Abstract
A film applying apparatus for applying a film including a photosensitive layer to a printed circuit board and the like, a film holding member for wrapping the leading edge of a film and stationary-knife support members are supported on the same fore-and-aft guide rails for synchronous reciprocating movement relative to a film passage plane; the film holding member is floatingly supported by floating mechanisms for movement in a direction perpendicular to a base-plate conveyance plane I--I; and the film holding member is driven by the tacking member via pressure mechanisms to move between a position in which it is spaced from the stationary-knife support members, and a position in which it comes in contact with the stationary-knife support members.
