It is also known to provide the gathered sections of artificial sausage casings at one end with a closure so that after the gathered section has been plugged onto the filler neck of a sausage filling machine, the Mnrsi-darsis can be filled without delay. For example, from the Dutch laid-open specification δ 602 720 a device is known which is attached to a machine for lengthwise shirring of sections of artificial sausage casings on a Haff thorn and serves to close one end of the shirred section. The known device has a compression knife with which the end of the shirred section is stuck in from one side, pressed into the hollow strand formed by the shirred section and twisted therein to form a plug. The plug formation takes place in a cylindrical sleeve which is brought in front of the end of the dome. The remaining part of the gathered section; is located on the raffle mandrel. With this known device you can make a Endverseitluß on a shirred section of a sausage casing, which with oinem

In Fig.l a simple embodiment of a device for performing the method is shown schematically. It has three half-tubes 2 which are attached to a circulating transport system which is formed from two chains 8 which run around the sprockets 12 and 13 on the one hand and around the two sprockets 33 on the other. In the position of the revolving transport system 2, 8 shown in FIG. 1, one of the half-tubes 2 is located centrally in front of a mandrel D on which there is a gathered section i of an artificial "S?"? St <äsrss. A second half-tube 2 is located close to the sprockets 33 on the upper _{fragments of the chains S 3} and a third half-tube is attached to it approximately in the middle of the lower fragments of the chains 8 Shirring of sausage casings. On the mandrel D, the shirring of the Vurstdana section may have been made in the machine. But the shirring of the section can also have been done on another thorn. and the gathered sausage casing section 1 can then have been pushed onto the mandrel D. The gathered "Siurstdarmabschnitt 1 is relative to the mandrel D with the help of a longitudinal

The direction in which the shirred sausage casing section 1 is pushed down from the mandrel D by means of the abutment 3 can have the same direction as the direction in which the section ran during the shirring by the shirring machine. This is the case, for example, when a machine is used for shirring, as is described in the previously mentioned Dutch laid-open specification 6 602 720. The direction in which the gathered sausage casing section 1 is pushed off the mandrel by means of the abutment 3 can also have the opposite sense as the gathering direction. This is the case, for example, when a machine is used for shirring in which several shirring mandrels are present ₅ which are attached to a type of turret head and of which one in each case is inserted into the shirring head of the before shirring a sausage casing section

Roll of 29 running adhesive strips can be seen in Fig.l. The pleating wheels Ik and 15 are driven by a chain wheel 16 via a chain 17 and a chain wheel 18 which has a common shaft with the lower pleating wheel 15. On the other hand, see the sprocket 16 on the same shaft 19 as the sprockets 12 and 13 3 by which the chains 8 of the circulating transport system are driven. By suitable selection of the size ratios between the chain wheels 12, 16 and 18 on the one hand and between the chain wheel 18 and the driven pleating wheel 15 on the other hand, the transport speed of the pleating wheels is adapted to the transport speed of the chains 8. The pressure rollers do not have their own drive. They start moving by themselves when pulling through the pleated small part of the sausage casing section. At the same time, the adhesive strips running in from above and below are automatically pulled off the adhesive tape rolls 28 and 29 j, which are located on a roll-off core 26 and 27 (FIG (Fig. 2) are pressed against each other,

If a small part of the sausage intestine section is stuck, push it into the hollow strand formed by it, then the piston rod 36 is provided with a head 37 f which is slightly smaller in diameter than that of the mandrel on which the sausage intestine section was gathered.

It is particularly advantageous to process shirred sausage casing sections in the machine, which are ruffled at their one end to be closed in such a way that, in the absence of an external cohesive force, a small part of the shirred sausage casing will have the transverse folds resulting from the shirring due to the elastic forces of the sausage casing material jump up by yourself. The ability to open the transverse folds can be given to the shirred sections that, when shirring the relevant part of the sausage casing section, conditions are met under which the shirring folds are poorly shirred and consequently only loosely cohesive with one another.

For producing an end closure on gathered sausage casing sections, their transverse folds on the one to be closed Can pop up at the end of its own accord

an embodiment of the device according to the invention, which can be found in FIGS. 2 to k, in particular with reference to FIGS. 5 to 8, is advantageous. The effect of the inadequate port to be used: a small part of the sausage casing section can be seen from FIGS. When the abutment 3, after it has pushed the gathered sausage section 1 down from the mandrel D and onto one of the half-tubes 2 (Fig. 5) _{3 is} pulled back onto the mandrel D (Fig. 6), the transverse folds of the poorly gathered small part jump of the sausage gut, so that the end of the sausage intestine projects into the ejection port 4 is located _a in the front plate. Above and below the discharge opening Ά there is a slide 6, which is displaced by means of an air cylinder 6a or 6b in such a way that the two slides pinch the end of the sausage casing between them (FIG. 7). The shirred sausage casing remains on the half-tube 2 until then, in whose specially designed end part 2a it is clamped. When the end of the sausage casing 1 is clamped between the slides 6, the half-tube 2 moves a small distance away from the front plate 5 (FIG. 7) so that the folds that have cracked open at the end of the sausage casing section are practically completely unfolded. After the end part of the Wurstdana section has been unfolded, the slides 6 are in their starting positions.
