Benefits of technology

The patent aims to provide a device for crimping polypropylene bands that is easy to use and economical to manufacture. The technical effects include simplifying the crimping process and making it more efficient.

Problems solved by technology

This has the disadvantage that the closure device is relatively heavy, generally being 2.5 to 6 kilograms.
This leads to correspondingly high physical stress on the operator.
The handling of the closure device is particularly disadvantageous for the operator when the pallet to be closed or the article to be closed is higher than the chest level of the operator since, in this case, the closure device can no longer be placed on the top face of the packaged item in the normal way.
Due to health limitations, some people cannot carry out this activity.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]Not applicableFEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT[0002]Not applicable.MICROFICHE[0003]Not applicableBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0004](1) Field of the Invention[0005]The present invention generally relates to band-tightening devices, and, more particularly, to a polypropylene band-tightening device with a modified gripping and crimping mechanism. The invention also relates to a device that makes the process of crimping polypropylene bands easier.[0006](2) Background of the Invention[0007]Packets or articles are generally mounted on pallets by means of a packaging band in order to ensure that these packets and articles are transported safely and without being damaged.[0008]In addition to steel bands, plastic bands, predominantly composed of polyester or polypropylene, are increasingly being used for this purpose. Once the packaging band has been passed around the pallet and the packaged item, the packaging band is tensioned and clo...
