  • Patent number: 5013386
    Abstract: A manually-operated device for applying a very thin material, such as roll leaf, from a roll onto a flat surface so as to imprint the material and produce an artistic result. The device has a dispenser for holding the roll of material, and the material is guided through a predetermined path under a heated stamping roller, the temperature of which is automatically controlled and maintained at a desired temperature. By using handles on the sides of the device, the user advances the roller over the material, which is dispensed smoothly, so as to apply the material to the selected surface. The device includes a manually-operated cutter to facilitate cutting of the material on a straight line when the desired amount has been applied.
