Abstract
The end portions of a flexible strip (46,48,50,52) are deflected from the path (54) of an automatic end cementer (10) along which the strip (46,48,50,52) is moved into engagement with cement appliers (62,94) spaced from the path (54). The weight of the unsupported leading end portion (92) causes the end (56) of the strip (46,48) to be deflected downwardly into contact with a cement applier (62) adjustably positioned below the path (54). The trailing end portion (58) is deflected upwardly by changing the direction of the path (54) for the strip (50,52) to lift the trailing end portion (58) from the path (54) into contact with a cement applier (94) adjustably positioned above the path (54).
