<p>A bundling apparatus for clamping elongate articles (20-23) into a bundle, the apparatus having a zone into which the articles are brought for bundling, and an elongate flexible element (11) suspended so as to form a loop at least partly surrounding said zone. A pair of swingable tensioning arms (3,4) each has a contact member (9,10) for engaging the clamping element (11) from outside the loop and is swingable in a path about an axis (5) in a manner such that the contact member (9,10) moves above said zone while pushing said clamping element, the contact members (3,4) thus cooperate to effect tightening of the loop. The paths of swinging of said arms are arranged so that said arms are able to cross each other during their swinging movement.</p> |
