ABSTRACT:
A portable taping machine for wrapping an elongated article with continuous strip material includes a housing adapted to be gripped by an operator and defines an internal cavity for receiving the article and a passageway communicating with the internal cavity. A taping head including a C-shaped drive wheel with integral gear teeth formed around its periphery is mounted on the housing for rotation about a longitudinal axis which extends through the internal cavity. The drive wheel has a peripheral discontinuity for lateral reception of the article into the internal cavity when the peripheral discontinuity is coextensive with the passageway. When the peripheral discontinuity is substantially non-coextensive with the passageway in the housing, entry of the elongated article into the internal cavity or egress from the internal cavity are prevented. A spindle on the taping head removably supports a supply roll of the strip material on an axis offset from the longitudinal axis of the internal cavity. A motor mounted within the housing rotates a drive gear and with it a pair of pinion gears also drivingly engaged with the drive wheel. The pinion gears are engaged with the drive wheel at locations which are dimensionally no less than the width of the passageway in the housing extending into the internal cavity such that at least one of the pinion gears is in engagement with the drive wheel at all times.
