Abstract: A label dispensing and applicator assembly for use with a roll of backing tapes having labels with pressure-sensitive adhesives on the backside detachably adhering the labels to the backing tape, wherein the assembly includes a label dispensing unit having a label separator mechanism attached to the frame and positioned away from a dispensing strip take-up reel wherein the label separator peels the label from the backing tape as the backing tape moves forwardly over the label separator and abruptly changes direction and extends rearwardly beneath the bar such that the labels are stripped and move forwardly from the label separator. A pair of pinch rollers is rotatably supported by the frame away from the label separator and a pinch roller is positioned to removably receive the dispensing strip therethrough as the dispensing strip is pulled through the label dispensing unit. The pinch roller has a drive belt connected to a conveyor assembly that is positioned forward of the label separator unit.

Abstract: A label dispenser for stripping adhesive-backed labels from a dispensing strip which has a stripping edge extending at an acute angle with respect to a feed path. The dispensing strip passes from the stripping edge crosswise beneath the feed path after label removal has been performed.

Abstract: A combination stand/holder having a channel-shaped column with a magnet at the bottom and horizontal front slots for receiving the handles of utensils.
