摘要 |
The invention relates to a device for feeding and tensioning the strap in strap applying machines, of the type in which the strap (R) is moved forward and fed between a pair of wheels, one being a drawing wheel (1) rotated by motor means and the other being an idly rotating contrast wheel (2) pressed against the first wheel through the strap (R). The drawing wheel (1) is caused to rotate by an epicyclic train, the free element (9) of which is connected by a mechanical drive to the shaft (8) of the contrast wheel (2), while the contrast wheel (2) is mounted idle onto an eccentric pin (7) of said shaft (8). The mechanical drive comprises a movable control element (17) being apt to act elastically on the shaft (8) of the contrast wheel (2) in order to cause the rotation thereof.
