Sealing tool for strap

A device for cutting notches into two ends of a strap to attach the two ends of the strap to one another, the device comprising:

• first and second jaws defining a strap path therebetween;
• one or more plates;
• a first connector connecting the first jaw to one of the one or more plates so the first jaw is rotatable about the first connector and relative to that one of the one or more plates between a first jaw rest position and a first jaw cutting position;
• a second connector connecting the second jaw to one of the one or more plates so the second jaw is rotatable about the second connector and relative to that one of the one or more plates between a second jaw rest position and a second jaw cutting position;
• a drive element rotatable about a drive element rotational axis, wherein the drive element is operably connected to the first and second jaws so rotation of the drive element about the drive element rotational axis in a first rotational direction results in the first and second jaws rotating from their respective rest positions to their respective cutting positions and, afterwards, further rotation of the drive element about the drive element rotational axis in the first rotational direction results in the first and second jaws rotating back to their respective rest positions;
• and
• a motor operably connected to the drive element to rotate the drive element in the first rotational direction.

A device for cutting notches into two ends of a strap to attach the two ends of the strap to one another, the device comprising:

• a housing;
• a battery receivable in the housing;
• first and second jaws defining a strap path therebetween;
• a first plate and a second plate fixed relative to the housing, wherein the first and second jaws are between the first and second plates;
• a first connector connecting the first jaw to the first and second plates so the first jaw is rotatable about the first connector and relative to the first and second plates between a first jaw rest position and a first jaw cutting position;
• a second connector connecting the second jaw to the first and second plates so the second jaw is rotatable about the second connector and relative to the first and second plates between a second jaw rest position and a second jaw cutting position;
• a drive element rotatable about a drive element rotational axis and positioned so the drive element rotational axis is above and between the first and second jaws, wherein the drive element is operably connected to the first and second jaws so rotation of the drive element about the drive element rotational axis in a first rotational direction no less than about 180 degrees and no more than about 360 degrees from a starting position results in the first and second jaws rotating from their respective rest positions to their respective cutting positions and, afterwards, back to their respective rest positions;
• and
• a motor powered by the battery and positioned at least partially within the housing between the battery and the drive element, wherein the motor is operably connected to the drive element to rotate the drive element in the first rotational direction.

A device for cutting notches into two ends of a strap to attach the two ends of the strap to one another, the device comprising:

• a housing;
• a motor positioned at least in part in the housing;
• first and second jaws defining a strap path therebetween;
• and
• a cam to which the motor is operably connected, wherein the cam is rotatable about a cam rotational axis,
• wherein the motor is operably connected to the first and second jaws via the cam so rotation of the cam about the cam rotational axis in a first rotational direction results in the first and second jaws rotating from an open configuration to a closed configuration and, afterwards, further rotation of the cam about the cam rotational axis in the first rotational direction results in the first and second jaws rotating back to the open configuration.
