ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for laminating flexible magnetic segments onto the plastic substrates, such as during the in-line production of shower curtains and/or curtain liners. The apparatus, which is configured for use with typical shower curtain and/or shower curtain liner producing machines, includes a substantially planar upper work surface for receiving the plastic substrate and at least one applicator unit located adjacent the work surface which automatically laminates a flexible magnetic strip and a plastic cover patch onto the curtain. Three applicator units are preferably utilized, with one such unit substantially aligned with the center of the curtain and the remaining two units being located along the longitudinal edges thereof. In operation, a thin, flexible plastic film is unwound onto an assembly table whereupon it is stopped at a predetermined position. In a first mounting assembly portion of each corresponding applicator unit, a predetermined length of a flexible magnetic ribbon is advanced from a first feed roll and a portion is severed therefrom. This severed portion is thereafter picked up by an applicator arm and transported to a second mounting assembly, where it is deposited upon a web of material utilizes to form the corresponding cover patches. Subsequently, a portion of the web is severed by a die-punch and the resultant cover patch and accompanying magnetic segment are moved into contact relation with the flexible substrate and bonded thereto.
