Abstract:
Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a mobile strapping device for strapping packaged products using a loop of wrapping strap. The strapping device includes a tensioning device for applying tension to the strap and a connecting device for connecting two overlapping portions of the strap. The tensioning device includes a rotatable tensioning wheel and a tensioning plate. The tensioning wheel is supported by a rocker that is pivotable to change a distance separating the tensioning wheel and the tensioning plate. The mobile strapping device includes a motor that is operably connectable to the rocker or the tensioning wheel such that the motor causes pivoting of the rocker or rotation of the tensioning wheel when operating in a first direction of rotation. In various embodiments, gearing, including a plurality of planetary gear sets, is used to operatively connect the motor to the rocker and the tensioning wheel.

Claim (Index 1):
A strapping device for strapping packaged goods with wrapping strap, said strapping device comprising:\n a base; a rocker pivotably mounted to the base about a rocker axis; a tensioning wheel supported by the rocker, the tensioning wheel being rotatable about a tensioning axis and engageable with the strap; gearing operatively connecting a motor to the tensioning wheel to transfer a driving movement from the motor to the tensioning wheel, the gearing comprising a rotatable gear element; and a locking mechanism configured to lock the gear element, the locking mechanism comprising a clamp that is arranged at a distance from the gear element, the clamp being pivotable about a clamp axis from a release position to a locking position in which the clamp bears against a peripheral clamping surface of the gear element, wherein the clamp has a pivot radius greater than a distance from the clamp axis to the peripheral clamping surface of the gear element, and rotation of the clamp about the clamp axis during movement from the release position to the locking position occurs in a direction of rotation opposite that of the gear element being clamped.
