Abstract:
1. An apparatus for dispensing strip materials onto at least one moving substrate, comprising: a frame extending transversally of a substrate path of the at least one moving substrate; at least two guide arms, each guide arm having a respective supporting means to movably attach the guide arm to the frame and having a respective dispensing means for dispensing strip materials; and a guide aim positioning system, comprising: wherein the guide arm positioning system further comprises at least two friction braking means, each of the friction braking means coupled to a corresponding one of the friction drive means and supported by the frame and configured to restrict movement of the corresponding guide arm; wherein each friction braking means comprises a friction surface, the friction surface configured to press against a component of the corresponding friction drive means and restrict motion of the corresponding guide arm; and wherein a horseshoe-shaped member comprises the friction surface.
