ABSTRACT:
An assembly or apparatus for smoothing and removing bubbles of air or a solvent, such as water, for example, from between the transfer films of decals and the upwardly disposed surfaces of dish-like articles such as pieces of dish-like pottery ware, glass or glassceramic ware or the like to whose upper surfaces the transfer films have been applied as by hand or by a decal applying apparatus such as is well known in the art. The assembly comprises at least one stellate, stelliform, or star-like wheel including a plurality of rays or radial fingers of a resilient material such as rubber, for example, and the wheel or wheels are actuated and rotated so that the tips of the rays or fingers move across the transfer film, applied on a surface of a dish-like article, with a wiping or brushing squeegee-like action or operation to smooth the film and remove bubbles entrapped between the film and such surface of the article.
