. The "invention relates to methods of and-inachines or devices for wrapping articles as separate units and is particularly 'addrcssed. to,the
' problem 01' wrapping. and sealing soft. 1ml flat objects ofsgenerallyrectangular form, such as surgical dressing units comprising a strip of surgical adhesive and a complemental absorbent pad or dressing. Articles of this type are more or -less"conventional and are:extensively"used as emergencyp'or first-aid dressings in tires-treatment of 'minor cuts and other injuries; It is desirablefthat they reach the consumer in a sterile I state andthis' requires. complete individual wrapping andsealin'g; It is further desirable that this be'done by:machine toikeeppace with the machine production of the dressings and to eliminate *theldrawback' of manual handlingand its effective sealing of commodities. oft-he; nature 6 stated with 1' particular emphasis .:on first-aid dressin'gsfi I ="-'I'he -natur e, characteristic features and scope 10 claims.
