Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a mobile strapping device for strapping packaged products using a loop of wrapping strap. The strapping device includes a tensioning device for applying tension to the strap and a connecting device for connecting two overlapping portions of the strap. The tensioning device includes a rotatable tensioning wheel and a tensioning plate. The tensioning wheel is supported by a rocker that is pivotable to change a distance separating the tensioning wheel and the tensioning plate. The mobile strapping device includes a motor that is operably connectable to the rocker or the tensioning wheel such that the motor causes pivoting of the rocker or rotation of the tensioning wheel when operating in a first direction of rotation. In various embodiments, gearing, including a plurality of planetary gear sets, is used to operatively connect the motor to the rocker and the tensioning wheel.

Abstract: The invention relates to a strapping device, in particular a mobile strapping device, for strapping packaged products using a strap, said device having a tensioning device for applying tension to a loop of a strapping band and being provided with a tensioning gear that can be motor driven to rotate about a tensioning axis. The tensioning device also has a tensioning plate that co-operates with the tensioning gear and the tensioning gear and/or the tensioning plate is or are located on a rocker that can be motor-driven to pivot about a rocker access, in order to increase or decrease the distance between the tensioning gear and the tensioning plate by means of a pivoting motion of the rocker. An aim of the invention is to achieve a high functional reliability in a strapping device of this type.
