ABSTRACT:
A strapping system in which edge protectors are disposed between a load and tensioned strapping applied about the load in a strapping station. Edge protector applicator assemblies located on opposite sides of the load position edge protectors adjacent top and bottom surface edge portions of the load when the load is raised above a deck. The edge protectors are folded over and retained on edges of the load upon application of the tensioned strapping about the load to protect the edges of the load from the tensioned strapping. The strapping system includes a movable frame with spaced support members disposed below the deck and aligned with spaces in the deck. The frame is raised and lowered so that the support members of the frame extend through the spaces of the deck to lift the load above the deck to allow positioning of the lower edge protectors adjacent to the load. The frame is guided as it is raised and lowered by rotatable shafts aligned substantially parallel with corresponding side portions of the frame. Each shaft includes a miter gear disposed on its end portions for engagement with a miter gear of an adjacent shaft to permit synchronized rotation of the shafts. A pinion gear rotatable with the shaft and engagable with a rack on an adjacent side portion of the frame guide the frame as it is raised and lowered.
