ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Means are provided herein for interfacing a web of continuously formed thermoplastic material with a continuously undulating and rotating peripheral surface to minimize resulting longitudinal stresses in the web and conform a surface of the web with the peripheral surface, the web being in continuous longitudinal motion. The means includes elongated bracket means extending longitudinally of the web and pivotally mounted on a trans- verse axis at its upstream end for rotation toward and away from the peri- pheral surface. A plurality of parallel roller means are mounted for rotation in the bracket means transversely of the web and mutually parallel with the peripheral surface, with the web being threaded in a serpentine manner through the roller means. Downstream roller means are provided in the plurality of roller means, constrained by the bracket means to follow the peripheral surface throughout its undulations and driven by the latter at a like peripheral speed transferring the web directly onto the peri- pheral surface. Finally, upstream roller means are provided in the plura- lity of roller means initially receiving the web on its peripheral surface and having an axis of rotation substantially coincident with the trans- verse pivotal axis of the bracket means. Such system which is provided is very facile and variable with regard to unique and unusual shapes.
