Abstract (en)

Articles (38) of ceramic ware are heated and then a portion of a sheet (2) of thermo-plastics material carrying a design motif (4) is pressed into engagement with the article by a silicone rubber pad (33), to apply the design to the ware. In order to facilitate handling of a strip of the thermoplastics material, during printing of the motifs and subsequent unrolling of the strip, the strip is initially provided with a paper backing (3). An automatic machine is described in which the paper is stripped off by a blade (19), and the plastics strip is carried to an application station (5) by a reciprocable carriage (12). A reciprocable carrier (26) is movable transversely of the carriage through the application station for alternately bringing a perforating assembly (6a, 6b) and a transfer application assembly (7a, 7b) into position at the application station.
