  • Patent number: 10589889
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a labelling machine (1), comprising a carousel (3) rotatably mounted a supporting frame (2) in such a way that it can rotate about a first axis of rotation (30) and a plurality of supporting elements (4) for articles to be labelled (9). The supporting elements (4) are mounted on the periphery of the carousel (3) and are able to rotate about respective second axes of rotation (40). The machine (1) is characterised in that it comprises an operating unit (55) which is mounted on a rotary support (6) mounted on the supporting frame (2). The support (6) is able to rotate about a third axis of rotation (60) which is at a distance, along a radial line, from the first axis of rotation (30).

  • Patent number: 10059480
    Abstract: A labelling machine with a carrousel comprises a carrousel (3) and a plurality of plates (4), mounted on the carrousel (3). Each plate (4) comprises supporting means (13) and a dragging element (14), comprising a tooth (15) substantially insertable in a recess made in the bottom of the container supported by the supporting means (13). The tooth (15) is off-centre relative to the first axis of rotation and movable relative to the supporting means (13) between an engaged position, in which the tooth (15) is substantially inserted in the recess, and a disengaged position, in which the tooth (15) is not associated with the recess.

  • Publication number: 20170313461
    Abstract: A device for joining webs with self-adhesive labels comprises a web retaining element (18) for, in use, selectively retaining the starting end (16) of a new web (13) at an operating zone (15) positioned along a feed path of a first web being used and a pressure element (26) positioned on the opposite side of the first web; at least one of either the retaining element (18) or the pressure element (26) being movable relative to the other, between a non-operating position in which they are at a distance from each other and an operating position in which the pressure element (26) presses the first web (10) onto an adhesive element fixed to the new web (13); it also comprises a cutting (27) movable between a non-interference position and a cutting position, movement means for moving the cutting element (27) from the non-interference position to the cutting position, and controlled feeding means for the first web (10) which are operatively associated with the movement means for causing controlled feeding of the fir

  • Patent number: 8887783
    Abstract: A unit for the glue application of at least two labels to containers, comprising at least first (8) and second application devices (9) both of which rotate and are positioned at two separate superposed portions of the main axis of rotation (Z), each for applying at least one label on a separate portion of the same container (2). The operating parts of the two application devices (8) and (9) are at different distances from the axis of rotation (Z), although they rotate at identical rotational speeds relative to said axis. The second application device (9) comprises two first follower elements (30) slidably connected to a stationary guide element (29), for guiding the movement of the second device At the label application position (24), the interaction between the first follower elements (30) and the guide element (29) causes an oscillation of the second application device (9) for varying the speed of movement of its operating part and adapting it to that of the container.

    Abstract: A unit for the glue application of at least two labels to containers, comprising at least one first application device (8) and one second application device (9) both of which rotate and are positioned at two separate superposed portions of the main axis of rotation (Z), each for applying at least one label on a separate portion of the same container (2). In practice, the operating parts of the two application devices (8) and (9) are at different distances from the axis of rotation (Z), although they rotate at identical rotational speeds relative to said axis. The second application device (9) comprises two first follower elements (30) which are slidably connected to a stationary first guide element (29), for guiding the movement of the second device in space.
