Publication number: 20250236423Abstract: The present disclosure provides a strapping tool with a scaling assembly including a die assembly and a camshaft. The camshaft includes a cam that engages a cam follower of the die assembly. The cam is shaped so rotation of the camshaft during a scaling cycle causes the cam to force the die assembly to pivot from a home position to a sealing position to form interlocking cuts in overlapping strap portions. Continued rotation of the cam results in the die assembly pivoting back to its home position during an energy-release phase and a return phase of the sealing cycle. During the energy-release phase. the shape of the cam enables the die assembly to pivot a relatively small amount as potential energy is released. During the return phase after this energy is released. the shape of the cam enables the die assembly to pivot a relatively large amount.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2023Publication date: July 24, 2025Inventors: Benjamin Hubschmid, Yannick Fischbacher, Andreas Keller

Publication number: 20250144699Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a strapping tool including a tensioning assembly, a scaling assembly, a motor, and a transmission assembly. The transmission assembly operably connects the motor to the tensioning assembly and the sealing assembly. The motor can (via the transmission assembly) alternately drive the tensioning assembly to tension a loop of strap around a load and the sealing assembly to seal the strap to itself. The strapping tool also includes a locking assembly that prevents the motor from driving the sealing assembly via drag torque generated by the transmission assembly while the motor is driving the tensioning assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2023Publication date: May 8, 2025Inventors: Benjamin Hubschmid, Yannick Fischbacher

Publication number: 20250136311Abstract: The present disclosure provides a strapping tool with a motor that is housed within a housing of the strapping tool and that drives a drive gear that is drivingly engaged with a driven gear. The driven gear is operably connected to a tensioning assembly to drive a tension wheel of the tensioning assembly to tension strap sandwiched between the tension wheel and a tension plate on a support of the strapping wheel. The tensioning assembly is pivotably mounted to the support to enable the operator to pivot the tension wheel away from the tension plate to make room for the strap (or remove the strap). The motor is movable relative to the housing and the tensioning assembly such that, as the tensioning assembly pivots relative to the support, the motor moves relative to the housing and the tensioning assembly so the drive gear maintains driving engagement with the driven gear.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2023Publication date: May 1, 2025Inventors: Benjamin Hubschmid, Yannick Fischbacher, Michael Solinger, Mirco Neeser, Andreas Keller

Patent number: 11865686Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a battery-powered stapling tool. A stapling tool includes a drive wheel, a slide comprising a first slide segment and a second slide segment, and a drive shaft receivable by the slide, wherein the drive shaft is coupled to and drivable by the drive wheel such that rotation of the drive wheel in a first rotational direction moves the drive shaft from the first slide segment to the second slide segment back to the first slide segment. The stapling tool further includes a lifting element, wherein the lifting element defines the slide and is drivable by the drive shaft, and an ejector coupled to the lifting element and drivable by the drive shaft.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2022Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Signode Industrial Group LLCInventors: Benjamin Hubschmid, Dimitrios Takidis, Michael Wettstein

Patent number: 11311995Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a battery-powered stapling tool. In one embodiment, the stapling tool includes a drive wheel, a cam drivable by the drive wheel in a first rotational direction from a first position to a second position and back to the first position to carry out a staple-driving process, a motor operably connected to the drive wheel to drive the drive wheel, a lifting element defining a slide in which the cam is received, and an ejector connected to the lifting element and drivable by the lifting element between an ejector home position and an ejector ejection position. The slide has first and second slide segments that are transverse to one another. The lifting element is movable between a lifting-element home position and a lifting-element ejection position.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2019Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: Signode Industrial Group LLCInventors: Benjamin Hubschmid, Dimitrios Takidis, Michael Wettstein
