Title: Tying the neck of a bag with paperless adhesive tape
Inventor: FOSTER ROGER THOMAS
IPC: B65B51/06
Filed: 2003-07-11
Abstract: The sealing of plastic bags filled with a particular product, for example bread, is achieved by folding various lengths of adhesive tape (A) around the gathered neck (10) of the bag using a bag tying machine.
