(under subclass 538) Apparatus in which the work feeding or handling means comprises a container adapted to be brought into association with a base to which a sheet-like article is to be laminated, the container holding a pile of the sheet-like articles arranged face to face and the end article of the pile in facial contact with the work.
(1) Note. The devices of this subclass do not claim the means handling the base to which the stack derived article is applied. Therefore the claims recite either a hand held or manipulated applier or the subcombination of magazine disclosed for use with a base work manipulator.
