Abstract:
A device for transferring a film from a backing tape onto a substrate, said device comprising:a housing; a supply reel rotatably mounted on said housing; a take-up reel rotatably mounted on said housing; an application member movably disposed on said housing for movement between a non-use position and a use position in which said application member is biased towards said non-use position by an elastic pull-back force; and a displacing device with an actuation member accessible from outside said device; wherein: when said actuation member is actuated with manual actuating force, said application member moves into said use position; said application member automatically moves into said non-use position when at least one of the following conditions is met: the manual actuating force is complete, or said application member is lifted from the substrate, or a pressing force pushing said application member against the substrate is reduced below a certain value, or stops altogether; said application member is a component separate from said actuation member and is movably mounted in said housing in a guide of its own.
