ABSTRACT:
An improved mechanism feeds loops or ties into clip attachment apparatus such as a clipper. The loops preferably have tie portions, the carrier may be a tape, and the loops should be in substantially equidistant series on the carrier. The carrier passes around rollers and a dancer, and along a stationary plate. Strip plates are preferably pivotally mounted adjacent the stationary plate. A loop and carrier drive indexes the loops on the carrier toward the clip attachment apparatus. A strip plate drive pivots the strip plates to and from positions in which the strip plates strip a loop adjacent the clip attachment apparatus at least partially from the carrier. The strip plate drive pivots the strip plates to catch the loop adjacent the clip attachment apparatus between the strip plates and pull the loop at least partially from the carrier. The strip plate drive pivots a preferred upper strip plate to catch the loop that is adjacent the clip attachment apparatus between the upper strip plate and a preferred lower strip plate, to pull the tie portion of the loop from the carrier. The loop and carrier drive indexes the carrier in the area of the strip plates a distance corresponding to one loop following each action of the strip plate drive. A loop brake brakes the carrier to allow the strip plates to better strip the loop at least partially from the carrier, the loop brake braking the carrier while the strip plates do the stripping.
