The invention is an improved apparatus for the manual application of plastics stretch films to materials and items to be packaged and secured as a unit, or packaged and secured to a shipping and transporting device. The apparatus is particularly useful for one-hand operation where the other hand must be used to stabilize the materials or items being packaged or secured in some manner. The apparatus consists of an extended core for the supply of plastics stretch film and at least one tubular-like grip facility for the extended core. Said grip facility serving as a manual control device for the speed of paying out the plastics stretch film material, and as a manual facility for applying tension on the film during the course of applying it to materials and items being packaged or secured. Two one-hand devices may be combined by a simple shaft-like member for operation as a two-hand device.

An apparatus for manually applying plastics stretch films for packaging units, comprising: a pair of core means, each said core means of said pair of core means having a first end and a second end, each said core means of said pair of core means being hollow and tube-like; a supply of plastics stretch film on each of said pair of core means, said supply of plastics stretch film on each of said pair of core means being located and rolled upon each respective core means near and spaced slightly from each of said first ends thereof, said spacing of said supply of plastics stretch film on each of said pair of core means from each said first ends being substantially less than the resulting extended spacing of said supply of plastics stretch film on each of said pair of core means from said second ends of each of said core means of said pair of core means; a pair of hand grip means, each of said pair of hand grip means having an inboard open end and an outboard end, one of said pair of hand grip means with its open end being slideably and removably placed upon said second end of one of said core means of said pair of core means, the other of said pair of hand grip means with its open end being slideably and removably placed upon said second end of the other of said core means of said pair of core means, each of said hand grip means of said pair of hand grip means having its open end spaced from its respective supply of said plastics stretch film; and a coupling means, said coupling means being rod-like in configuration, said coupling means being concurrently removably and slideably inserted into said first ends of said core means for coupling said pair of core means together.
