Apparatus for activating heat shrinkable ribbon on disposable garments and other articles

摘要

Apparatus for activating heat shrinkable ribbon on disposable garments and other articles in which the ribbon is absorbent of electromagnetic radiation and is bombarded by infrared rays for a time long enough to activate and shrink the ribbon. Heated convection air may be directed past the infrared radiators toward the ribbon to cool the radiators and maintain a desired spectral distribution of the radiation.
