that is formed by the wire curled by the curl guide, and applies, to the wire, a force that changes a feeding path of the wire,
a guiding concave portion, provided on a downstream side of the guiding facilitation part in a feeding direction of the wire, into which the wire, expanding toward the radially outer side of the loop, enters, and

wherein the guiding facilitation part includes a rotating member which the wire is able to contact with.
