1. A binding machine configured to bind an object to be bound by winding a binding material around the to-be-bound object and twisting the binding material, comprising:
a feeding device having an actuator configured to feed the binding material;
a movement passage through which the to-be-bound object to be moved to a binding executing position passes;
a sliding member configured to be moved from a premovement position where at least a part of the sliding member is disposed in the movement passage, by being pushed by the to-be-bound object when the to-be-bound object moves toward the binding executing position;
a winding member having a winding arm configured to wind the binding material fed to a given position by the feeding device around the to-be-bound object, by rotating while being transmitted power of the sliding member moved from the premovement position;
a twisting device configured to twist the binding material wound around the to-be-bound object by the winding member; and
an elastic deforming part configured to return the sliding member to the premovement position, and return the winding member to a prerotation position before the winding member rotates to wind the binding material, by a restoring force.
