Abstract: An apparatus for wrapping a load of goods on a pallet with parallel or crosswise running straps has an upper carriage displaceable in elevation. A vertical shaft is secured on the upper carriage and carries a wrapping arm with a horizontal part and a downwardly-projecting perpendicular part, radially spaced from the shaft. A spool of banding material in the form of a thin flat strip is provided above the shaft or on the horizontal part of the wrapping arm, and guiding pulleys at a junction betwen the horizontal and vertical parts, and at a lower discharge end of the vertical part, guide the flat strip to the area of a lower carriage, which is also displacement in elevation and supports a unit adapted to hold, cut and affix the flat strip when wrapped.

Abstract: A machine for cutting and removing cord or band from secured goods, having a portal stand to which a conveyer brings the goods secured by cord or band. A cross beam can be vertically adjusted and guided along uprights and suspended from two rope lines which are run over fixed pulleys and connected with a pulley block that is actively connected to a gear brake motor. To one end section of the cross beam is mounted an adjustable cutter unit and to the other an adjustable suction unit. Both units have each one spring-mounted movable feeler plate. To the feeler plate of the cutter unit is mounted a vertically positioned cutter head and to the feeler plate of the suction unit is connected a suction head that removes the cut securing agents.
