ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR FEEDING STRIP MATERIAL FOR APPLICATION TO A DRUM An apparatus (10) and method wherein strip material (62) is clamped to a shuttle finger (46) slid- ably mounted in a shuttle casing (44) which in turn is slidably mounted on a strip applier frame (14). The shuttle casing (44) and shuttle finger (46) are movable simultaneously from a retracted first position to a second position with the end of the shuttle casing 144) adjacent an applicator roll (28). The shuttle finger (46) is then movable by itself from the second position to a third position for transferring a tongue portion (124) of the strip (62) onto the applicator roll (28). The tongue portion (124) may then be elevated into clamping engage- ment with the drum (12) and the strip (62) released from the shuttle finger (46). The shuttle casing (44) and shuttle finger (46) may then be returned to the first position, the drum (12) rotated a predetermined amount to partially wrap the strip (62) around the drum (12) and the strip (62) cut at a predetermined location whereupon the drum (12) is rotated to fully wrap the strip of flexible material (62) around the drum (12). Guide mem- bers (90) at the front edges of the feed path are retrac- table to permit movement of the shuttle casing (44) into close proximity with the applicator roll (28). Also a cycle reset clamping assembly (112) is provided for clamping a portion of the strip of flexible material (62) to the applicator roll (28) to allow the shuttle casing (44) to move to the retracted position for cutting of the strip of flexible material (62) in that position when the applicator roll (28) is not elevated into contact with the drum (12).
