DEVICE AND METHOD FOR APPLYING TAPE AROUND BUNDLE OF ARTICLES Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC B65B13/02 B65B13/18 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: set of invention relates to strapping appliances. Proposed strapping device comprises guide assembly to receive tape and strap articles, tape accumulator made up of tape conveyor including tape feed and receive assemblies, and accumulator container with inlet. Note here that said container comprises tape path variation device that shifts to open and close the inlet. Note that tapes moves along the path and is positioned above path variation device in closed position and moves down via inlet with said device in open position. Strapping device accumulator comprises first and second assemblies of tape container and accumulator container. Path variation device comprises interacting part arranged nearby processing line extending between first and second assemblies when part variation device supports the tape. Note here that that container inlet is arranged between first and second assemblies when said interacting part moves aside from processing line with path variation device displacing from tape support position to tape accumulation position. In compliance with another version, accumulator comprises tape conveyor with opening for tape and articulated tape path variation device arranged nearby said conveyor. Note that said device moves between open and closed positions to interact with tape within the limits of said opening. Tape accumulator comprises also tape chamber arranged under conveyor so that part of the tape is fed into the chamber by gravity when path variation device is in open position. Method of accumulating the tape comprises displacing the tape toward strapping device along the accumulator processing line located above accumulator container and driving tape part down from processing line and, via container inlet in the chamber.

EFFECT: higher efficiency.
