Crimping apparatus used in wrapping cylindrical objects.

摘要

The present invention relates to a crimping apparatus (200) for drawing up and closing the ends of a wrapping material (4) applied to a cylindrical object (1) which can reliably apply a uniform and visually appealing crimping to the ends of the object to be wrapped, and is not limited to small cylindrical objects. The present invention includes a paper folding mechanism (20), whereby an extended portion (5) of wrapping paper extending beyond the end surfaces of the cylindrical object can be folded inward against the respective end surfaces, and further includes an internal support mechanism (100) whereby the above mentioned extended portions can be supported from within by their internal surfaces. Additionally, the crimping apparatus of the present invention includes a means to apply a sealing label (L) to the crimped end of the cylindrical object.
