Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018197404A1] The invention describes and presents an application apparatus (1) for applying add-on elements (2), in particular drinking straws, to packagings (13), preferably composite cardboard packagings, comprising at least one transport device (14) for transporting the packagings (13) along a transport path (15), and comprising at least one application device (38) comprising at least one applicator (22) for applying the add-on elements (2) to the packaging (13), wherein the applicator (22) is provided on the application device (38) such that it can be moved from a transfer position (24) for receiving the add-on elements (2) into an application position (27) for applying the add-on elements (2) to the packagings (13) and back again. In order to provide a reduced complexity of the design and method for application of the add-on elements in different orientations, the at least one application device (38), as a result of a movement, in particular of the applicator (22), superimposed with the movement of the applicator (22) from the transfer position (24) into the application position (27), is designed to receive the add-on elements (2) with the applicator (22) in a transfer orientation in space and to apply the add-on elements (2) with the applicator (22) in an application orientation in space inclined relative to the transfer orientation.
