Abstract

See full text

Apparatus for bunching vegetables and like articles and for placing a closure or tag thereon comprising a plurality of arms (27) for holding and stretching an elastic band and a channel (34) along which is fed a strip (15) of tags. As the elastic band is stretched taut to a smaller cross section, it intersects the tag and enters the aperture (20) therein. With relaxation of the elastic band the tag is pulled from the strip and remains on the band to identify the bunched articles. Bending of the strip by the arm end (45) weakens the strip connecting webs (17) to allow separation of the end tag.
