Abstract

An apparatus for strapping a cuboidal package by means of two intercrossing straps encircling the package in cross-sectional planes at right angles to one another. Two strap guide frames which, in respect to their frame plane, are disposed at right angles to a horizontal delivery plane extending in their clear frame opening, serve to transport the package, the strap being adapted to be guided, in each of the guide frames, around the clear frame opening. Associated with each strap guide frame is a device for inserting the strap into the strap guide frame and also for tensioning, locking, and cutting off the strap laid around the package.
