Abstract: Apparatus for applying plastic film material to a glass sheet has a first roller mounted for rotation about its longitudinal axis and having a rubber-like surface and a diameter of at least about 30 inches (75 cm). A second roller is mounted for rotation about its longitudinal axis adjacent to the first roller to form a nip between the first and second rollers. A length of plastic film material having adhesive on one surface is supplied under controlled tension to the first roller at a position remote from the second roller, with the opposite surface of the film material in contact with the first roller, to cause the film material to pass around a substantial portion of the circumference of the first roller to a position adjacent the second roller. The glass sheet is fed through the nip to cause the second roller to press the glass sheet towards the first roller and cause the film material to be adhered to the glass sheet.
