TRANSFERRING & PLACING DECORATIVE ARTICLES

摘要

This invention relates to the transferring and placing of decorative articles from a carrier tape onto a substrate. …Decorative articles (8) are located at spaced intervals over apertures (2) provided in a carrier tape (l). An elongate piston rod (l6) is actuable by a piston (l4) to move along a linear path. A toothed wheel 3 min is rotatable and is formed diametric with channels l3 therein. Teeth (l2) of the wheel guide the tape (l) to sequentially align the apertures carrying said articles with a predetermined rotational position wherein the piston rod (l6) can move along the linear path through a channel (l3) to act thereby on the decorative article to transfer and place it on a substrate (9).
