ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are disclosed for applying a strap, which may have identifying indicia printed thereon, about an article, such as a piece of luggage, or other package. The article is placed within an opening defined by a closed loop support frame, and one end of the strapping material is engaged by a carrier pin attached to a chain which travels around the support frame. A loop is formed on the leading end of the tape surrounding the carrier pin, such that when the carrier pin is moved around the closed loop frame, and around the article, the tape is drawn from a supply reel and encircles the article. At the end of its circumferential trip around the article, the movement of the carrier pin is ceased, and the free, leading end of the strap is adhesively secured to a following portion of the strap so as to form a closed loop around the article. The strapping material is then severed, and movement of the luggage with respect to the support frame disengages the strap loop from the carrier pin and enables removal of the article from the apparatus.
