AUTOMATIC PACKAGING METHOD AND APPARATUS

摘要

An automatic packaging apparatus has a bed-plate (3) on which objects are packaged. A tape guide is provided which can be swivelled to one side. The guide functions to form into a loop packaging tape (4) fed by a tape transport section. Placing the object to be packaged in the loop triggers a sequence of operations which enables the package to be bound automatically without the tape tangling or catching.
