ABSTRACT:
A device and method for changing the orientation of an object. One such device includes a twist neck that is used in strapping machines. The twist neck includes an ingress portion, which includes an ingress opening formed therein, and a middle portion. The middle portion includes a pathway formed therein. The pathway has a cross-sectional shape that is substantially similar to the cross-sectional shape of a strap that is used in the strapping machine. A strap is urged into the ingress opening in a first orientation and into the pathway, which itself is in a second orientation. When the strap exits the egress opening, it will be in the second orientation. A user can manipulate the orientation of the associated strap by changing the orientation of the pathway.
