Abstract:
A device for heating and melting both ends of a lashing tape of a binding machine at a conclusion of a binding process, the device being disposed in the binding machine and formed of a housing provided with a receiving hole, and an electrical heater disposed in said receiving hole of said housing and provided with a plurality of current conducting and heat generating lines and a plurality of temperature sensing lines, with said temperature sensing lines being connected with a control switch of the binding machine, whereby said temperature sensing lines send a signal to the control switch of the binding machine to prevent the binding machine from operating at such time when the temperature of said device has not reached a predetermined level, whereby said temperature sensing lines send a signal to the control switch of the binding machine to interrupt the power supply to said current conducting and heat generating lines of said device as soon as the temperature of said device has reached the predetermined level, and whereby said temperature sensing lines send a signal to the control switch of the binding machine to resume the power supply to said current conducting and heat generating lines of said device as soon as the temperature of said device has dropped under the predetermined level.
