Abstract: An arrangement for bundling elongated flexible elements includes a support which includes a hopper-shaped receptacle for supporting a plurality of the elments to be bundled with substantially the same orientation, and a base arranged underneath the receptacle. An elongated torque member is mounted in the base for rotation about an axis and it can be rotated by a hand crank mounted on the torque member for joint rotation therewith. At least one elongated flexible bundling member is provided, and it has two end portions with effective lengths that are at least sufficient for the end portions jointly to surround the plurality of the elements to be bundled, and a central portion interconnecting the end portions and connected to the torque member for becoming wound around the torque member during the rotation thereof with attendant simultaneous reduction in the effective lengths of the end portions.
