Abstract: A labeling device or mechanism in the nature of an attachment for application to labeling machines of the type disclosed in Wesley U.S. Pat. No.
Abstract: An improvement in labeling machines of the type shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,625,797, in which provision for applying labels about polygonal shaped containers is made by providing a pair of spaced holders that are mounted for rotation about a horizontal axis and mount the container to be labeled between them for rotation thereby. The labels are fed one by one from a hopper to a labeling position at one side of the rotating container where a brush member, having a brush type flap projecting therefrom, is mounted for consecutive wiping engagement with all sides of the container as they are presented thereto when the container is rotated. When a container is mounted between the holders to be labeled, and the label to be applied thereto is fed between the brush member and the container, the brush member is moved toward the container to forcefully brush the leading end of the label into firm adherence with the container.
Abstract: A method and apparatus for labeling sheeting rolls specifically adapted for labeling wallpaper rolls of which the outer end edge of the sheet that is convoluted to form the roll is free of securement against the roll, wherein the roll is rolled along a runway leading to a labeling station, with the roll oriented to have its free outer end edge in trailing relation with respect to the direction of rotational movement of the roll, as it moves along the runway. At the labeling station the roll is supported by and between a pair of rollers, one of which is driven to rotate the roll for labeling purposes at a predetermined surface speed in the same direction of rotational movement as when the roll moves along the runway.
Abstract: An apparatus for labeling skeins of yarn or the like comprising a processing way that includes a label supply station, a labeling station, and an apparatus for feeding individual labels from the supply station to the labeling station. The labeling station includes a plurality of pairs of oppositely acting swing arms, with which the label as supported at the labeling station is centered, with the arms of each pair of arms including a first swing arm on the label infeed side of the labeling station and a second swing arm on the opposite side of the labeling station. The swing arms of each pair project from rock shafts extending transversely of the way, and the swing arms at their projecting ends are of semi or open loop shape for cooperatively encompassing the skein to be labeled.
Abstract: An apparatus for applying labels to box ends, to achieve both securement and labeling of both box ends, in which the apparatus defines a processing way having entrance and exit ends along which is disposed an endless conveyor formed to define equally spaced seats for receiving and sequentially conveying along the way the boxes to be labeled, with the boxes disposed transversely of the way. The apparatus includes a labeling station through which the boxes are initially moved, and at which each box has applied to the underside of each end of same one end of a label having glue applied thereto and oriented to parallel the box and project endwise and outwardly of same a sufficient amount for bending around the box end (to which it is attached) for engagement with and securement to the top side of the box.
