ABSTRACT:
An adherent applicator system utilizes a glue stick or other commercially available containerized applicator as a source of fluent adhering agent. In the case of treating items such as envelopes that are pre-glued, the present system may utilize water in the applicator, to become the adhering agent. In addition to the adhering agent container, the system includes container mounting provisions for securing the container/applicator of the adhering agent; media guide provisions for guiding the paper or other media past the active face of the glue stick or other adhering agent applicator, an anvil providing a reactive working surface to generate contact pressure between the media and the applicator face, and applicator adjustment provisions to compensate for wear in the system. The system may include guide provisions, including a roller element guide embodiment, for positioning the applicator relative to the surface of the media being treated. An automatic cap remover is also one option, for removing the protective cap of the fluent agent container, preparatory to applying the agent. Different styles of actuator are provided, including lateral path adjustment provisions to facilitate negotiating planar corners of the media being treated.
