Abstract: A method and device for strapping one or more packets with a band, which device substantially comprises a frame, a lying conveyor belt supported by the frame for moving forward the packets, a pair of band clamping and guiding jaws movable toward and away from each other transversely of the conveyor belt, a supply reel associated with a jaw and guide members for the strapping band in addition to welding means co-acting with the jaws for welding together the band portions supplied by the pair of jaws, wherein means for arranging one or more label means at a time on the band are placed along the guide path of this band.

Abstract: A device for strapping a plurality of packets with a band includes a frame and a lying conveyor belt supported by the frame for moving the packets forward. A pair of band clamping and guiding jaws move toward and away from each other transversely of the belt. A band supply reel is associated with the jaws. A welding device coacts with the jaws for welding band portions together. Each jaw has a clamping surface that runs transversely relative to the forward direction and coacts with a counter-surface of an intermediate body carried by one of the jaws. A portion of the clamping surface and the counter-surface extend obliquely relative to the forward direction. One of the surfaces has tooth-like protrusions.

Abstract: A device is provided for applying a binding material around an object. The object is moved by a conveyor means into a length of binding material that extends across the conveyor path. The binding material is tensioned by a reciprocable tensioning means and the length of material fed to the conveyor path is determined by a brake means that halts the further supply of the binding material in response to a predetermined length of movement of the tensioning means.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for cutting through and removing a strapping element applied in a loop around an object or a stack of objects, in which a plate provided with one cutting member of a pair of shears and a pressure area is first moved parallel to the plane of the loop towards the object or the stack, thereupon moved perpendicularly to said loop until it attains a position between the object and the loop and thereafter moved away from the object to bring said cutting member into cooperation with the other cutting member for cutting through the loop and the pressure area into cooperation with a driven roller for gripping and removing the strapping element of the cut through loop.
