摘要 |
The invention relates to a device (1) for binding together at least one object (2), e.g. a cable bunch, with the aid of a binding means (4), e.g. "twist tie". It comprises a rack (34), a feed apparatus (5) and two articulated arms (8, 9) for guiding the binding means (4) around the object (2). The articulated arms (8, 9) can be opened from their working position in which they are swiveled against one another. Furthermore, a cutting apparatus (18) for cutting the rear end of the binding means (4) and a twisting apparatus (17) for twisting the two ends of the binding means (4) are provided. The twisting apparatus(17) is provided with a rotary head (20) and therein with an opening for the binding means (4). The rotary head (20) of the twisting apparatus (17) has, on its end face (21), two openings, i.e. an axial feed opening (24) and an axial removal opening (25) for the binding means (4). However, the feed and removal openings (24, 25) are designed so that they themselves can securely hold the two ends of the binding means (4) -and the binding means loop formed from the binding means (4) -during the twisting exclusively by friction, i.e. without additional fastening means. |
