Abstract
A device adapted to apply a length of adhesive from a supply length of the adhesive releasably adhered to a liner along the length of an elongate member. A head carrying a plurality of pressure rollers is positioned in a contact position so that a first one of the pressure rollers presses the adhesive against the side surface of the elongate member at about a predetermined position adjacent the first end of the elongate member, and then the head is positioned in a pressure position so that upon further movement of the elongate member along the path all of the pressure rollers will cause the adhesive to be firmly pressed into engagement along the elongate member through the liner. The adhesive is cut adjacent a last pressure roller on the head after a length is applied, and the newly severed end of the adhesive is then moved from adjacent the last pressure roller to adjacent the first pressure roller in preparation for application of adhesive to the next elongate member.
