A device for transferring a material in the form of a film that is applied to a carrier strip onto a substrate such as a sheet of writing paper or drawing paper. The inventive device comprises a housing that accommodates a supply reel for the film-coated carrier strip and an empty reel that receives the carrier strip when the coating is removed. The film-coated carrier strip is guided via an application foot that is provided with at least one clip-type sliding element which is made of a friction-reducing material in the area around which the carrier strip is twisted and secured to said foot. The aim of the invention is to prove an improved device that uses as little material as possible, whereby close attention is paid to aspects such as low production costs and easy assembly, while at the same time guaranteeing smooth operation and flawless transfer of the film onto the substrate. This is achieved by providing the application foot (6) with a pivotally hinged extension arm (9) with a terminal receiving profiled section (end section (10)) for the sliding element (15).
