ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for automatically forming and tying a decorative bow includes a mechanism for delivering ribbon from a spool and cutting a piece of ribbon therefrom, a transfer mechanism for picking up the ribbon piece and carrying it to a forming station where the ends of the ribbon piece are folded over one another and gathered on the centerline by squeezing the overlapping portions together, and a tying mechanism which delivers a piece of tie wire to the gathered center portion of the bow, wraps it there around, and twists the ends of the tie together to secure the finished bow. An identical pair of folding, gathering and tying mechanisms is served by a centrally positioned ribbon cutting and delivery mechanism, the latter operating on an overhead gantry which simultaneously serves both stations.
