  • Patent number: 10457429
    Abstract: A pair of jaws for a twist tying machine enables a user to tie products with a small outer diameter. The pair of jaws includes a fixed jaw that has a generally cylindrical housing attached to the twist tying machine and extending to a flat distal edge. A fixed jaw channel is formed within the fixed jaw and configured to accommodate a product tie from the twist tying machine. A movable jaw is rotatably attached to the twist tying machine and extends to a movable jaw distal end. A movable jaw channel is formed within the movable jaw and configured to accommodate the product tie from the fixed jaw channel. Closing the movable jaw against the fixed jaw enables the product tie to travel through the movable jaw around a product, and through the fixed jaw creating a tie around the product.
