A device and a method for attaching a label for identifying a bale to an elongate flexible object, wherein the device comprises storage means for the label and attachment means for attaching the label to the elongate flexible object, and wherein the label, on its edge, has an opening which is adapted to attach the label to the elongate flexible object.

A system is configured to automatically band a product with a portion of twist tie material and includes a tying machine which includes a twisting barrel, a tie payout assembly, a tie feeding assembly, a main drive belt, and a tying ring. The tie payout assembly includes a spool shaft configured for mounting a tie spool of the twist tie material. The tie feeding assembly is configured to receive the twist tie material from the tie payout assembly and includes a feedroller, a nip roller, a forward feedroll clutch, a reverse feedroll clutch, and a feedroll belt. The nip roller is configured to contact the feedroller with the twist tie material therebetween. The forward feedroll clutch is engageable with a forward feedroll pulley that surrounds a forward feedroll shaft. The reverse feedroll clutch is engageable with a reverse feedroll pulley that surrounds a reverse feedroll shaft.

A label and bundling assembly is disclosed that includes a label having a first end and a second end, an attachment component having a first point, a second point, a top side and an underside comprising a waterproof adhesive, wherein the adhesive is fully coated on the underside, and a bunching component, wherein the first point of the attachment component is coupled with the second end of the label, wherein the bunching component is secured to the adhesive of the attachment component, and wherein the second point of the attachment component is brought around a portion of the bunching component and the underside of the second point of the attachment component is brought into contact with the underside of the first point, such that the first point, the second point, and the bunching component form a waterproof seal. Methods of using contemplated embodiments are also disclosed.

An apparatus for reinforcing stapling connections created by an elastic stapling apparatus with a plurality of individual reinforcing elements. The apparatus constructs and deploys the plurality of individual reinforcing elements simultaneously with the elastic stapling apparatus generating a plurality of plastic fasteners. The apparatus manufactures the plurality of individual reinforcing elements from a pair of oppositely disposed rolls of reinforcing stock material. The individual reinforcing elements provide additional structural integrity to articles that are deformable in construction.

A method for replacing a tag tool needle includes securing at least a portion of a tag tool needle coupled to a tag tool in a needle container; and removing the tag tool needle from the tag tool with the needle container. A tag tool needle container includes a first tubular aperture adapted to receive at least a portion of a first tag tool needle therein, where the first tubular aperture has a compression-fit adapted to securely enclose the portion of the first tag tool needle when urged over the first tag tool needle; and a second tubular aperture coupled to the first tubular aperture and adapted to receive at least a portion of a second tag tool needle therein, where the second tubular aperture has a compression-fit adapted to adapted to securely enclose the portion of the second tag tool needle when urged over the second tag tool needle.

The invention relates to an assembly (6) of a plurality of identical insertion bodies (1), wherein each insertion body (1) has an RFID tag (2) as an electronic or electromechanical transmitter and/or receiver device. The insertion bodies (1) are connected to one another, one next to the other or one behind the other by means of one or more connecting elements (28), wherein the connecting elements (28) are designed to be torn off (4) mechanically by an external force effect (F) on a single insertion body (1). In this way, the connecting elements (28) can form, when combined as a type of magazine (6), a linear arrangement for a pneumatic or electrical nail gun device or bolt gun device (20) as an insertion device, in order, for example, to be inserted into pallets (25) for the purpose of marking them.
