  • Patent number: 5928722
    Abstract: An apparatus for transferring and spreading a high-viscosity bonding agent to a thickness of about 10 .mu.m on a bonding-agent onto a member. The device includes a squeegee table on which a bonding agent is spread, and a film moving device for feeding a film made of elastic material from one end to the other end of the squeegee table at a predetermined speed and sticking the film onto the bonding agent. The film moving device then peels the film off the spreading side at a speed at which the upper half of the bonding agent layer is peeled off from the other end of the squeegee table, whereby the thickness of the bonding agent is reduced to half of that which has been spread on the squeegee table. The film moving device then feeds the film having the bonding agent onto a member and peels off the film from the member, thereby transferring a bonding agent having a thickness of about 1/4 of the thickness of the bonding agent spread on the spreading side, not greater than 10 .mu.m, for example, to the member.
