Abstract
A hand device for transferring a film, of, for example, adhesive, covering, or colored material, from a backing strip to a substrate. A supply spool and a take-up spool for the backing strip are rotatably mounted in a housing. An applicator tip is arranged on the housing and includes an application edge around which the backing strip runs. Furthermore, a brake mechanism, active during the functional operation of the hand device is provided. The brake mechanism has a locking device which interacts with one of the spools. To guarantee a compact design and economical fabrication, the locking device is arranged to be integral with the applicator tip.
