Abstract
The present invention relates to a closure strap for closing packages having a bag-shaped or tubular form, in particular for closing sausage-shaped packages, like sausages. The closure strap comprises a strap body including an elongated stripe portion having a first end and a second end, and an insertion portion having a first end, a second end and an insertion channel. The second end of the insertion portion is connected with the first end of the stripe portion. The second end of the stripe portion forms an insertion end for being inserted into the insertion channel of the insertion portion in an insertion direction. The second or insertion end of the stripe portion and the insertion channel have a substantially round cross section corresponding to each other.
Claims19
A closure strap for closing packages having a bag-shaped or tubular form, in particular for closing sausage-shaped packages, like sausages, comprising a strap body having a length including an elongated stripe portion having a first end and a second end, and an insertion portion having a first end, a second end and an insertion channel, wherein the second end of the insertion portion is connected with the first end of the stripe portion, and wherein the second end of the stripe portion forms an insertion end for being inserted into an insertion opening of the insertion channel of the insertion portion in an insertion direction with the insertion opening being at the first end of the insertion portion, and
- wherein the second or insertion end of the stripe portion and the insertion channel including the insertion opening thereof have a substantially round cross section corresponding to each other to allow the insertion end to be inserted into the insertion opening along an axis of the channel in different rotary orientations of the insertion end relative to the insertion opening, wherein the insertion channel terminates in an exit opening which is arranged at the second end of the insertion portion spaced from the insertion opening at the insertion portion first end along the length of the strap body so that the channel extends along the strap body length and which is directed to the inner surface of the closure strap that is to face the package to be closed.
A closure strap for closing packages having a bag-shaped or tubular form, in particular for closing sausage-shaped packages, like sausages, comprising a strap body having a length including an elongated stripe portion having a first end and a second end, and an insertion portion having a first end, a second end and an insertion channel, wherein the second end of the insertion portion is connected with the first end of the stripe portion, and wherein the second end of the stripe portion forms an insertion end for being inserted into an insertion opening of the insertion channel of the insertion portion in an insertion direction with the insertion opening being at the first end of the insertion portion, and
- wherein the insertion channel terminates in an exit opening which is arranged at the second end of the insertion portion spaced from the insertion opening at the insertion portion first end along the length of the strap body so that the channel extends along the strap body length and which is directed to the inner surface of the closure strap that is to face the package to be closed, and
- wherein the insertion opening has an axis extending therethrough and lengthwise along the strap body, and
- wherein an outer surface of the stripe portion has notches, the insertion portion has notches exposed in the channel thereof, and an inner surface of the stripe portion is smooth and free of notches.
A closure strap for closing packages having a bag-shaped or tubular form, in particular for closing sausage-shaped packages, like sausages, comprising a strap body having a length including an elongated stripe portion having a first end and a second end, and an insertion portion having a first end, a second end and an insertion channel, wherein the second end of the insertion portion is connected with the first end of the stripe portion, and wherein the second end of the stripe portion forms an insertion end for being inserted into an insertion opening of the insertion channel of the insertion portion in an insertion direction with the insertion opening being at the first end of the insertion portion, and
- wherein the insertion channel terminates in an exit opening which is arranged at the second end of the insertion portion spaced from the insertion opening at the insertion portion first end along the length of the strap body so that the channel extends along the strap body length and which is directed to the inner surface of the closure strap that is to face the package to be closed, and
- wherein the insertion opening and the exit opening have respective axes extending therethrough and transverse to one another so that the openings face in different directions, and
- wherein the strap body has an elongate annular wall portion extending about the insertion channel, and the elongate annular wall portion has a circumference and extends continuously about the circumference thereof.
A closure strap for closing packages having a bag-shaped or tubular form, in particular for closing sausage-shaped packages, like sausages, comprising a strap body having a length including an elongated stripe portion having a first end and a second end, and an insertion portion having a first end, a second end and an insertion channel, wherein the second end of the insertion portion is connected with the first end of the stripe portion, and wherein the second end of the stripe portion forms an insertion end for being inserted into an insertion opening of the insertion channel of the insertion portion in an insertion direction with the insertion opening being at the first end of the insertion portion, and
- wherein the insertion channel terminates in an exit opening which is arranged at the second end of the insertion portion spaced from the insertion opening at the insertion portion first end along the length of the strap body so that the channel extends along the strap body length and which is directed to the inner surface of the closure strap that is to face the package to be closed, and
