  • Patent number: 6382291
    Abstract: A device for separating stick-on material, such as self-adhesive stamps from a roll of backing tape to which the stick-on material is adhered, for dispensing and applying the stick-on material onto an application surface, and for storing the empty tape. The device provides a chamber for holding a supply roll of backing tape and stick-on material so that backing tape and adhered stick-on material can be payed out from the roll in a first direction. The tape is guided along a path that causes the tape initially to extend in said first direction and then in a second direction angularly related to the first direction so that as the tape changes direction it separates from the stick-on material.
