ABSTRACT:
This invention deals with a machine or method for transferring decalcomania (decals) from a rolled carrier web or strip to a series of articles. The machine supports a supply reel containing the web and transports the web from the supply reel through a photo sensitive indexing assembly, past a decal applying pressure roller assembly, to a take-up tensioning roller powered by a motor for driving the web. The photoelectric or other appropriate device actuates the release of a brake or other holding means from a web clamping position so that a decal on the web is placed in position for transfer to an article. The web tensioning mechanism is provided to hold the web under tension during application of a decal. A photo cell assembly may be operated to adjust the position of the web so that successive decals are precisely at the transfer position. In instances where an interleaf or backing strip is provided on the supply reel along with a web, the machine removes the interleaf before the web reaches the pressure roller assembly. The carrier web is adapted to transport preformed miniaturized irregular shapes that become full sized and regular in form upon being transferred to indicia receiving articles.
