Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9415789A1] A method and device for splicing, i.e., laminating in juxtaposed position, retroreflective cube corner sheeting during lamination comprises a roll applicator apparatus suitable for mounting a plurality of rolls of sheeting, a mechanism for dispensing sheeting from the rolls, and a shim mechanism for maintaining constant separation between sheeting on adjacent rolls. The invention permits simultaneous lamination of the sheetings onto a substrate in side by side spliced or juxtaposed relation with a constant separation distance along the length of the splice and with independent rotation of each roll.
