Abstract: A countertop wrapping machine for weighing and wrapping merchandise is disclosed. A single roll of film is supported by columns which extend upwardly from the back end of the machine. A shelf for supporting a weighing device is disposed near the bottom of the machine but high enough so that a web of film can pass thereunder. The wrapping machine also has a transverse electrically heated cutter bar with a knife edge which contacts only a small area of film. A hot plate is provided for heating portions of the film for heat sealing. One end of the roll of film is supported by a device which can be adjustably mounted on an axle to accommodate rolls of different widths. The other end of the roll may be supported by conventional means. The machine operator pulls a web of film manually along a path which extends from the film roll, under the shelf for the weighing device, and to the cutter bar.
