Abstract
An apparatus which coacts with a fitment application machine to index a die cut fitment web for precise registration and sealing of fitments to carton die cut areas. The apparatus includes an indexing wheel which has a plurality of circumferentially spaced indentations which engage void areas in the web defined by the fitments upon their removal. A gear and rack assembly intermittently rotate the indexing wheel advancing the web through the fitment application machine for sealing operations. Precise adjustment and indexing of the web is effected by a locating pin which engages corresponding bores in the indexing wheel to lock the wheel at defined pre-set circumferential positions.
