In a strapping apparatus for strapping goods with a band, which apparatus has a tensioning device which is operatively connected to a tensioning drive and is intended for tensioning the band, a welding device for sealing two layers of a band, and a plurality of rewinding locks for fixing the band on the strapping apparatus, highest possible efficiency is to be achieved. The invention proposes providing the welding device with a lever (,), on the one end of which an eccentric (,) which is operatively connected to a motor shaft acts for the purpose of transmitting an eccentric movement, with regard to the motor shaft of the closure device, to the lever (,), and to the other end of which a welding shoe (,) is coupled, the lever (,) being mounted pivotably at a bearing point (,), so that the movement of the eccentric results in an oscillating reciprocating movement of the welding shoe. As a result, it is possible to reduce the power loss occurring in the friction welding operation.

Strapping apparatus

In a strapping apparatus for strapping goods with a band, which apparatus has a tensioning device which is operatively connected to a tensioning drive and is intended for tensioning the band, a closure device for sealing two ends of a band, and a plurality of rewinding locks for fixing the band on the strapping apparatus, highest possible efficiency is to be achieved. The invention proposes providing the tensioning device with a rocker (,) arranged opposite a tensioning wheel (,), mounting the rocker (,) pivotably about a rocker axis (,) and designing the tensioning wheel (,) and the rocker (,) in such a way that they can be moved towards each other, as a result of which the band can be clamped between the rocker and the tensioning wheel, and the band rests on the tensioning wheel with a large angle of wrap (&agr;).

A strapping apparatus for strapping goods with a band, which apparatus has a tensioning device which is operatively connected to a tensioning drive and is intended for tensioning of the band, a closure device for sealing two ends of a band, and a plurality of rewinding locks for fixing the band on the strapping apparatus, is to be as lightweight as possible while of high functional reliability. It is therefore proposed that an essentially plate-shaped control board (,) which is operatively connected to an actuating means is provided as the means for controlling functions of the strapping apparatus, that a movement of the actuating means brings about a pivoting movement of the control board (,), and that the pivoting movement of the control board can be transmitted to a plurality of transmitting means which are coupled to the control board, with which the rewinding locks (,) can be transferred from a locking position into an insertion position and vice versa. With the solution according to invention, the means for controlling the functions of a strapping apparatus are initiated from just one control board, whereby the number of individual parts required can be reduced.
