Abstract: A multi-purpose laminating and adhesive transfer apparatus having a frame supporting rotatably engaging nip rollers. A replaceable cartridge is insertable into the frame and has upper and lower feed rolls which may be a laminate, film or paper, or an adhesively coated film or a film having an affinity for adhesive. The upper and lower feed rolls containing the webs of laminating or adhesive transfer material have tensioning caps which can be adjusted to provide the proper tensioning to prevent the rollers from overrunning as they rotate. Tensioning caps and the cartridges are pre-set and provided to the user. A cutter blade is positioned at the discharge side of the nip rollers and may be actuated to sever the master at any desired location. The apparatus may be operated to apply lamination to either top or bottom surfaces of a substrate or an adhesive to the top or bottom surface of the substrate or to both surfaces.

Abstract: A multi-purpose laminating and adhesive transfer apparatus having a frame supporting rotatably engaging nip rollers which define a nip area. A replaceable cartridge is insertable into the frame and has upper and lower feed rolls which may be a laminate, film, or paper, or an adhesively coated film, or a film having an affinity for adhesive. The frame includes an open front for receiving the cartridge and a rear wall, and the cartridge includes an open rear in substantial alignment with the open front of the frame. The cartridge also includes a top wall, a bottom wall, and a front wall, the open rear providing access to the upper and lower feed rolls and loading of material from the upper and lower feed rolls to the nip rollers. The front wall of the cartridge has an opening therein in alignment with the nip area.
