Abstract:
1. A casing brake assembly for applying a frictional force to a tubular or bag-shaped packaging casing being arranged on a filling tube of an apparatus for filling and closing said tubular or bag-shaped packaging casing, like a clipping machine, for limiting the movement of said tubular or bag-shaped packaging casing at least while being filled, wherein the filling tube has a longitudinal axis; wherein the casing brake assembly comprises at least one braking and sealing body which is reversibly movable between a release position, in which the braking and sealing body is at least partially moved away from the filling tube, and a brake position in which the braking and sealing body at least approximately completely surrounds the filling tube, and which comprises at least two free ends; and wherein the casing brake assembly further comprises at least two support elements for supporting and reversibly moving the at least one braking and sealing body between the release position and the brake position in a plane at least approximately vertically to the longitudinal axis of the filling tube.
