Process for closing tubular or bag-shaped packaging casings and closing device

Sausage stuffing apparatus has overlapping tying components consisting of bent strips arranged symmetrically about casing which can be pivoted towards each other to define orifice whose size is reduced to tie off casing when it is full

Apparatus for dispensing a filling into a flexible casing has at least two overlapping tying components (12). These are arranged symmetrically about the casing and can be pivoted towards each other to define an orifice (6) whose size is then reduced to tie off the casing when it is full. They consist of strips (12) with one end (13) fixed to an outer ring (10) which is concentric with the axis of the casing. The other ends form a second concentric circle inside the first whose diameter can be reduced by pivoting the strips. Each strip has an angle (15) in the surface (12a) which faces inwards.

Ó The present invention relates to a suspension loop made of fusible loop yarn (12) for sausages and similar meat products knotted together at their free ends. The present invention relates to a method for designing a suspension loop arrangement and for producing the suspension loop. The suspension loop according to the invention is characterized in that it has ends of a loop yarn (12) thickened by melting and fastened to each other with a fishing knot (16). The method according to the invention is characterized in that sub-loops (34, 36) of different sizes are formed and the knots (16) are arranged on the side of the smaller sub-loop (34) by carrier strips (32), while the suspension loop is formed by forming a loop from loop yarn. this is laid, knotted, and finally hot-cut outside the loop the hot yarn extending beyond the knot, while the resulting loop yarn ends fuse and thus thicken and, if desired, the thickened ends are fused.
