Abstract: An apparatus for applying a banderole around one or a plurality of products creating an electrostatic attraction between the band material being supplied and the conveyor unit. The conveyor unit is connected to earth potential, and electrodes are positioned in the vicinity of the trajectory to be followed by the band material.

Abstract: An apparatus for metering a foil web (5) extending vertically downwards through the path of movement (1) of objects (2) to be wrapped thereby the free cutting tool being arranged above said path (1) allowing to cut off the metered web (5"). Between the supply roll (4) and the cutting tool (10), a metering roller pair (7) is arranged, is coupled with a drive means (8) adapted to be adjusted to a desired web length (5"), and beyond said cutting tool (10), a gripping assembly (11 . . . 16) for the free end of the foil web (5') supplied by the metering roller pair (7) is arranged which is movable vertically downwards from a starting position with the supply speed of said web, and is adapted to grip the free end of said web (5") with some friction, said friction being so that, when interrupting the supply by the metering roller pair (7), this end is released, the length of the path of movement of said gripping assembly (11 . . .

Abstract: A device for applying a wrapping tape (14) around an object (2), comprising a substantially closed trough (6) surrounding a support (1) for the object (2) to be wrapped, said trough (6) being adapted for guiding the tape (14) to be wrapped which is driven through said trough (6) by means of an air flow, clamping means (9) for temporarily retaining the free tape end (21), said trough (6) being adapted to be opened thereafter for releasing said tape (14), means (26; 25; 30) for tightening said tape (14) around said object (2) and returning it towards a buffer storage (19), means (19; 24) for attaching said tape end (21) to the opposite tape part and cutting loose the latter, means (22; 26) for refilling said storage (19) to the maximally required tape length, and control means for controlling said sequence of operations.
