The present invention relates to a method for gathering-up a tubular film portion (3) on at least two gathering fingers (1) of a packaging machine and to a gathering apparatus (2) of a packaging machine for carrying out the method as claimed in the invention. According to the inventive method, the tubular film portion (3) is expanded at least in a part region when being gathered-up onto the gathering fingers (1), wherein the tubular film portion (3) is expanded only in the region between a contact means (4) of the respective gathering finger (1) and a gathering roller (6) of a gathering drive unit. The gathering apparatus (2) as claimed in the invention is distinguished in that the gathering fingers (1) can be driven into a gathering-up position for gathering-up the tubular film portion (3), in which gathering-up position the tubular film portion (3) is expanded at least in a part region, wherein the gathering apparatus (2) is developed such that the tubular film portion (3) is expanded on a contact means (4) arranged on the respective gathering finger (1) and a gathering roller (6) of the gathering drive unit only in the contact region of the tubular film portion (3) when the gathering fingers (1) are moved into the gathering-up position. |
