A tape clamping method is used for clamping a band-shaped tape surrounding an object to be bound with a staple. The method includes: overlapping a first end that is one end of the tape and a second end that is another end of the tape; and clamping the tape by deforming the staple in a manner of clamping an overlapped part of the first end and the second end from an outer side of at least one of a pair of side edges of the tape.

A binding machine is configured to wind and bind an object to be bound with a band-shaped tape. The binding machine includes: a tape holder configured to hold a first end that is one end of a first part that is a part of the tape; and a tape remover configured to abut against the first end and configured to remove the tape from the tape holder.

A binding machine is configured to wind and bind an object to be bound with a binding material. The binding machine includes: a binding material feeder configured to move a first end that is one end of a first part which is a part of the binding material to a position overlapping a second end that is another end of the first part, and configured to surround the object to be bound with the binding material; and a binding portion configured to bind an overlapped part where the first end and the second end are overlapped.

A tightening auxiliary device for a strapping belt includes a main body which is mounted to a strapping machine. One end of the main body is a stop portion provided with a strapping buckle. When the strapping machine is used to strap a box, the strapping belt is wound around the box, and a first end of the strapping belt is fixed to a first side of the strapping buckle, and a second end of the strapping belt is wound around a second side of the strapping buckle and fitted on a rotary shaft of the strapping machine. During the tightening operation, the stop portion holds against the strapping belt and the first side of the strapping buckle, so that the strapping machine can pull the second end of the strapping belt effectively for tightening the strapping belt to be closely attached to the box, enhancing the strapping effect.

A strapping tensioning and sealing tool is disclosed herein. In one or more embodiments, the strapping tensioning and sealing tool includes a tensioning assembly, the tensioning assembly configured to apply tension to a piece of strapping; and a sealing assembly, the sealing assembly comprising at least one cam member, at least one crimping jaw member, and a motive power source, the at least one cam member operatively coupling the at least one crimping jaw member to the motive power source, and the at least one crimping jaw member of the sealing assembly configured to crimp a strapping sealing member so as to secure the piece of strapping around a package or bundle of items.

A hydraulic steel strapping machine for strapping a steel strip around a package, including a clamping and cutting section and a tensioning section. An objective of the present invention is to minimize the weight and the volume of the steel strapping machine. The clamping and cutting section comprises a clamping cylinder, disposed on a top position of a front end of the hydraulic steel strapping machine along a Z direction and supported by a support frame, for driving a linkage mechanism. A cylinder pin is disposed in the linkage mechanism along a X direction and is sleeved by a lifting lug fixed onto a bottom surface of a piston of the clamping cylinder. A pressing part is sleeved around the cylinder pin, a cutter a return spring and a transverse cutter are disposed below the pressing part. The linkage mechanism comprises two groups of connecting rods.

A cap is to be removably attached to a cutting blade configured to cut a tape. The cap includes a grip portion to be gripped by a user and a holding portion configured to hold teeth provided on a distal end of the cutting blade while causing the teeth to face the grip portion.

A sealing tool for forming a crimp-type joint in a seal positioned on overlapping courses of strap includes a body and a motor and drive train housed in the body. The tool includes an inertia storage element to reduce power consumption. A crimping assembly is mounted to the body and coupled to the motor through the drive train. The crimping assembly includes a pair of opposing jaw elements pivotable toward one another to contact and form crimps in the seal and the strapping material. A guide pin operably connects the drive train to the jaw elements. A side plate encloses the crimping assembly and includes an elongated, slotted opening. A bearing element is mounted to the guide pin and positioned in the slotted opening. The bearing element facilitates movement of the guide pin as it moves through the slotted opening to pivot the jaw elements to the closed position. A seal position element provides indication that the seal is properly positioned in the crimping assembly.

A strapping tool is disclosed herein. In one or more embodiments, the strapping tool includes a motive power source; and a tensioning assembly operatively coupled to the motive power source, the tensioning assembly including a cam member and at least one tensioning foot member, the cam member operatively coupling the at least one tensioning foot member to the motive power source, and the at least one tensioning foot member of the tensioning assembly configured to apply tension to a piece of strapping while being driven in an oscillatory manner by the motive power source. Also, in one or more embodiments, the strapping tool includes a jaw lifting assembly, the jaw lifting assembly configured to raise the at least one sealing jaw member out of a strapping pass line of the strapping tool so that the piece of strapping is capable of being inserted into the strapping tool.

A strapping tool for tensioning overlapping sections of steel strap around a load and forming a notch-type seal in a seal element positioned over the overlapping sections of steel strap includes a body having a foot, a tensioning section and a sealing section. The tensioning section has a tensioner motor assembly operably mounted to the body. The tensioner motor assembly has an electrically powered tensioner motor. A tensioning wheel is operably connected to the tensioner motor. The sealing section has a notcher assembly that includes an electrically powered notcher motor operably mounted to the body. The notcher assembly includes a linkage and at least one pair of jaw elements. The linkage is configured to pivot ends of the jaw elements toward one another in a sealing cycle to form the notch-type seal in the seal element. A control system controls operation of the tensioner motor and the notcher motor. The control system is configured to operate the strapping tool in an automatic mode in which the tensioner motor and the notcher motor are sequentially actuated by action of the control system by an operator.
