摘要:
A tying wire (a) is puled out from a continuous stock. It is then bent to form a U-shaped fold of an appropriate length. The U-shaped loop (b) of the tying wire is wound around an overlapped portion to be tied of an article or articles (E). A front end of the U-shaped fold is wound around the other end (c) by a rotatable hook (G), thus finally twisting both ends. The tying wire (a) is cut at a rear end an appropriate timing. The apparatus for tying is made up of a mechanism for forming a U-shaped loop of the tying wire, a mechanism for guiding the U-shaped loop to wind it around an external surface of a portion to be tied of the article or articles, a mechanism for twisting the closed end and the other end of the U-shaped loop, and a mechanism for cutting the tying wire at an appropriate timing to an appropriate length.
