Bundling apparatus.

摘要

In a bundling apparatus, a stack of sheets (P) is wound with a band (MT) coated on one side with a thermally fusible material by a winder (41). The winder (41) winds the band (MT) so that one end of the band (MT) is joined with another portion of the band (MT). As the band (MT) is wound around the stack of sheets (P), a forward end portion of the band (MT) is turned up by a turning mechanism (41A), thereby forming a turnup portion (BP) in the band (MT). The turnup portion (BP) and that portion of the band (MT) which is joined with the turnup portion (BP) is fused by a heater (43) so that both portions are bonded together.
