Abstract
A parcel tying-up machine which is placed between an input conveyor belt for the parcels to be tied up and an output conveyor belt for the tied-up parcels, comprises a frame and a tying-up unit. The tying-up unit has a guide apparatus for placing a tie round a parcel and a tie-joiner, which is placed under the conveyor path in the tying-up plane and is operative for joining together the loop ends of the tie. The tying-up unit is supported on the frame so that it may be moved backwards and forwards in the direction of transport of the parcels. The movement of the tying-up unit is affected by a driving system which is fixed to the frame. The machine is provided with conveying systems for taking over the parcels to be tied up from the input conveyor belt and for handing over the parcels after being tied up onto the output conveyor belt.
