Abstract
An automatic connecting apparatus for continuous packaging, having a braking mechanism for braking a terminal of a belt-shaped product at a braking position located near a conveying pathway of the belt-shaped product, with the belt-shaped product having packaged items which are packaged in bulged sections at regular pitch intervals. The apparatus also has a detection device coupled to the braking mechanism, for detecting the terminal end of the belt-shaped product. A positioning mechanism positions the terminal end at a prescribed position downstream from the braking position of the belt-shaped product, with interactive movement between the bulged sections and an interacting piece. A cutting mechanism is provided for cutting and separating a terminal end, and forming and pressing a new terminal end. A starting-end positioning device is provided for positioning the starting spare belt-shaped product so that it can be connected to the terminal end of the old belt-shaped product.
