Abstract: The invention relates to a labelling station for articles, more particularly bottles, having removal elements (2) which are rotatably mounted on a rotating support (1) and are moved past fixed stations (15, 16, 19) disposed at the periphery of the support with each rotation thereof and which roll with their receiving surface (5) with synchronisation at the stations and are glued, a label being delivered to a label-transferring station. The drive used for the removal elements (2) is a cam drive with two sets of engagement members (24, 25; 29, 30) which engage with a double cam (20a, 20b). The drive is so designed that, apart from short transitional zones, of the engagement members only two engagement members engage, one engagement member having a longer operative lever arm than all the remaining engagement members, and said engagement member 25 being also in torque-operative driving engagement with the double cam 20a, 20b in the initial phase of the rolling movement of the receiving surface at the stations.

Abstract: The helically threaded spindle (5) of the vise is arranged in an inclined fashion in the movable jaw (3) and is held in a pivotable as well as axially fixed manner. The spindle nut (7) is displaceably guided in a longitudinal recess (9) of the bed (1), is spring-loaded in the direction toward the fixed jaw (spring 18), and is provided with a cross pin (17). The cross pin (17) is adapted to be anchored in a series of downwardly open slots (20, 21, 22) rectangular in cross section. Upon tightening the previously released spindle (5), the pin (17) slides to the subsequent slot (21) and engages therein, whereupon the horizontal component of its obliquely upwardly direction movement pushes the movable jaw (3) forwards for clamping the workpiece (4).
