Apparatus (80) for closing a folded
package (4) without the use of gluing means, comprising means (84) for retaining the
package (4) in a folded configuration, the
package (4) comprising at least one rear flap (8) and at least one front flap (12), superimposed onto the rear flap (8), on the opposite side of a containment volume (16) delimited by the package (4), wherein the retaining means (84) comprise at least one lateral bracket (88) that interfaces with the front flap (12) and at least one locking device (76) of said rear flap (8), so as to maintain said front (12) and rear (8) flaps locked in a position of mutual contact, at least one pusher (92) having an actuation
stroke adapted to move a closing tab (44) of the front flap (12), hinged along a closing line (52), towards the rear flap (8) so as to
interlock said closing tab (44) within a notch (40) on the rear flap (8), said pusher (92) being provided with a front protrusion (96) that is forward of a front wall (100). The actuation
stroke of the pusher (92) is of the linear type and parallel to a longitudinal extension axis (L-L) of the pusher (92). The front protrusion (96) is provided with a movable partition (108) capable of passing from a closed configuration, wherein it is adhered to said front protrusion (96), to an open configuration, wherein it moves away from the front protrusion (96) so as to protrude transversely with respect to the front protrusion (96), along a
sectional plane perpendicular to said longitudinal extension axis (L-L) of the pusher (92).
