Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0816228A2] There is disclosed a method of packaging loose fill packing material in bags for use as cushions in shipping cartons, wherein a length of flexible plastic tubing is gathered to form a coil from which successive sections can be pulled; the coil is positioned about the outlet of a packing material dispenser; a first section of the tubing is pulled from the coil, closed at its lower end, filled with packing material. A second section of the tubing is pulled from the coil; the tube is drawn together between the two sections, the closed ends of which one then secured; and screwing the tubing between the two sections. The bag sealer and cutter has a guide for directing a portion of flexible tubing which has been gathered together along a predetermined path in a direction which is generally perpendicular to the axis of the tubing, a pair of tape applicators positioned side-by-side for simultaneously applying bands to the gathered together portion of the tubing as the tubing travels along the path, and a knife disposed in the path of the tubing after the applicators for cutting the tubing apart between the bands of tape.
