Abstract: A strapping machine includes a driver, first and second power output units, and a switching unit. The first power output unit includes a first drive shaft being co-rotatable with a main shaft of the driver only when the main shaft rotates in a first rotational direction via a first one-way bearing for driving the switching unit, and for clamping, hot-melting and cutting a strap. The second power output unit includes a second drive shaft being co-rotatable with the main shaft only when the main shaft rotates in a second rotational direction via a second one-way bearing, and a plurality of output gear trains being engagable with the second drive shaft via the switching unit for feeding, retracting and tensioning the strap.

Abstract: A feeding device is adapted to be installed to a box folding machine for delivering a plurality of unfolded cardboard boxes, and includes a base unit, a positioning unit and a box pushing unit. The base unit is operable for moving the cardboard boxes to push two stopping members of the positioning unit to rotate from a stopping position, where the cardboard boxes are retained between upstream and downstream ends of the base unit, to a releasing position, where one of the cardboard boxes is moved out of the downstream end to a standby position. The box pushing unit is operable to push the one of the cardboard boxes from the standby position to a ready-to-fold position, where the one of the cardboard boxes is ready to be folded.

Abstract: A strap feeding device includes first driving and driven rollers, second driving and driven rollers, an actuating unit, and a detecting unit. The actuating unit can move the second driving roller between a released position, where the second driven roller is spaced apart from the second driving roller, and a contact, where the second driven roller contacts the second driving roller and is co-rotatable with the second driving roller to clamp and move a strap. The control device controls rotation of the first and second driving rollers to feed and return the strap, detects rotation of the first driven roller, and controls the actuating unit to move the second driven roller to the contact and released positions.
