ABSTRACT:
A ribbon wheel (27) to which lengths of ribbon (22) from spools (65) are wound for ultimate severance into ribbon strands (29). Ribbon material (23) advances from posted spools (65) in compartment (61) of frame (36) of apparatus (20) to their collection at and through slot (67) in top panel (34) of frame (36) for apparatus (20). A post (66) in compartment (61) guides ribbon material (23) to slot (67). The collected ribbon lengths (22) are wound a number of revolutions upon the wheel's peripheral surface (25) formed between the wheel's discs (38, 39) by means of shaft (48) and handle (51) that rotates wheel (27). Recesses (31) in wheel (27) provide points at which the ribbon lengths (22) are severed after ties (85) tie them together at other particular recesses (31) to form multiple ribbon strands (29). A mechanism (75/74) is provided on frame (36) for curling ribbon lengths (22) prior to their introduction to wheel (27). A clip (78) is mounted on frame (36) to prevent slippage of ribbon lengths (22), integral to ribbon material (23), back through slot (67) after severance of them on wheel (27). A revolution counter (54) on frame (36) cooperates with its tripper (55) on wheel (27) to record the number of revolutions undertaken by wheel (27) from which calculation of the number of ribbon strands (29) may be made.
