Tin-tie clip bending device and method

摘要

A tin-tie bending device for bending the ends of a tin-tie about the edges of a bag wherein the tin-tie is secured to across the width of the bag and the ends of the tin-tie extend beyond the edges of the bag prior to bending. The device includes a mechanism for moving the bag along a travel path past a detecting mechanism and a bending mechanism of the device. The detecting mechanism detects the bag as it travels past the detecting mechanism. The bending means bends the end of the tin-tie about the edge of the bag and is actuated upon the detecting mechanism sensing the passing of the bag along the bag travel path.
