Abstract
Described is a device for strapping packages having a tape supply for a tape-like strapping means, a tape guide channel for passage of the strapping means and a sealing unit for sealing the loop formed by the strapping means and surrounding the package, the tape guide channel being arranged on a frame that consists of two curved frame parts, which are movable out of a rest position below a supporting surface for the packages into a closed position above the supporting surface and back. Such an arrangement simplifies the drive and the guide for the frame parts. This is achieved since each of the two frame parts is guided moveably along its curved centerline below the supporting surface by at least one guiding device.

A device for strapping packages, comprising:
- a tape supply for a strapping tape, a tape guide channel for passage of the strapping tape, and a sealing unit for sealing a loop formed by the strapping tape and surrounding the package, the tape guide channel being arranged on a frame which has two curved frame parts, which are movable out of a rest position below a supporting surface for the packages, into a closed position above the supporting surface and back;
- wherein each frame part below the supporting surface is guided moveably along its curved centerline by at least one guiding device;
- and
- wherein each frame part is curved in the shape of at least a portion of an arc of a circle.
A device for strapping packages, comprising:
- a tape supply for a strapping tape, a tape guide channel for passage of the strapping tape, and a sealing unit for sealing a loop formed by the strapping tape and surrounding the package, the tape guide channel being arranged on a frame which has two curved frame parts, which are movable out of a rest position below a supporting surface for the packages, into a closed position above the supporting surface and back;
- wherein each frame part below the supporting surface is guided moveably along its curved centerline by at least one guiding device;
- and
- wherein the guiding device for one of the frame parts has at least two guide-roller pairs, and the two guide rollers of one pair face one another and rest on the curved surfaces of said frame part.
