  • Patent number: 5531858
    Abstract: A shrinkable label inserting machine with a modified central holder, a driving system, a cutting system, and a loading system is provided. The machine features a central holder having an upper post and a lower post bolted together with a screw and having an annular groove formed where the posts are bolted together. A passage is provided at the base of the lower post through which the top of a bottle is detected by an electric eye. Each of the driving and loading systems include two rollers between which the spacing is adjustable. A cutting system has a circumferential arrangement of a plurality of pulleys, each having a blade affixed thereto, and each pulley is coupled for synchronous movement with a timing belt. The arcs of the blades overlap to ensure a complete ring is cut around the circumference of the shrinkable label.
