  • Patent number: 5992128
    Abstract: A system for girding an article, in particular the twisted end of a bag, with a closure including a strip of adhesive tape. The system comprises a girding device and a roll of adhesive tape having a core. The girding device comprises a housing including a slot which is adapted for receiving the article moving therethrough. The housing also is provided with a support post for rotatably supporting a roll of adhesive tape. A star wheel is mounted for rotation at one side of the slot and has radially extending spokes which extend over the slot and are separated by recesses suitable for accommodating a twisted end of the article as it is moved through the slot past the star wheel. The housing further includes an element which lies at an opposite side of the slot from that of the star wheel and thereat forms a wall part lying along the path of ends of the spokes of the star wheel.
