Abstract: A cutting and transfer drum in a continuous-film labeling machine, which allows disassembly into sectors comprised between two contiguous blades, each sector being provided with elements for locking in the active position, which comprise a rotating rod which is provided with an actuation crank, said rod having a portion which is adapted to mate with a reference element provided on the sector, elements adapted to retain the sector in the locking position, a cam adapted to make contact with an abutment provided on the sector, so as to ensure a contact pressure of the sector on a supporting ring which ensures the retention of the fluid that provides suction.

Abstract: A device for cutting a ribbon made of paper, plastics or similar material, comprising a blade connected to actuation means which are adapted to give the blade a motion toward the ribbon, the blade comprising a component parallel to the surface of the ribbon.

Abstract: A labeling machine for prism-shaped bottles having an axially-offset neck, comprising a first carousel, which conveys the bottles to a first labeling assembly, which applies the labels to one of the faces, and a second carousel, which conveys the bottles to a second labeling assembly, which applies the labels to an opposite face; the carousels are connected in series by at least one pair of bottle transfer devices.

Abstract: A labeling machine for heat-shrink labels, comprising, arranged progressively along the path of the bottles: a first adhesive bonding device, which applies to the surface of a bottle a film of adhesive at a strip of limited dimensions; a transfer drum, which conveys a label from a second adhesive bonding device, which arranges a film of adhesive that polymerizes as a consequence of exposure to UV rays on the trailing edge of the label, until contact occurs with a bottle so that the leading edge of the label is located at the film of adhesive; and at least one UV-ray emission lamp.

Abstract: A bottle labeling machine, comprising a rotating carousel provided with a supporting structure for pans on which the bottles rest and comprising input and output star conveyors, the input and output star conveyors being arranged at a fixed elevation, the rotating carousel being provided with means suitable to change the elevation of the pan supporting structure.

Abstract: A device for centering a container provided with a reference on a pan in a labeling machine, comprising elements adapted to determine, by making contact with the reference provided on the container, the locking of the container in the direction of rotation of the resetting motion, leaving the container free to rotate together with the pan when the pan rotates in the direction of the motion that occurs during labeling.

Abstract: A bottle labeling machine, comprising a rotating carousel provided with a supporting structure for pans on which the bottles rest and comprising input and output star conveyors, the input and output star conveyors being arranged at a fixed elevation, the rotating carousel being provided with means suitable to change the elevation of the pan supporting structure.

Abstract: A device for orientating bottles in labeling, filling, capping machines and the like, comprising a turning element which is adapted to turn the bottles about an axis perpendicular to the conveyor belt until the intended position is reached, by making contact with the body of the bottles, and coordinated devices which are adapted to keep the head of the bottles in position during the orientation operation.
