ABSTRACT:
The present invention concerns a process for fixing holding clips (1) to a band (2) which is movable in its longitudinal direction, wherein the band (2) is deformed transversely relative to the longitudinal direction in such a way that the spacing of the band edges (3, 4) becomes less than the band width and the internal spacing of the holding elements (5, 6) provided on the holding clip (1) and the part of the band (2) which is between the band edges (3, 4) is curved forwardly out of the plane of the band defined by the band edges (3, 4), the band edges (3, 4) are brought into position between the holding elements (5, 6) and the deformation is substantially removed again so that the band edges (3, 4) substantially resume their original spacing and the holding clip (1) comes into frictional engagement with the band (2), and a corresponding apparatus. In order to provide a process and an apparatus of that kind, which permit rapid and reliable fitting of the holding clips, which are reliable in operation and which in that respect are at the same time relatively inexpensive to produce, it is proposed in accordance with the invention that deformation of the band (2) is triggered by moving the holding clip (1) into the clip position and that release of the deformation is triggered either after a fixedly predeterminable time from triggering of the deformation or by a switch element (8) which directly or indirectly responds to deformation of the band (2).
