Abstract: A label fitting apparatus for fitting a label on a container. The label fitting apparatus includes label fitting heads at even intervals on an outer perimeter of a main turret. Each fitting head includes a container table to support a container, a container presser bar to apply a force to a top of the container, and a label holder to hold the label. Rotation of the main turret causes the container presser bar to lower and pass through a label held by the vacuum jaws to apply a pressing force against a container supported by the container table such that the container is sandwiched between the container table and the container presser bar. The container is transferred in an axial direction relative to the label holder such that the label is fitted on the container.

Abstract: A tubular label fitting apparatus for containers in which label fitting heads are arranged at even intervals on the outer perimeter of a main turret, each fitting head comprising a container table, a container presser bar that applies a pressing force against the top of a container which is supported by the container table, and vacuum jaws to hold the label. The label fitting head comprises a container presser bar means 40 on the bottom of a container presser bar body 41. The container presser bar means 40 further comprises a label attitude control element 42 whose outer diameter is slightly smaller than the diameter of a fitting tube. When a bottle 32 is supplied to the bottle mounting platform 7, the label attitude control element 42 lowers and passes through a label 29 which is held by the label holding means, such that the bottle is sandwiched between the container table 7 and the container pressing head 44 that is provided in the label attitude control element 42 so as to have a cushioning capability.
