Abstract
A seal-less strapping head having an improvement for deflecting an angularly inclined overlying portion of the strap downwardly to prevent premature cut-off of the strap before the overlapped portions are fastened together. Apparatus is also provided for adjusting the elevation of the shear blade with respect to the movable die to accommodate severing a wide range of strap thicknesses. In another aspect, first and second frame sections are pivotally attached, the first section having cylinder means mounted thereon, the second section having cylinder means mounted thereon, the second section having a pair of dies housed therein for fastening the strap. Apparatus is provided for rotating the cylinder rod to vary the length engagement of a threaded member with a threaded portion extending axially from the cylinder rod to adjust the stroke of the upper die for various strap thicknesses.
