Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19901220A1] During the closing of bags, pouches or the like with the aid of a clip, the gathered part of the packaging material which is inserted into the open, essentially U-shaped closing clip is pressed along with the clip toward the base thereof in order to ensure that the clip limbs do not pinch portions of the packaging material and thus damage the same when said limbs are subsequently bent. To this end, a closing device is provided which is comprised of a matrix (1) and of a punch (6) such that a hold-down device (10) is laterally fixed on the punch (which can be moved up to the matrix) and the effective area (11) of said hold-down device somewhat protrudes over the working surface (12) of the punch (6) and, in this manner, the gathered part (7) of the packaging material is pressed into the closing clip (3) shortly before pressing the same.
