ABSTRACT:
A clearing and reloading assembly is configured for use with a strapping machine of the type having an infeed arrangement at about a strap material inlet to the machine, a feed assembly and a chute, the strapping machine defining a strap material holding region between the infeed arrangement and the feed assembly. The strapping machine is configured to receive first and second courses of associated strap material, position, tension and seal the strap material around a load. The clearing and reloading assembly includes a body, a driven wheel and a bearing element opposite of the driven wheel. The bearing element and the driven wheel define a strap path therebetween. A strap cutter is disposed for movement into and out of the strap path. A first peripheral portion of the driven wheel is configured to define a gap between the first portion and the bearing element such that the strap material can slip therebetween. A second peripheral portion of the driven wheel is configured such that the strap material is gripped between the second portion and the bearing element, and a third peripheral portion of the driven wheel is configured such that the strap material is pinched between third portion and the bearing element. The cutter is movable into the strap path to sever the strap material.
