Abstract
A method of, and apparatus for, interconnecting the overlapping band sections of a packaging or strapping band wrapped around an article, by means of a closure seal having closure flaps extending in the lengthwise direction of the seal and located at oppositely situated sides of a floor or base portion of the seal. The closure flaps protrude from the seal. These closure flaps of the closure seal which bears at its base portion upon a counter holder, are placed over one another and pressed against the base portion by means of a rolling or roller element which is moved in the lengthwise direction of the closure seal from one end thereof and over such closure seal. The band sections bearing upon the base portion are fixedly clamped between the closed closure flaps and the base portion. The rolling or roller element is seated upon a rotatable shaft moved translatory in lengthwise direction of the closure seal by means of a rack-and-pinion drive. The rolling element is rotated by means of a toothed segment which is rigidly connected for rotation with the rolling element and, during the lengthwise displacement of the rotatable shaft, rolls upon a stationary gear rack.
