Labeling machine in which continuous label stock is pulled from a roll of same by a continuously operating drive roller and a pinch roller which is alternately engaged with and disengaged from the drive roller; means for storing a supply of label stock in the form of a loop; reciprocating label feed withdrawing label stock from the loop and feeding it forwardly one label at a time; means for severing a label during each cycle of operation; a vacuum feed drum for receiving labels from the severin...

Apparatus for transferring self-adhesive labels from a supply roll to continuously advancing containers or packaging material, including means for simple, on-site adjustment of the label positions with respect to the velocity and/or spacing of the items to be labeled. The labels move on a conveyor belt transversely of the material flow path, while an indicator moves oppositely to and in synchronism with the conveyor belt past one or more sensors controlling the conveyor belt drive. The positions...

A labeling machine for gluing labels at one or both sides of bottles with provision for adjusting the inclination of the label transfer pads to approximately the inclination of the side surfaces of the bottles to which the labels are to be applied, including means for retracting the label magazine and removing some of the glue from the surface of the glue-applying roll in the absence of bottles or no bottles.

An apparatus for applying labels to cans of a straight or substantially frustoconical design is disclosed. The apparatus uses an elongated track for supporting one edge of the can and a single belt extending longitudinally above the track and adapted to selectively engage an edge of the can to rotate and advance the can along the track. Movement of the can transverse relative to the track is restrained by retaining the can against a pair of spaced, longitudinally extending nonmagnetic guide surf...

A labeling apparatus holds an article to which a label is to be stuck, on a holder and then moves the holder carrying the article from a home position via a waiting position and a labeling position back to the home position. In a label peeling and issuing section, the article is moved up toward a label being issued in the label peeling and issuing section and is brought into contact with the label so that the label is peeled from the supporting strip and stuck to the article as the holder holdin...

A labeling device is described with the aid of which self-adhering labels (6) can be imprinted, dispensed and attached to articles. The device includes a printing mechanism (16) having printing types (27) and a means for inking the printing types which includes a pivot member (21) rotatably mounted about a pivot pin (22) and an inking roll (26) which is connected to said member (21) and which prior to each printing operation by pivoting of the pivot member (21) is rolled along the printing types...

A labeling robot system comprises a suction plate which uses vacuum action to pick up an adhesive label by its printed surface. Air cylinders operated by compressed air orient and move the suction plate to the object to be labeled to stick the label thereon, and limit switches linked to a sequence controller define the limit of the strokes and the degree of turning involved.

Apparatus for applying pressure sensitive labels to products on a product line peels the labels from a web of release paper and applies them to the products, when the latter are detected to be in a predetermined position, by action of a pneumatic applicator head. The head favorably includes an exhaust blower which vents to the atmosphere thereby keeping slitting dust out of the machinery cabinet, and is arranged to rock to an open, service position to expose compressed air hoses therewithin. The...

An adhesive formulation useful for applying a paper label to a glass bottle, having the tack and rheology making it suitable for use in modern labeling equipment, and imparting water immersion resistance in ice water for a period of at least 72 hours. Based on soy protein isolate; does not use casein.

A labeling assembly and method of using same for releasably supporting a label and identifying a feature of an object upon which the labeling assembly is adapted for installation. The labeling assembly includes a protective layer having a release surface for releasably supporting the label and an information storage device located adjacent to a contacting surface of the protective layer such that the information storage device is disposed between the protective layer and the object when the labe...
