Abstract (en)

A method for forming packs (10) of stirrups (12), entails arranging or picking up at least one first stirrup (12) at a front input region (E) and picking up the stirrup (12) by way of grip and welding means (5) that can move along a longitudinal direction with respect to the aid input region (E). Then the alternating movement of the grip and welding means (5) into a forward position is produced in order to draw the stirrup (12) into the same forward position. At least one longitudinal auxiliary rod (11) is fixed externally to the stirrup (12), which is retained by the grip and welding means (5). A series of additional stirrups (12), picked up in succession by the grip and welding means (5) at the input region (E), is arranged adjacent to the first stirrup (12) drawn into the forward position, so as to form a pack (10) of stirrups (12). The longitudinal auxiliary rod (11) is fixed externally to at least the last stirrup (12) and finally is cut ahead of the resulting pack (10). The invention also concerns an apparatus for forming packs of stirrups and a pack of stirrups thus formed. <IMAGE>
