Abstract

The lashing device has at least one supply reel, which contains a lashing element which is to be applied in a continuous spiral. The supply reel is mounted on a journal so that it can revolve about its longitudinal axis, and the journal, together with the supply reel, is arranged so that, with simultaneous longitudinal movement along the conductor, this journal wraps around the conductor in a rotating manner.
