  • the transportation disc 1 is equipped with cuts 51 and an elevation 52 for the formation of the bottom fold.
  • the hose section 50 separated by a cutting device 53 is pressed in by a correspondingly formed stamp 54, whereby thereafter clamp arms 14 and 15 are pulled upwardly.
  • the thread 25 winds around the bag, as it is shown for instance, in FIG. 6. Since the winding of the thread about the bag is longer, than in the stretched position from the holding slot 22 up to the bag pocket 24 (compare FIG. 4), the missing thread is pulled through a slot 22 during the pulling up, and thereby strongly engages the bag.
  • the transportation disc 1 is rotated further for 90, so that the half finished bag with the thread and the tag reaches the station III.
  • the forming and the closing of the bag head, as well as the attachment of the holding thread to the bag takes place.
  • FIGS. 11 to 11d Theses steps are shown in FIGS. 11 to 11d, whereby for a better demonstration, the bag and the holding bar are not shown.
  • a form member is provided on the clamp arm 14, on which form member the bag engages with its upper part.

  • the movement performance of the folding sheets 56 and 57 can be ascertained from FIGS. 11, 11a and 11b.
  • the folding sheets guide, at first, a movement in the direction of the arrow D and fold thereby the upper shoulders 58 (FIG. 12) of the bag 60 at a right angle, forwardly, over the edges of the form member 55. From the position in FIG.
  • the folding sheets 56 and 57 are moved in the direction of the arrow E relative to each other, into the position shown in FIG. 11b, so that the bag shoulders are completely folded over FIGS. 13 and 13a.
  • the thus formed head part 61 of the bag is then bent forwardly over the upper edge of the two fold sheets 56 and 57 for 90, which folding sheet moves in the direction of the arrow F (FIGS. 11d as well as FIGS. 14 and 14a).
  • a ram 64 is axially movably guided in a shaft 63, which ram 64 with its one end operates the arms 66swingable about the axis 65, which arm 66 is coupled by means of a gearing 67 with a further swinging arm 68, which is swingable about the axis 69.

  • the controlled holding device 80 slides with a slit 81 over the bag head and brings the upper edge 82 with the thread member 36 into the closing position shown in FIG. 15, whereby the tag 8 is disposed below the edge 82. Thereafter the engagement procedure takes place, whereby the engagement clamp 86 is pushed through the folded head part 61 of the bag. It is thereby unnecessary for the further operation, to engage the tag, as shown in FIG. 7, with its thread end, onto the bag. This thread member can also be bent over the edge of the tag, whereby the connection thread-tag is improved. This thread turnover can be performed in the tag station I, by the device shown in FIGS. 16, 17 and 18.
  • the finished bag is brought to the station IV by rotation of the transportation disc.
