Estimating the term…
Apparatus for strapping articles, wherein the band channel (28) of the band guiding frame (13) is covered by profile strips, which consist of an elastic material, preferably an elastically curing polyurethane elastomer casting mass, into which are embedded wear and/or sliding elements in the form of metal helical spring elements (34), the helical spring axes of which run essentially parallel to the band channel (28), and the coils of which project a little bit from the elastic material into the interior (28) of the band channel and form curved sliding surfaces (35) running essentially transversely to the band channel, so that the strapping band essentially only comes into contact with the metallic sliding surfaces of the spring elements during the exit from the band channel, and thereby does not damage the elastic material of the profile strips.

An article strapping apparatus comprising a strap band guiding frame, arranged to surround an article to be strapped, and a band channel on an article-facing side of the strap band guiding frame, the band channel having:
A profile strip for covering a band channel in a band guiding frame of an article strapping apparatus according claim 1, wherein the profile strip comprises a side wall and a front wall, which are angled to one another and which are made in one piece of an elastic material with a high fatigue strength under reversed bending, the profile strip consisting of an elastically curing elastomer cast mass and being provided with wear and/or slide elements in the region of band contact surfaces formed at the front wall, the wear and/or sliding elements consisting of at least one metal helical spring element which is set in the profile strip in such a manner that its coils project a little from the cured elastic cast compound at the front wall.
