Patent ID: 8047239

Claim:
A method for binding elongate objects together by means of at least one wire, two claws provided with guide surfaces for the wire being guided down over the objects to be bound together, after which a wire is fed along the guide surface of one claw and across to the guide surface of the other claw, so that it is shaped into a wire loop surrounding the said objects on three sides, wherein the wire is fed to the guide surface of one claw via a first guide arrangement in an arrangement which is rotatable relative to the claws, and is fed away from the second claw via a second guide arrangement in the rotatable arrangement, after the wire has been fed to the second guide arrangement, the wire is fixed therein while a retracting force is applied to the wire to bring about stretching of the latter around the objects to be bound together, the rotatable arrangement is made to rotate for twisting-together of the two parts of the wire for binding together the objects the wire surrounds, and, during twisting together, the wire is held in each guide arrangement in the rotatable arrangement such that the wire length necessary for twisting-together of the wire parts is allowed to be drawn out while a resistance is overcome.
