Claim 0:
1. A strapping device comprising:
a base comprising a tensioning plate;
a rocker pivotable between a first rocker position and a second rocker position;
a rotatable tensioning wheel that is pivotable with the rocker such that movement of the rocker from the first rocker position to the second rocker position moves the tensioning wheel away from the tensioning plate and movement of the rocker from the second rocker position to the first rocker position moves the tensioning wheel toward the tensioning plate;
a friction-welding device movable between a release position and a welding position;
a motor comprising a drive shaft rotatable in a first rotational direction to cause the rocker to pivot from the first rocker position to the second rocker position and in a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction to cause the friction welding device to move from the release position to the welding position; and
a transmission mechanism operably connecting the drive shaft of the motor to the friction-welding device such that rotation of the drive shaft in the second rotational direction actuates the transmission mechanism to move the friction-welding device from the release position to the welding position.
