2148619 9412395 PCTABS00032 The present invention provides an apparatus for applying an adhesive handle to a load, both if it is a pack of items kept together by a unitizing means such as heat-shrunk wrapping or if it is a single article such as a box. More specifically, the apparatus applies for adhesive handles to loads as they are driven along a path, the apparatus in its preferred embodiment being characterized by a rotatable lever having two opposing arms, either of the arms being in turn positioned within the path. A holding means is provided on the lever for carrying a handle to lay on a surface of the two arms of the lever with its non-adhesive side against the surface of the lever and its adhesive side exposed. Additionally a lever driving means is provided to controllably rotate the lever by about 180· after a load that is driven along the path hits an arm of the lever that is positioned within the path. With such an apparatus, the front side of each load that is driven along the path hits against a first arm of the lever, i.e., the arm positioned within the path. On that arm, one of the adhesive portions of the handle is exposed, so that such adhesive portion can be adhered to the load. Immediately thereafter, because of the impact of the load, the lever driving means is activated so as to rotate the lever by about 180· at a rotational speed so that the other arm of the lever hits the back side of the load. At that moment, the other adhesive portion of the handle, laying exposed on such other arm of the lever, is adhered to the load. Thus, the two adhesive portions of the handle are adhered to spaced portions of the load, while the non-adhesive side extends therebetween, over the load.
