Abstract: A spin device includes a first surface with an inner edge and an outer edge, wherein the outer edge of the first surface is convex; a second surface with an inner edge and an outer edge, wherein the outer edge of the second surface is convex; a third surface connecting the outer edge of the first surface to the outer edge of the second surface, wherein the third surface is concave and configured to contact a throat of a racket; and a fourth surface connecting the inner edge of the first surface to the inner edge of the second surface, wherein the fourth surface defines a recess configured to receive an outer surface of a bearing.

Abstract: The invention which is the subject of this application is apparatus and a method for the application of labels to articles-, via adhesive or other mechanical location means. The labels are provided in a label supply (2) with respective labels (8) defined by a line of weakening (6) formed by slits (12) or perforations and the line of weakening includes at least one aperture (12) provided for engagement by a tool (12) at the time when the line of weakening is required to be broken to separate the leading label and allow the same to be applied to the article.
