Claims4
A process for rotating and surfacely placing a strip of material with a surface element, comprising the steps of:
- continuously moving in a first direction a surface element,
- continuously providing a material having a first axis in a first angular orientation to the first direction of movement,
- cutting a strip from the material,
- sequentially rotating the strip of material so that the first axis of the strip is in a second angular orientation to the first direction of movement,
- positioning the strip of material generally parallel to and spaced-apart from the surface element, and then, while maintaining the strip and the surface element generally parallel, moving the strip of material into generally flat contact with the surface element.
