In the conventional heat sealing apparatus, a linear seal shape as shown in FIG. 5 and an arc seal shape as shown in FIG. 6 are formed. However, it is technically difficult to make them changeable from the insulator that holds the nichrome wire or the nichrome ribbon, the material of the insulator, and the structure that fixes these to the seal base. There is no heat-sealing device that can appropriately change the seal shape according to the size and shape of the package, and it is possible to perform heat-sealing and seal cutting to any desired shape other than the initially set shape. Did not exist.

For this reason, the packaged object packaged by a heat sealing device having a seal shape that does not match the external shape of the packaged product not only has a poor finish after packaging, but also has a seal cut by the heat sealing device. When subjecting the packaged product inserted in the wrapped tube to heat shrink wrapping, the shrinked film or sheet does not adhere to the packaged product, and the film or the like partially loosens, loosens, triangles, squares, etc. The burrs or protruding portions referred to as "one" are generated, and the appearance of the package is poor, and when collective packaging or the like is performed, a sufficient binding force cannot be obtained, which causes collapse of the load.

[0008] Therefore, when packaging with a conventional heat sealing device, loosened, loosened, and protruding portions of the heat-sealed and heat-shrink-wrapped film are again sealed and removed, and the package conforming to the outer shape of the packaged object is removed.

Therefore, the heat sealing device of the present invention can change the shape of the seal by making the shape of the seal variable, and the heat seal device of the present invention can cope with various shapes and sizes of objects to be packaged in one device. By changing the seal wire to a shape that is in close contact with the outer shape, heat sealing can be performed that matches the shape of various items to be packaged, especially when used before heat shrink packaging, the finish is beautiful, An object of the present invention is to provide a heat sealing device capable of performing heat shrink wrapping with a good yield.

The plurality of support members 16 supported on the pins 14 protruding from the chain 12 are made of a heat-resistant synthetic resin, for example, an engineering plastic such as an epoxy resin, or a heat-resistant / insulating material such as glass or ceramic.
Not contacting the adjacent support member 16 and supporting member 16
The diameter of the support member 16 is set so that the distance between the outer periphery of the support member 16 and the support member 16 is about 0.5 to 1.5 mm. In this embodiment, the distance between the centers of the support members 16 and therefore the pins 14 is set to about 12 mm, and the diameter of the support members 16 is about 12 mm and the length is about 23 mm.
The distance between the adjacent support members 16 is set to be less than 1 mm. In this manner, by providing the support member 16 for supporting the nichrome ribbon 40 with a small interval, the displacement of the nichrome ribbon 40 when the supporting means 10 of the heating means 40 is deformed is prevented, and the receiving rubber described later is securely formed. It is configured so as to be able to face and abut with 42.
