Abstract: A device for applying a tape around one or more objects, in which first a pe consisting of two tapes welded together is passed in U-shaped fashion around the object or objects, thereafter the two tape portions extending beyond the object or objects are moved towards one another by means of movable tape strainers; thereupon one tape portion is melted through, bent over and superficially melted by a heating element forming part of a tape bending-over member; then the other tape portion is melted through to form tape end portions and superficially melted by said heating element and finally the latter tape end portions are bent over and welded to the former tape end portions in pairs by a second tape bending-over member; the two bending-over members so co-operating as to make the two weld joints between the respective tape end portions to lie in the plane of tape of which they form part.

Abstract: A method of and a device for applying an enlacing tape around an object, in hich the tape is taken along its path around the object to be enlaced by an endless conveyor belt by its being held urged against said belt and at the same time is fed by a tape feeding device at the speed of the belt during the full period of its movement around the object.

Abstract: A method and a device for applying a tape around one or more objects, in which first a tape consisting of two interconnected tapes is passed in U-shaped fashion around the object or objects; thereafter the two tape portions extending beyond the object or objects are moved towards one another and pressed one against the other by means of movable tape strainers; thereupon the tape portions are cut in the contact area and finally the formed tape end portions are interconnected in pairs, in such a manner that the interconnected end portions in the plane of the tape of which they form part.
