Abstract
Clip securing apparatus for securing clips of plastics materials around filamentary, stranded or strip-like materials comprises a throat (25) for receiving materials to be secured together, a holder (14) for a plurality of clips, and a reciprocal driver (10) operable to remove clips one at a time from the holder (14) and to drive each clip in open condition through the throat (25) of the apparatus so that the materials to be secured together enter the clip. The throat (25) has opposed faces that act upon the clip as it passes through the throat (25) to close the clip around the materials and so secure the clip around the materials.
