Abstract
Applicator device for a laying machine with mobile head, for laying a composite material tape on a surface of application, said device comprising a rotary application roller carried by a mount fixed to said mobile head which applies said roller against said application surface and which advances said roller transversely to its axis of rotation so that while rolling it applies said tape on said application surface. According to the invention, this device is characterized in that PA0 said rotary application roller comprises a resiliently flexible shaft deformable under flexion and a cylinder of resiliently compressible material fast with said shaft, PA0 each end of said shaft is connected to said mount by an end bearing, and PA0 at least one intermediate bearing is provided between said end bearings for connecting said shaft to said mount.
