Abstract:
1. An outsert application system comprising: a vacuum assembly for accommodating passage of a vacuum to an engagement surface at an engagement location of said vacuum assembly; and a pivot arm that is rotatably coupled at a first end thereof to a pivot location of said vacuum assembly, said vacuum assembly being adapted to rotate with respect to the pivot arm about a first axis, a second end of said pivot arm being adapted for rotation about a second axis that is substantially parallel with said first axis, wherein said outsert application system further includes a translation device that includes a cam device that rotates with respect to third axis that is separate from both the first and second axes, wherein the rotation of the cam device causes the first axis to move with respect to the second axis as the vacuum assembly rotates about the first axis such that an outsert is transferable from a group of outserts by the vacuum assembly to an article while moving at a rotational speed that is substantially similar to a speed of movement of the article to which the outsert is to be applied.
