A strap feeding device includes first driving and driven rollers, second driving and driven rollers, an actuating unit, and a detecting unit. The actuating unit can move the second driving roller between a released position, where the second driven roller is spaced apart from the second driving roller, and a contact, where the second driven roller contacts the second driving roller and is co-rotatable with the second driving roller to clamp and move a strap. The control device controls rotation of the first and second driving rollers to feed and return the strap, detects rotation of the first driven roller, and controls the actuating unit to move the second driven roller to the contact and released positions.

The present invention relates to a method and device for dispensing thread. The thread dispensing device comprises a transport unit having at least a first and a second transport element for a defined transport of the thread, a drive unit for driving the first and second transport element and a shifting unit for reversibly shifting the first transport element relative to the second transport element. The present invention further relates to a clipping machine and a method for producing sausage-shaped products, wherein the clipping machine comprises the inventive device for dispensing thread.
