A rope fixture 11 fixes a closing rope 12 for binding a bag opening of a flexible container bag 20A as a bag body, and includes a plate-shaped body in which a through-hole and a slit are formed, wherein a through-hole 13 allows the closing rope 12 to pass therethrough and a slit 14 nips and locks the closing rope 12 and has an insertion opening 17 provided at one end located at a lateral side of the plate-shaped body 15 and has a rope locking portion 18 allowing the closing rope 12 to pass therethrough and locks the closing rope 12 provided at the other end.

A bag sealing tape which can be repeatedly used without damaging a banded object such as a bag or the like when the object is opened, and which does not have to be separated for disposal; and a banding device and a banding method using the bag sealing tape. The bag sealing tape includes adhesion zones and non-adhesion zones, and the adhesion zones are disposed on the surface of a base film in a stepping stone manner in a length direction of the base film.

A tool for sealing a zipper lock bag comprises a first arm having first and second ends, the first arm defining a first longitudinal axis, a second arm having first and second ends, the second arm defining a second longitudinal axis. The second end of the second arm is connected to the second end of the first arm to define tongs. First and second rollers are rotationally mounted to the first arm near the first end about first and second axes of rotation that are substantially parallel to the first longitudinal axis. A third roller is rotationally mounted to the second arm near the first end about a third axis of rotation substantially parallel to the second longitudinal axis. The third roller is between the first roller and the second roller to engage both the first and second rollers when the first and second arms are squeezed together.

An apparatus for sealing or tying products includes a housing with a first tape dispenser comprising adhesive tape and binding means for binding tape from the a dispenser around a product or a bundle of products, At least one supply device is provided for supplying items to be connected, to the product or bundle of products. The binding means comprises a cell and an urging device for urging part of the product or bundle of products into the cell, especially towards a closed side of the cell. The urging device comprises a holding provision for holding an item provided by the supply device, such that when the urging device is operated for urging the product or bundle of products into the cell the item is urged against the product or bundle of products, preferably prior to binding the tape around the product or bundle of products in the cell.

A viscous material recovery system allows a user to quickly and easily recover viscous material agglomerated proximate a bottom of a container and includes a collection assembly having a collection unit with a container receiving end and an oppositely disposed collection end including a collection reservoir. A recovery assembly includes a recovery unit having a sleeve with a proximal end with a proximal opening therethrough and an oppositely disposed distal end. In use, the user operatively positions the collection unit, having the container with the viscous material therein, into the recovery unit. Next, the user spins the recovery unit having the collection unit with the container operatively positioned therein along and around a circular path about 10 revolutions to about 15 revolutions such that centrifugal force causes the agglomerated viscous material to move from proximate the container bottom to proximate the container neck for transfer therethrough.
