ABSTRACT:
A newspaper bundler comprises a rigid frame assembly (FIGS. 1 and 2) for enabling newspapers to be easily stacked into a pile (12). The frame includes a U-shaped crosswise holder (14) whose upstanding opposing side arms are made of sheet metal or plastic channels (22). A stack of paper bundling straps (26) is positioned on the crosswise portion. The channels each have a pocket for holding fan-folded end portions (30) of the stack of paper straps. One end portion of each strap is coated with adhesive (32) so when the end portions of a strap are pulled from their pockets, they can be attached together around the pile of papers to securely bundle them so that they can be carried easily with one hand (FIG. 5). The entire bundle is recyclable at a paper mill. In lieu of sheet metal side channels with pockets, the side pockets can be formed of tubular members (FIG. 6) bent and shaped to form pockets for the fan-folded ends of the straps. Also, the entire frame assembly can be a single, integral injection-molded piece of plastic.
