<p>A machine for tying simultaneously both ends of sausages (6), supplied by a continuous charge formed by a sheetlike support member (1) having apertures (7) surrounded by rings of a string (8) provided with preformed slipknots (4), comprising means for supporting and entraining the charge, string drawing means, knot tightening means and purge means. The support and entraining means are formed by a hollow vertical cylindrical member (10), provided with apertures (11) and pins (12), rotatable about its axis, feeding the charge step by step. The tightening means comprise two plates (15) above the upper edge of the charge, with the inner edge thereof separated from a vertical support plate (14) at a distance insufficient to allow passage of the slipknots. The purge means comprise a semicylindrical hollow purge plate (19) adjacent the cylindrical member and vertically movable, provided with two pairs of outwardly and downwardly divergent rods (22). <IMAGE></p> |
