A dispenser is used for dispensing flexible material from a coil. The dispenser includes a frame, a coil carriage mounted to the frame and a brake/payout assembly mounted to the frame. The frame defines an axis of rotation about which the coil carriage rotates. The coil is securable within the coil carriage for rotation with the carriage. The brake/payout assembly is operably mounted to the frame and is moveable toward and away from the coil carriage. The brake/payout assembly is biased toward the coil carriage for engagement with the carriage. The brake/payout assembly engages the coil carriage to slow rotation of the carriage and includes a nip region through which the flexible material traverses during payout.

A crimping tool for applying a deformable crimp seal onto overlapping layers of strap material includes a head and pairs of jaws disposed in the tool head and operably mounted thereto. Each pair includes opposingly oriented jaw elements. A shear extends between and is operably connected to the jaw elements. The jaw elements have an inwardly oriented crimping portion with a tip having a tapered portion terminating at a free end. A pair of handles are operably connected to the jaw elements and to one another. A side plate is operably connected to the jaw elements and shears and includes a centrally disposed slotted opening. When the tool is in a closed position the jaw elements of each pair align with one another and the free ends of the opposingly oriented jaw element tips overlap in a direction transverse to the jaw elements.

A crimping tool for applying a seal to strap material includes a tool head having pairs of jaws disposed in the tool head and operably mounted thereto, each pair including opposingly oriented jaw elements. Each pair of jaws is spaced from its adjacent pair and includes an upper and lower pivot openings. A shear is positioned between adjacent pairs of jaw elements. The shears extend between the jaw elements and include opposing openings that align with the jaw element upper openings. A pair of handles, each having a terminal end having first openings that align with the jaw element lower openings and are operably connected to one another at respective pivot openings. The tool includes at least one side plate having a pair of upper openings each aligned with the jaw element upper openings and the shear openings. The plate includes a centrally disposed notched opening. A pair of handle pins are disposed in respective handle first openings and jaw element lower openings and a pair of link pins are disposed in respective side plate upper openings and respective jaw element upper openings and a shear opening. A pivot pin is disposed in the side plate notched opening and in the handle pivot openings. The shear can be reversible to accommodate different sizes of seals.

Front action sealing tool

A tension/cutter tool for band-type clamps that include a band for tensioning around an object and a seal for securing the tensioned band around the object, in which the band is bent and severed at the seal to form a J-seal. The tool includes a body, a drive, and a feed wheel mounted to the body and operably connected to the drive. A nose piece includes two rollers and is movably mounted to the body to engage and disengage the two rollers from contact with the feed wheel. The feed wheel and rollers define a band path therebetween. A tail end of the band is fed into the tool, between the feed wheel and the roller and the drive is actuated to tension the band. Upon achieving a desired tension, the seal is engaged with the nose piece and the band is bent to form the J-seal against the seal and the band is cut beyond the J-seal. A controller monitors and controls the tool functions.
