Strap processing apparatus and a paper processing apparatus

摘要

The strap processing apparatus (1) comprises a first carrying conveyer (21) for carrying a bundle H of a predetermined number of layered valuable papers (H') prepared by layering and sealing valuable papers (P) with a sealing strap (k), a second carrying conveyer (22) and upper conveyers (18) for bending the bundle (H) carried by the first carrying conveyer (21) thereby to form a clearance between the upper surface portion of the layered valuable papers (H') and the sealing strap (k), a pair of strap catchers (50A, 50B) for clamping a portion of the sealing strap (k) lifted apart from the upper surface portion of the layered valuable papers (H') with a predetermined distance maintained between the pair of strap catchers (50A, 50B) each other, and a cutter (61) for cutting an intermediate portion of the sealing strap (k) clamped by the pair of strap catchers (50A, 50B).
