Title: Article strapping

Abstract: An apparatus for use in strapping a bundle of articles with a heat sealable plastics material strap, the apparatus having first and second strap feed stations and a support for receiving and supporting a bundle of articles to be strapped. When the bundle is moved onto the support it passes through the line of the strap extending between the stations so that the strap is caused to embrace the bundle, and first and second limbs of the strap which then extend from the bundle to the respective stations are each clamped at two spaced apart zones. The two strap limbs are then severed between the clamping zones by a reciprocating cutter and resultant corresponding end portions of the severed limbs are then moved into clamping contact and welded together in overlapping relationship.
