ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION A system for the dispensing of literature to objects, such as containers carried by a conveyor, includes a tape for the application of adhesive to literature, and a device for the separation of the literature from the tape to permit the securing of the literature, adhesively, to the containers. A drive mechanism is provided for advancing the tape through successive increments of distance, each incre- mental distance being equal to the size of one piece of literature. A hopper dispenses the literature to the tape, one piece at a time. Application of the pieces of litera- ture to the objects is accomplished by a roller or brush. The literature separation device includes a bar having an edge about which the tape is bent to free the literature from the tape as the tape advances around the edge. The adhesive is retained by the literature during the separation from the tape so as to permit the adhesive attachment of the pieces of literature to the containers. The pieces of literature may be lifted from the hopper by passing an adhe- sive coating of the tape past an exit port of the hopper, or by use of a suction cup carried by a swing-arm assembly wherein both the movement thereof and vacuum of the suction cup are synchronized with movement of the tape. -33-
