Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2397258A] Apparatus 1 for dispensing adhesive elements, provided at spaced apart locations along a tape, to a target location on a surface. The apparatus comprises means for accommodating said tape in a coiled configuration 3, a rotatably mounted tape dispensing head 18 for dispensing adhesive elements from the tape to said surface; and actuating means (2 figure 7) mounted for movement relative to said head and operable to rotate said dispensing head 18 to present an adhesive to said target location. Also provided is a reel (58 figure 10) for holding a length of tape in a coiled configuration. The reel has, on an external surface thereof, an outwardly extending projection (62 figure 10) for registration in a corresponding recess (27 figure 7) in tape dispensing apparatus. The invention also provides a tape-mounted adhesive comprising a carrier tape (60 figure 13) carrying a plurality of removable adhesive elements (70 figure 13) along its length. The carrier tape includes indexing means (64) whereby the carrier tape may be indexed relative to a dispensing means when the carrier tape is mounted in or on the dispensing means.
