ABSTRACT:
A strap dispenser is mounted for vertical movement on a frame from an elevated rest position to a strap dispensing position therebelow. The dispenser includes a coil of strap that is clamped by a hub, and upon demand for strap, the hub is permitted to fall from the rest position to transform the potential energy of the strap coil to rotational energy through a one-way clutch, which overcomes the inertia of the strap coil and initiates its rotation. When the demand for strap ceases, a mechanism is actuated in response thereto for positively holding the hub against rotation with respect to the shaft, and the inertia of the formerly rotating coil is utilized to return the hub mechanism to a rest position.
