Abstract
Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a strapping device including a support, a tensioning assembly movable relative to the support between a tensioning position and a strap-insertion position, a motor, and an offset coupling. The tensioning assembly includes a tensioning wheel and a driven shaft operably connected to the tensioning wheel to drive the tensioning wheel. The offset coupling an offset coupling operably connects the motor to the driven shaft to transmit output of the motor to the driven shaft to rotate the driven shaft when the tensioning assembly is in the tensioning position and when the tensioning assembly is in the strap-insertion position.
