Abstract
A hand operated device for transferring a film from a carrier tape to a substrate is provided with a planar surface on its bottom wall, having a pair of laterally disposed flanges extending outwardly from the side walls, the side walls forming a hand gripping surface. An applicator bar over which a carrier tape is fed is spring biased downwardly to a point below the bottom planar surface, the point being such that the force required to raise the applicator bar to the plane of the planar surface is equal to the force required for laydown of the film onto the substrate. The device is operated by movement of the device over the substrate with said planar surface in contact with the substrate.
