Abstract: A high speed labeling machine is provided which includes a constant tensioning device for maintaining tension downstream of the metering roll at a substantially constant predetermined level thereby improving both metering and dispensing of labels. The constant tensioning device may also function as a driver for pulling the continuous web of material through the labeling machine thereby reducing the driving load on the metering roll, thus both providing more effective and accurate metering at a given web speed while also allowing higher web speeds to be achieved.

Abstract: A multiple receptacle rotating stand comprising a support post. An assembly is for anchoring a bottom end of the support post into the ground, so that the support post is in an upright position. A collar is placed onto a top end of the support post. An element is for rotating the collar about the top end of the support post. A structure extends from the collar, for supporting a plurality of trash receptacles off of the ground, to prevent prowling animals, such as dogs, from tipping over the trash receptacles and spilling trash onto the ground. The trash receptacles can also be utilized to separate the trash, such as glass, paper, metal, etc., so that the trash can be recycled. Shallow containers can also be used on the structure to feed animals, such as horses and the like.
