ABSTRACT:
An adjustable and adaptable device or apparatus has been provided for effecting an automatic application and feed of a pressure-sensitive side of a reel of tape and particularly, of tape having lettering such as advertising lettering on its outer side. The apparatus is constructed for use with a conventional belt conveyor on which a glass, resin or plastic, planar-like display panel or sheet length is adapted to be advanced. Means is provided for slidably mounting the apparatus outwardly of the conveyor for longitudinal adjustment thereon. The apparatus has stands that carry a cross-extending, primary, reel-supporting shaft and a cross-extending applicator-arm-mounting secondary shaft in such a manner that one or a group of reel-mounted tapes may be fed, maintained in an aligned relation, and progressively applied to the outer face of an advancing panel. An applicator arm accurately applies a pressure-sensitive adhesive side of tape to an exact position on the panel during its advancing movement, maintains such alignment while applying a minimum requisite amount of pressure to the outer side of the tape to cause it to adhere thereto, and during advancing movement of the panel also provides a corresponding advance and unreeling of the tape until a desired length has been mounted on the panel. A production run of sign panels may be produced with each setting of the apparatus, and it may be then readjusted to a different setting to meet the requirements of a different type of lettering, spacing of lines, etc.
