Patent number: 10611509Abstract: A system for labeling a container includes a label forming section, a buffer section, and a bonding section. The label forming section includes a first rotatable turret having a plurality of forming mandrels. The buffer section includes a second rotatable turret having a plurality of buffer receptacles. The bonding section includes a third rotatable turret having a plurality of bonding stations. The label forming section forms a label in a frustoconical shape using one of the forming mandrels and transfers the label to one of the buffer receptacles of the buffer section. The buffer section receives, in a buffer receptacle, the label followed by a container blank, and transfers the label and the container blank together to one of the bonding stations of the bonding section. The bonding section bonds the label to the container blank in the bonding station.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2017Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: Grupo Convermex, S.A. de C.V.Inventors: Charles E. Busse, Efrèn de Urquijo Carmona, Lawrence Maccherone
