The present disclosure provides a strapping apparatus for strapping articles to be packaged with a strapping band. The strapping apparatus includes a band detection device configured to indicate that the band is in a non-positionally correct and/or a positionally correct position, depending on the embodiment.

A strapping machine comprising: —a feeding device for feeding astrap (3) around one or more objects and subsequently retracting the strap to draw it tightly around said objects; —a welding device for forming a welded joint between a first section at the leading end of the strap and an overlapping second section at the trailing end of a piece (3a) of the strap fed around said objects to thereby secure this piece in a loop around the objects; —a support member (24) for supporting said overlapping strap sections during the formation of the joint, a recess (25) being provided in an upper support surface (26) on the support member; and—a pressing element (27) with a shape adapted to the shape of said recess, the pressing element and support member being configured to form a permanent bulge (30) on the first strap section by a press forming action between the pressing element and the support member.

In order to be able to attach an automatic rear-end filling device (20) to a vertically operating box baler (1), which does not increase the height requirement for such an automated vertical box baler (1) too much and at the same time permits batchwise operation, a collecting trolley (SW) filled with loose material (P) is automatically lifted by means of a corresponding lifting/pivoting device (20) and dumped in a storage container (21) at the e.g. rear wall and from there it is pushed diagonally upwards in the direction of movement (24′) through a filling opening (2.2a) into the interior of the press box (2) by means of a storage pusher (24).

According to an embodiment, a bundling method and a bundling apparatus of a plurality of band-shaped parts of a current collecting tab in an electrode group, in which the current collecting tab projects, are provided. In the bundling method and apparatus, the current collecting tab is deformed by moving a bundling tool, with the bundling tool being abutted to the current collecting tab from an outer side in a lamination direction of a plurality of band-shaped parts. At this time, the bundling tool is moved so that a moving direction of the bundling tool is inclined with respect to the lamination direction of the plurality of band-shaped parts, toward a side opposite to a side where the current collecting tab projects.
