       10 . The binding piece connecting body according to  claim 9 , wherein the lubricant is coated on front portions of the pair of leg portions of the clip.  
   
   
       11 . The binding piece connecting body according to  claim 9 , wherein the lubricant is coated on a vicinity of an opening edge of the hole wall of the receiving member on a side of being fitted with the pair of leg portions.  
   
   
       12 . A binding apparatus for binding a bag opening portion of a bag, by a binding piece connecting body comprising a plurality of binding pieces, each of the binding pieces comprising a clip having a pair of leg portions and a receiving member having a pair of holes for pinching to bind the bag opening portion by the receiving member and the clip by press-fitting the pair of leg portions of the clip to the pair of holes of the receiving member, wherein in each of the binding pieces, the clip and the receiving member are connected and the plurality of binding pieces are connected, the binding apparatus comprising: 
 a binding portion;    a driver for cutting to separate a front one of the binding piece of the binding piece connecting body and cutting to separate the clip of the binding piece from the receiving member; and    a feeding mechanism for feeding the receiving member cut to be separated from the clip to the binding portion;    wherein after feeding the receiving member to the binding portion by the feeding mechanism, the driver feeds the clip to the binding portion, and the bag opening portion is bound by press-fitting the pair of leg portions of the clip to the pair of holes of the receiving member fed to the binding portion.    
   
   
       13 . The binding apparatus according to  claim 12 , wherein the feeding mechanism comprises a guide wind path for guiding the receiving member cut to be separated from the clip to the binding portion, and wind blowing means for feeding the receiving member to the binding portion by blowing air to the guide wind path.  
   
   
       14 . The binding apparatus according to  claim 13 , further comprising: 
 a guide groove provided at an inner side face of the guide wind path for guiding air blown from a blow out port of the wind blowing means along the guide wind path.    
   
   
       15 . The binding apparatus according to  claim 12 , wherein a wall at a portion at which a moving path for moving the clip to the binding portion and the guide wind path join is pivoted in a direction of expanding the guide wind path.  
   
   
       16 . The binding apparatus according to  claim 13 , further comprising:
