Abstract
An applicator head is disclosed which accumulates, feeds, cuts and presents a preselected length of ribbon-like material. A first pneumatic cylinder is connected to a pivoting arm which controls accumulation and feeding steps, while a second pneumatic cylinder operates an applicator arm, to cut and present the material. The connection of the pivoting arm, relative to the first cylinder, determines the length of the cut material or ribbon segment.
