ABSTRACT:
To apply a length of flexible tubing to the filling pipe 5 of a multiple-spout head 6 for making a casing section 4, which is closed at one end and is to be processed further on a combined filling and closing machine, a carrying element 2 having a tubular end portion 12 is used, which is carried by a tubing feeder 1 operated to feed the tubing 3, which has been withdrawn from a roll 8 of tubing. To apply the length of tubing to the filling pipe, the carrying element 2 is moved axially into engagement with the end portion 13 of the filling pipe. Gripping elements 19 are provided to retain the length of tubing on the carrying element 2. The tubular end portion 12 of the carrying element 2 is designed so that it surrounds the end portion 13 of the filling pipe when the carrying element has been axially moved toward the filling pipe, and that the tubular end portion 12 of the filling element has one or more notches 18, through which one or more gripping elements 19 can be pivotally moved to retain the tubing 3 on the end portion 13 of the filling pipe. Feed rollers held against rotation are used as gripping elements to retain the tubing 3 on the tubular end portion 12 of the carrying element 2. The center lines of said feed rollers 15 lie approximately in the same plane as the points at which the gripping elements 19 engage the end portion 13 of the filling pipe.
