Abstract
A method and apparatus for applying individual flat material segment to be separated from a flat material web to products. The products are moved continuously past the application device. The device includes a separation unit for separating the flat material segment from the flat material web. The device also includes an application unit for applying the flat material segment to the product, and a buffer unit between the separation unit and the application unit for the intermediate storage of the flat material segment so as to decouple the feeds at the separation unit and the application unit.
Claims18
An application device for applying an individual flat material segment which is to be separated from a flat material web to a product which is moved continuously past the application device, comprising:
- a separation unit for separating the flat material segment from the flat material web;
- an application unit for applying the flat material segment to the product;
- and
- a buffer unit between the separation unit and the application unit for the intermediate storage of the flat material segment.
A method of applying individual flat material segments that are to be separated from a flat material web, to products that are moved continuously past the application device, comprising:
- feeding the flat material web by means of a feed unit,
- separating a flat material segment from the flat material web by a separation unit;
- applying the flat material segment to the product by an application unit;
- and
- decoupling the feed of the flat material web at the separation unit from the feed of the flat material web segment at the application unit using a buffer unit.
