Abstract
A device for dispensing and applying stickers by intermittently engaging and advancing a continuous strip carrying said stickers along a path having an abrupt change of direction which causes the stickers to separate from the strip. A mobile clamp intermittently engages the strip and travels a reciprocal path for incrementally advancing the continuous strip to dispense a sticker.
