SAUSAGE CASING AUTOMATIC CLOSING SYSTEM ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This relates to apparatus for effecting the closing of one end of a shirred casing strand. A strand is to be automatically presented to a previously developed closer in alignment therewith and under a preselected pressure. A transfer device is provided for receiving a doffed strand, transferring the strand transversely and then moving the strand longitudinally so that an end of the strand engages the closer. A gripping mechanism is provided which includes a pair of jaws having opposing clamp elements of a generally V-shape or angle cross section. The two jaws are simultan- eously movable either together or apart and are urged apart by compression springs. A fluid cylinder actuated linkage urges the jaws towards closed positions. By varying the closing force, the clamp members can be first moved to a pre- set spacing providing a receptacle into which a doffed strand of a predetermined size may be readily slid. Then by increas- ing the the pressure of the cylinder, the strand may he suf- ficiently tightly gripped to prevent relative movement during the closing operation. The closer members are separated to release a closed strand at the end of the closing operation. By varying the pressure to the cylinder in the receptacle forming stage of the clamping members, the size of the re- ceptacle may be adjusted in accordance with variations in size of casing strands to be handled. A control cystem for the automatic operation of the transfer device in conjunction with the closing device is provided.
