A computer carrier strip having perforated feed is slit longitudinally and a label price tag strip having a gummed back is adhered to the computer strip, after which the strips are perforated to form tear lines, and cutouts are made to make a composite strip form carrying T-shaped label-price tag sheets connected together by perforated tear lines only at the tops and bottoms of the labels and with the price tag portions separated by the cutouts and connected to the labels only by perforated tear...

A labeling machine is provided to apply simultaneously two labels to different diameter portions of a bottle, e.g. the neck and belly. The structure for applying the belly label is conventional but above the usual affixing element there is provided a second affixing element which is operatively connected to a cam follower which senses a cam track opposite the labeling station. This causes the second affixing member to be projected radially outward at the time of label affixing so it reaches the ...

A labeling method and apparatus for putting a label onto a periphery of a photo film cassette, while conveying the photo film cassette from a label applying position to a label securing position while supporting the photo film cassette in a posture. In a label applying unit, a label is partly peeled from a label tape by turning the label tape around a separator member. While the peeled end portion of the label is hanging down from the separator member, the photo film cassette is moved toward the...

A labeling machine in which pressure sensitive adhesively backed labels are releasably adhered to a backing strip moving along a path from a dispensing roll to a take-up roll. The labels are removed from the backing strip onto a rotating applicator drum at a first station along said path, and the thus removed labels are transferred from the applicator drum to articles being successively presented at a second station. The improvement comprises a scanning unit, a comparator unit, and a removal uni...

A compact disc labeling device for manual application of a label to a compact disc includes an assembly having a circumferential flange with an upper flange surface, a piston, a first rod having a diameter approximately equal to the diameter of the label's central aperture and that extends from the upper surface of the piston, and a second rod having a diameter approximately equal to the diameter of the disc's central aperture and that extends from the first rod. In use, a label is placed on the...

The invention provides a labeling apparatus and method of labeling containers, wherein the control of the labeling operation is dependent on the supply of the labels. Also, there may be used a continuous length of labels rather than individual pre-cut labels, resulting in a very high-speed operation. The labeling device includes a continuous supply of labels, cutting means for providing individual label lengths, adhesive applying means for printing the labels, and label applying means for applyi...

A labeling machine comprising a rotor on which there are mounted at peripherally spaced intervals vacuum pads for movement in a circular path about said axis and a label picking assembly, adhesive-applying rolls and a container support arranged concentrically around the rotor in tangential relation to the path of movement of the pads. The pads are mounted on the rotor for retraction toward the center of rotation of the rotor and springs hold the pads distended into said path so that labels deliv...

The labeling machine comprises a pressure sensitive label dispenser for delivering either completely or partially released labels to label applicators on a label applying drum. The labels may be delivered directly to the applicators or to a stationary label holder having two spaced members for engaging spaced portions of a precisely positioned supported label and between which moves the label applicators. If the labels are delivered to the label holder, the applicators successively strip the pre...

This invention relates to an adhesive suitable for water-resistant fastening of labels to bottles intended to be immersed in ice water, said adhesive comprising at least 40 percent by weight water, from about 10 percent to about 40 percent starch, from about 5 percent to about 20 percent nitrogeneous substance selected from the group consisting of urea, dicyandiamide and their mixtures, and an ammoniated hydrolysis product of a styrene/maleic anhydride copolymer in amount corresponding to from a...

Apparatus and method for applying tubular labels to empty or filled product containers at a labeling station including a reciprocally moveable labeling assembly and a container advancing mechanism including a pair of confronting, rotatable star wheels. The star wheels include arms for engaging and holding a container to be labeled at a label applying position. The star wheels operate to stabilize the container until the labeling applying assembly engages the container. The star wheels then move ...
