Abstract

An applicator for applying a closure sticker to the free end of each of a plurality of rolls (18) mounted side by side, comprises a dispenser (1) for dispensing closure stickers one after the other to a single pick up point (10) and a mount (12) carrying a plurality of closure sticker applicator heads (4-7). The heads (4-7) are spaced along the mount (12) by the pitch of the rolls (18) to which the closure stickers are to be applied and an indexing mechanism (17) moves the mount (12) past the pick up point (10) such that each applicator head (4-7) in turn can pick up a closure sticker. Finally, means (13,14,15,16) for moving the mount (12) ensures that the applicator heads (4-7) are brought into engagement with the said rolls, simultaneously and each with a respective one.
