Abstract: Apparatus for wrapping the end surface of a cylindrical object having an apparatus fixing frame placed on a base via an ultra low friction sliding mechanism, a back pressure P.sub.2 suitable for the kind of wrapping paper being imposed on the wrapping paper and the free end of the projecting portion of the wrapping paper being gripped at plural points in the circumferential direction so as to draw the frame toward the axial center of the cylindrical coil whereby the free end of the projecting portion of the wrapping paper is constrained by tension produced on the projecting wrapping paper throughout the folding operation with the result that regular pleats are formed to assure an attractive transport package.

Abstract: An arrangement for forming a box-shaped covering body using a single flat covering metal sheet by placing the covering sheet over the top surface of the article being covered; pressing the covering flat sheet immovably on the article or product being covered by means of holding members; bending the left and right side portions of the flat covering sheet downward by means of lateral-portion bending members, thereby forming lateral cover portions on the left and right side wall faces of the product being covered; folding the front and rear ends of the lateral cover portions toward the front and rear end faces of the product being covered by means of corner folding members, thereby forming front and rear corner folds at respective corners of the product being covered; bending down the front and rear end portions of the flat covering sheet by means of end-portion bending members, thereby forming front and rear end-face cover portions in conformity with the contours of the front and rear end wall faces of the prod

Abstract: A safe box-like structure of good appearance is formed in a simplified manner from a flat metal sheet by folding at right angles the opposite side portions of a flat rectangular metal sheet, for instance, of a steel sheet to provide a channel-shaped metal sheet, forming in each end portion of the upright side sections of the channel-shaped metal sheet a diagonal crease extending from an inner end of a prescribed vertical fold line disposed substantially perpendicular to the bottom section of the bottom section of the channel-shaped metal sheet to the outer corner point of the end portion of the side section, pressing a triangular intermediate section between the prescribed vertical fold line and the diagonal crease inwardly of the channel-shaped metal sheet, folding the triangular intermediate section and an outer triangular section toward each other along the afore-mentioned prescribed vertical fold line and diagonal crease, and upbending opposite end portions of the channel-shaped metal sheet at right angle
