between said cooperating structures, said cooperating structures apply
pressure to said master and feed materials as they advance therethrough so
as to bond said adhesive to said master;
an upper one of said pair of said cooperating pressure applying
structures being connected with said upper outer shell portion such that (a)
movement of said upper outer shell portion to said open position thereof
moves the upper one of said cooperating pressure applying structures apart
from a lower one of said cooperating pressure applying structures to
facilitate positioning of said feed materials in between said cooperating
structures and (b) movement of said upper outer shell portion to said closed
position thereof positions the upper one of said cooperating structures
adjacent the lower one of said cooperating pressure applying structures in
said cooperating pressure applying relationship as aforesaid;
said frame providing a first mounting portion constructed to receive
and mount said supply of said first feed material and a second mounting
portion constructed and arranged to receive and mount said supply of said
second feed material.
47. A method for using an apparatus for processing a master in
conjunction with a supply of a first feed material and a supply of a second
feed material, at least one of said feed materials carrying a layer of adhesive,
said apparatus comprising: a frame having an outer shell including (a) a
lower outer shell portion having downwardly facing surfaces constructed
and arranged to be placed on a substantially flat support surface for
supporting said apparatus and (b) an upper outer shell portion movably
connected to said lower shell portion for movement between an open
position and a closed position relative to said lower outer shell; and a pair of
cooperating pressure applying structures located within said outer shell, said
cooperating structures being constructed and arranged to be positioned
adjacent one another in a cooperating pressure applying relationship
wherein, when the master with the first and second feed materials on
opposing sides thereof and the adhesive contacting the master is positioned
between said cooperating structures, said cooperating structures apply
pressure to said master and feed materials as they advance therethrough so
as to bond said adhesive to said master; an upper one of said pair of said
cooperating pressure applying structures being connected with said upper
