Abstract
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.
