Abstract: The instant invention proposes to utilize pre-cut unbacked labels releasably attached to one another in a stacked arrangement within a disposable tube having one open end. The labels have a diameter approximately equal to the inside diameter of the tube and have adhesive on one side with the adhesive sides facing the open end of the tube. A spring biased compression mechanism at the closed end of the tube serves to urge the stack of labels-toward the open end of the tube. When the outward-facing label contacts the object to be labeled, the label is released from the stack and adheres to the object exposing the next label in the stack.

Abstract: A lift having a safety lock system includes a mast that may be supported by a base, and a frame that can be lifted or lowered along the mast. The safety lock system includes a first support beam that is located adjacent to the mast and a second support beam that is located opposite the first support beam relative to the mast. The safety lock system also includes a first lock and a second lock. Each of the first lock and the second lock are operable between a plurality of locked positions and an unlocked position. In the locked position, the first lock is engaged with the first support beam to lock the lift frame to the first support beam, and the second lock is engaged with the second support beam to lock the lift frame to the second support beam. Each of the first lock and the second lock can be placed in the unlocked position, wherein the lift frame can be freely lifted or lowered relative to the mast.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for loading and assembling disposable hand-held label applicators (“labelers”) in which individual unbacked labels are cut and loaded in a stacked arrangement into a tubular labeler. The labeler is operable in the rapid and flexible fashion necessary to utilize the devices on irregularly shaped objects, as well as flat surfaces, without the need for mechanisms designed to peel away a backing material or rollers to apply moisture or adhesive to a label before application.
