ABSTRACT:
An applicator for use in conjunction with the top of a work surface, designed for multiple applications enabling a user to either separate an adhesive sheet material from its release paper for application to a substrate or apply transfer tape to a work copy. The invention is made up of a frame, two tension rods immovably affixed between to spaced-apart side members of the frame, and a support axle operably attached to said frame so as to enable said support axle to rotate. The frame is made up of two generally vertically spaced-apart side members affixed to a generally horizontal platform. Each of the side members are generally identically dimensioned, and define a slot at the top edge adapted to accept one end of the support axle whereby the support axle is free to be rotated. The support axle is adapted to frictionally hold a standard roll of commonly available transfer tape or vinyl sheet material. An additional support rod adapted to hold a roll of sheet material is located to the rear of the device, whereby an exceedingly long vinyl substrate or copy can be stored until ready for use, and subsequently, unrolled onto the work surface. A clasping device may be used in combination with the applicator as a means by which a bubble-free, smooth adhesion of a sheet material to a planar surface may achieved, minimizing undesired contact between the adhesive surface of the transfer sheet material and a contact surface.
