Device to place films in a moulding machine

A machine for moulding an object, said machine comprising male and female mold parts, at least one of said parts being mobile with respect to the other part along a first direction, said machine further comprising a device to place films with specific formats in the female mold part of said machine, said films being intended to at least partly coat the lateral surface and one extremity face of said object, said device including:

• (a) a first magazine containing a plurality of first films, each designed to coat one face extremity of said object;
• (b) a second magazine containing a plurality of second films, each designed to coat the lateral surface of said object;
• (c) one member having an external shape corresponding to that of the object to be coated and able to respectively take from said first and second magazines first and second films;
• (d) first and second means to apply and keep in place said first and second films against said member;
• (e) means connected to said taking member and intended to cause said taking member to rotate around its longitudinal axis so that, during rotation of said member, the film applied on the lateral surface of said member winds at least partly around said member, said member having first depression means distributed over the entire lateral surface of the latter;
• (f) a support roller intended to be applied on the lateral surface of said member so as to keep a second film in place against the latter;
• and
• (g) means to convey said taking member, along with the films applied to it, into the female mold part of said machine.
