Definitions

  • This invention relates to means for banding, strapping and bundling boxes, cartons, bales and the like, and to unitizing, and more particularly to an improved strapping material per se as well as an improved means for bolding the overlaying ends thereof together.
  • a common method of securing and reinforcing bales, boxes and the like is the use of a steel band tightly encircling the article and having the ends thereof secured together by means of a clip or clasp which is deformed inwardly against the edges of the strap and which also deforms the edges of the strap to provide inter-engaging portions which prevent the strap from slipping out of the clip.
  • a steel band tightly encircling the article and having the ends thereof secured together by means of a clip or clasp which is deformed inwardly against the edges of the strap and which also deforms the edges of the strap to provide inter-engaging portions which prevent the strap from slipping out of the clip.
  • It is a more specific object of the invention to. provide a banding device comprising a flat band of textile material the ends of which are held together in overlapping relationship by means of a metal clip.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide an improved weftless tape of high tenacity suitable for use in banding and reinforcing shipping cartons, boxes and the like.
  • a still further object of the invention is to provide an improved metal clip for securing the overlapped ends of a flat weftless tape of textile material.
  • FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of a shipping carton bound with the binding device of the present invention
  • FIGURE 2 is a plan view showing the overlapped ends of the improved weftless tape secured together in accordance with the invention
  • FIGURE 3 is a sectional view taken along the line IIIIII of FIGURE 2;
  • FIGURE 4 is a plan View showing a slightly modified form of the invention.
  • FIGURE 5 is a perspective view of the improved clip or clasp as it appears before being applied to the strap.
  • FIGURE 6 is an illustration of one of the yarns used in making the tape.
  • a carton 10 formed of cardboard or corrugated paperboard is shown bound with straps 11 each of which is pulled tight about the carton and has overlapping ends which are secured together by means of a metal clip 12.
  • the band 11 is one of the important elements of the invention and is in the form of a weftless tape comprising a plurality of strands of textile material secured or adhered together in side-by-side arrangement to form a tape one yarn thick and several yarns Wide.
  • the individual strands are high tenacity tire cord type yarns and as illustrated in FIGURE 6 an individual yarn 13 comprises two strands 14 and 15.
  • the strands 14 and 15 are each formed of a large multiplicity of continuous textile filaments which are twisted together and the two strands are then twisted or plied together in the opposite direction to form the yarn 13.
  • the yarn 13 may be 1650 denier high tenacity regenerated cellulose or viscose rayon, 2 ply, 5 8 turns per inch in singles and 5 2 turns per inch in doubles. In more common language this means that the strands 14 and 15 are twisted 5 turns per inch in a clockwise direction and the two of them are then twisted together with 5 turns per inch in the counter-clockwise direction.
  • a number of yarns 13 are brought together in side-by-side relationship and thus led through an aqueous bath containing an adhesive. After removal from the bath the yarns, now adhered together to form a tape, are dried under tension or in some instances the tape may be stretched while still wet and dried while being maintained in the stretched condition. It is generally understood that regenerated cellulose or rayon yarn as originally manufactured has a rather high degree of elongation and that this elongation can be reduced to almost any extent desired by a slashing operation wherein the yarn is wetted and dried under tension with or without stretching.
  • the tape of this invention can be made to have various degrees of stretchability or elongation.
  • the strap is to be used, for example, in baling hay, it will be made to have a relatively high degree of extensibility so that when the bale gets wet and expands the strap will not cut into and through the hay and, on the other hand, when used for strapping articles not subject to expansion the band will be treated to reduce the extensibility of the yarn to a minimum.
  • the adhesive may be essentially an aqueous solution of polyvinyl alcohol but preferably it will comprise an emulsion containing polyvinyl acetate, a filler such as clay and a plasticizer, for example, dibutyl phthalate.
  • the adhesive emulsion may include partially hydrolyzed polyvinyl acetate or blends of polyvinyl acetate and polyvinyl alcohol.
  • the adhesive pick-up should be between 15 and 30%, that is, the total weight of the tape should include from about 15% to about 30% adhesive bath material.
  • tire cord type yarn is to be understood to mean a twisted strand comprising of two or more other strands each of which contains a multiplicity of continuous filaments and wherein the individual strands are each twisted in the direction opposite to the twist of the complete strand of yarn.
  • the yarn may be nylon, polyethylene, polypropylene, and acrylic fiber such as Acrilan or other synthetic linear polymer.
  • FIGURE 5 One form of clip which has been found to be satisfactory is shown in FIGURE 5 and consists of a piece of sheet metal bent into the form of a sleeve or flat tube. The overlapping portions of the sheet metal are secured together by spotwelding as'indicated'at 16 or a continuous line of welding may be provided.
  • the metal forming the clip is corrugated as indicated at 17 transversely of the overlapping portions thereof to provide rigidity for the clip and permit the use of relatively light gauge metal.
  • the two ends of the tape are threaded through the sleeve 12 and the tape is drawn taut about the package, after which the sleeve is crimped entirely across the width thereof so that each of the yarns forming the tape is correspondingly crimped as best shown in FIGURE 3 wherein a pair of transverse crimps are indicated at 18 and 19.
  • the crimps are in the form of smooth flowing curves having a radius of curvature greater than the diameter of the yarn strands.
  • the crimps thus provide a snubbing action which restrains the ends of the tape from slipping upon one another and from slipping out of the clip but it is important that the crimps do not sharply bend the yarn strands because a sharp bend will cause a very considerable weakening of the yarn whereby under tension it will always break first at the sharply bent point.
  • the clip is also deformed inwardly against the side edges of the tape as shown at 20 in order to'provide a more secure grip of the tape.
  • the holding quality of the clip may be improved without seriously weakening the strap by providing depressions or inwardly directed dimples 21 within the transverse crimps 18 and 19.
  • the dimples within the crimp 19 are out of alignment with the dimples in the crimp 18. That is to say, the dimples in the crimp 19 cooperate with and deform different ones of the individual yarns of the tape than do the dimples within the crimp 18. This arrangement assures good gripping of many of the individual strands without causing interference between deformed portions of adjacent yarn strands.
  • the binding device of the present invention may be readily removed by cutting the strap with ordinary scissors or with a pocket knife and this is a considerable advantage over steel strapping particularly in those cases where the package is delivered to the home.
  • the edges of the tape are rounded and it will not cut the hands.
  • disposal of the binding device is no problem inasmuch as everything except the small metal clip may be readily burned.
  • This invention is especially valuable for the shipment of furniture inasmuch as it is not necessary to provide a wooden frame around the furniture to prevent the strap from cutting into the finished surface as is necessary with steel band strapping. Numerous other uses and advantages of the invention will readily suggest themselves to those accustomed to the use of steel band strapping.
  • a flat weftless tape comprising a plurality of high tenacity regenerated cellulose tire cords, said cords being arranged in side-by-side touching relation in a single layer, and an adhesive composition holding said cords to one another, said adhesive composition comprising a vinyl resin and a plasticizer.
  • a flat weftless tape comprising a plurality of high tenacity twisted cords of continuous regenerated cellulose filaments, said cords being arranged in side-by-side touching relation in a single layer and an adhesive composition holding said cords to one another, said adhesive composition comprising a vinyl resin and a plasticizer.
