Patent ID: 7090734

Claim:
A dispenser for dispensing a material comprised of a double-sidedly self-adhesive carrier, having a release paper covering the adhesive on one side, on a reel, which comprises a press, which during a dispensing operation presses the material to be dispensed onto a product having a first end and a second, which is in continuous movement relative to the dispenser, and is otherwise in a rest position, a cutter by which the material is guided in the direction of the press, said cutter being arranged upstream of the press, and weakens the material by making an incision which severs the double-sided self-adhesive carrier through to the release paper in a culling operation, and a controller comprising at least a) a start contact which, when the first end of the product is passed in front of it, initiates the dispensing operation so that the press is guided out of the rest position into the dispensing position, b) an end contact which, when the second end of the product is passed in front of it, terminates the dispensing operation, so that the press is guided out of the dispensing position into the rest position, and optionally, c) a blade contact which, when the second end of the product is passed in front of it, initiates the culling operation whereby the length of said material applied to said product is determined by the length of said product.
