Abstract
An adhesive dispensing and applying device is disclosed suitable for applying lengths of adhesive onto an article from a convolutely wound roll of transfer adhesive disposed on a liner and convolutely wound about a core. The device has an applicating roller mounted in the forward portion of a housing. A tape support, rotatably mounted in the housing engages the core of the roll in an interlocking engagement and holds the axis of the core in a parallel spaced relationship to the axis of the applicating roller. Thus, the adhesive and liner are held in alignment with respect to the surface of the applicating roller. A takeup roller mounted in the housing receives and holds spent liner after the adhesive has been applied to the substrate. Means associated with the tape support transmit rotational motion from the tape support to the takeup roller so that when the tape support is rotated by unwinding the adhesive, the takeup roller is simultaneously rotated in the opposite direction. Brake means associated with the device can be activated to stop rotation of the support and thereby the adhesive whereby the adhesive applied to the substrate will be severed from the adhesive remaining in the device as the device is moved.
