Abstract
An apparatus for color highlighting an image portion of a photocopy including a housing provided with a storage compartment for storing a roll of transfer material and an opening for extraction of the leading end of the transfer material. A pressure member is disposed in the housing in the proximity of the opening and adapted to exert pressure or heat and pressure on the transfer material being extracted and permit transfer of part of the transfer material onto a surface of a photocopy for receiving the transfer material. A pair of guiding members prevent the transfer material from contacting the pressure member when the apparatus is not in the state of operation. In operation, the action of extraction of the transfer material and the action of exertion of pressure are accomplished by the movement of the housing.
