Abstract
An apparatus and method especially adapted for applying and cutting a predetermined length of sidewall in strip form on a transfer roll. The strip material is carried by a strip applier assembly which is mounted on a supporting structure for movement of the strip applier assembly toward the transfer roll to carry the strip into position for stitching the end of the strip on the roll so that a predetermined length can be wound on the roll. The strip applier assembly has a primary means for moving the assembly away from the transfer roll to clear a knife assembly which is pivotally mounted on the supporting structure. Tilting of the knife assembly moves an anvil into a cutting position proximate to the strip. The strip applier assembly also has a secondary means for moving the assembly away from the knife before the knife is retracted to prevent smearing of the white sidewall.
