Abstract

An application apparatus that includes: a base unit comprising a first end, a second end, and a connection device that extends along a base unit axis from the first end to the second end; an application unit securely coupled to the second end, wherein the application unit is configured to apply a strip to a workpiece; and a redirection unit pivotably coupled to the base unit. The application unit comprises a first input guiding element configured to supply the strip to the application unit. The redirection unit is configured such that the strip can wrap around the redirection unit and be guided from an axial receiving position to an axial discharge position, wherein the axial receiving position is spaced apart from the axial discharge position in an axial direction of the axis. The first input guiding element of the application unit is spaced apart from the axial receiving position.
