AUTOMATIC BUNDLING TOOL DEVICE WITH GUIDING UNIT FOR DEFORMED AND/OR LOOSE ONE-PIECE TIES

The disclosure relates to an automatic bundling tool device (1), ABT (1), for bundling a bundling good by means of a one-piece-tie (2), OPT (2), in particular for bundling the bundling good by means of a loose cable tie as the one-piece-tie 82), comprising: a holding unit (3) configured to receive, hold, and release a respective OPT (2) which is provided to the ABT (1) from an external reservoir of OPTs (2); a motion guiding unit (4) configured to guide a motion of the holding unit (3) between a receiving position of the holding unit (3) where the holding unit (3) receives, during intended use, the respective OPT (2) and a releasing position of the holding unit (3) where the holding unit (3) releases, during intended use, the respective OPT (2); a claw unit (6) configured to guide a strap (2b) of the respective OPT (2) around the bundling good; and a tip guiding unit (7) with at least one guiding flap element (7a) configured to guide a tip (2a) of the respective OPT (2) towards an entrance (6c) of the claw unit (6) when the respective OPT (2) is moved towards the releasing position by the holding unit (3) moving from the receiving position to the releasing position so as to provide an improved automatic bundling tool device (1), which can process one-piece ties (2) with deformed, that is, non-straight straps (2b) reliably, in particular more reliably than existing solutions.
