(under subclass 29) Apparatus in which the tensioning of the binder about the material involves the intertwisting of the local spaced portions of the binder, such twisting being employed for joining the binder portions together.
(1) Note. Twisters often include a means to bend over a projecting twisted end so as to insert or tuck such end into or against the material to avoid a protruding point which might be dangerous in handling.
