Abstract: There is disclosed a compression bundling apparatus which can be used to compression pack or bundle such materials as waste paper, hair, cotton, plastics, crude rubber, city rubbish and the like. The apparatus can be used for lateral and vertical binding with polypropylene plastic bands. The apparatus has two main sections, the compression section and the bundling section. The two sections are connected by a guide space in which the compressed material is conveyed to the bundler where it is then bound by vertical and, if desired, lateral bands to form the bundle. There is means to discharge the banded bundle or to discharge the compressed bundle prior to banding. The vertical banding is accomplished by the cooperation of a plurality of band guides external to the compression chamber and movable into the bundling chamber which has a movable bundler for causing the bands to bind the compressed block into a bundle.

Abstract: A snap ring is attachable to and detachable from a bolt with ease, the snap ring having a twisted part that enables the snap ring to extend around portions of two adjacent convolutions of the thread, the snap ring also having a split to enable portions of the snap ring to pass from one convolution to an adjacent convolution over the crest of a thread to thereby prevent the nut from coming off the bolt.
