Abstract (en)
This disclosure relates to a machine for applying indicia, preferably decalcomanias (decals), to felts that form part of tennis balls. A stack of the felts is placed in the machine, and a destacking mechanism (14) separates each felt from the stack and places them on a conveyor (11) which moves the felts to a decal applicating machine (12). After a decal is applied to each felt, the conveyor (11) moves the felts to a restacking mechanism (15) which lifts the felts off the conveyor (11) and restacks them. The machine is preferably equipped to handle the felts in pairs in order to double the speed of operation.
