Apparatus for bundling stacks of newspapers

摘要

The invention relates to apparatus for bundling stacks of newspapers. The apparatus includes a rollerway for conveying a stack into the wrapping-up zone defined by an endless roller conveyor and a frame, a device being mounted to each side of the rollerway for protecting the newspapers in a stack from crumpling, including a pivotable bell crank rotatable into two alternative positions in one of which the free arm of the bell crank is introduced into the area to be occupied by the end faces of the bundle-to-be and is aligned with the bottom edge of the stack. In the other position the arm is retracted from under the wrapping paper, to enable the stack to leave the roller conveyor unobstructedly.
