Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a wallpaper applicator by means of which wallpaper can be fed on to a wall and adhered thereto with the assistance of one or more rollers rotatably mounted on the applicator. The applicator can be adapted to single-handed operation and can incorporate a water tank so that ready-pasted wallpaper can be soaked in the applicator immediately before being applied to a wall.
