  • Method for applying a film to a planar substrate, deflecting element and device for applying a film to a planar substrate
    Patent number: 7691448
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for applying a film to a planar, especially air-impermeable substrate, comprising the steps: (a) feeding the planar substrate in a direction of feed towards an application device, (b) applying a film output by the application device to the planar substrate, and (c) sharply deflecting the planar substrate together with the film that is in contact therewith to a deflection area in a discharge direction different from the direction of feed. The invention also relates to a deflecting element for deflecting a planar substrate. Said element comprises at least one guiding surface adapted to guide a planar substrate and an additional guiding surface, forming an edge for sharply deflecting a planar substrate with the first guiding surface.
