Summary:A strap accumulator (18) is disclosed for use between an associated strapping apparatus (10) and a power-driven strap dispensing mechanism (14). The accumulator (18) is configured to receive strap (S) from the dispenser (14), with the accumulated strap (S) being periodically withdrawn by the associated strapping apparatus (10). The accumulator (18) includes a housing (20) which defines an interior cavity within which strap (S) is accumulated, with a disc-like strap guide (44) mounted generally centrally of the cavity which guides strap (S) from within the housing (20) through one of the sidewalls (22 or 24) thereof. The generally central mounting of the strap guide (44) within the cavity permits the accumulated strap (S) to form an elongated loop between the strap guide (44) and an edge wall (26) of the housing (20) without any tendency to disfigure or damage the strap (S).
