Abstract

The invention relates to apparatuses and a method for pushing tubular films over elongate objects, which preferably have varying cross sections, in which one, preferably two, conveyors (5, 6) transport the objects (4) lying freely, by the objects (4) being held, preferably in a clamping manner, at at least one, preferably at both ends, by a holding device (7), in which a pushing means guides a sleeve (27), on which the film tube (9) is arranged, over the object (4) in order to withdraw the sleeve again at a later time, in which a further pushing means (28, 32) holds the film tube in such a way that the film tube is pushed off the sleeve as the sleeve (27) is withdrawn, in order then to extend around the object.

A method of pushing sections of tubular film over elongate objects, which preferably have varying cross sections,

in which the objects are transported lying down and transversely to their longitudinal extent, by preferably being held at both ends by holding devices preferably belonging to two continuously movable holding conveyors,
in which a synchronous sleeve, which can move with the holding conveyors and on which a section of tubular film is arranged, is guided over the object,
in which the section of tubular film is then pushed off the sleeve and over the object and the sleeve is withdrawn,
or in which the section of tubular film is guided immediately and synchronously over the object without the use of a sleeve.
