Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and device for dispensing thread. The thread dispensing device comprises a transport unit having at least a first and a second transport element for a defined transport of the thread, a drive unit for driving the first and second transport element and a shifting unit for reversibly shifting the first transport element relative to the second transport element. The present invention further relates to a clipping machine and a method for producing sausage-shaped products, wherein the clipping machine comprises the inventive device for dispensing thread.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a supply of labels for being attached to sausage-shaped products, like sausages. The supply comprises a carrier strip having a longitudinal extension, a flat front side, a flat rear side and two longitudinal edges, and at least one label having a longitudinal extension, a flat front side and a flat rear side and an attachment end for being attached to the sausage-shaped product, the at least one label is detachable attached to the carrier strip, wherein at least the attachment end of the at least one label exceeds one of the longitudinal edges of the carrier strip.

Abstract: A closure clip is provided for closing tubular or bag-shaped packaging for bulk produce such as fruit or vegetables. The closure clip includes a first arm and a second arm extending substantially in a plane and aligned at least approximately parallel to each other, with the arms each having first and second ends and a base portion extending in the center plane defined by the arms and having an inner and an outer surface, with the base portion connecting the first and second arms at their first ends and forming an approximately U-shaped closure clip. The closure clip further includes a first spike having a first end and a second end, extending from the inner surface of the base portion between the arms and parallel thereto, and connected with its first end to the base portion. The closure clip further has at least one second spike having first and second ends.

Abstract: The invention relates to a closure clip for closing tubular or bag-shaped packing casing for packing loosely goods or foodstuff. The closure clip includes two arms extending at least substantially in a plane and at least substantially parallel to each other, having first and second ends and inner and outer surfaces. The closure clip further includes a bottom portion arranged in the plane defined by the arms, having an inner and an outer surface and connecting the arms by their first ends, thereby forming a substantially U-shaped closure clip. The closure clip further includes at least one arbor having a first end and a second end that extends from the inner surface of the bottom portion, to which the arbor is coupled by its first end between the arms and parallel thereto. The closure clip further comprises a die for closing the closure clip. The closure clip further comprises two guide channels for guiding the second ends of the closure clip, which are separated from each other by a land.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a manually operable clipping machine for producing sausage-shaped products. The machine comprises a first displacer unit with a first pair of upper and lower displacer elements, at least the upper displacer element is reversibly movable in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal extending plait-axis between an opened and a closed position. The machine also comprises a second displacer unit with a second pair of upper and lower displacer elements, at least the upper displacer element is reversibly movable in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal extending plait-axis between an opened and a closed position. The second displacer unit is reversibly movable parallel to the longitudinal extending plait-axis between a narrow position where the second displacer unit is adjacent to the first displacer unit, and a spread position in which the second displacer unit is moved away from the first displacer unit.
