Abstract: The label transferring device for placing labels in a separable mold of a blow molding machine which includes a pair of movable platens which converge the mold portions and also move in unison to different blow molding stations of the machine. An articulating arm is mounted directly on one of the platens and includes a vacuum section head to transport the labels. The articulating arm moves the carrying head from a label supply magazine which is also mounted on the platen to a labeling position between the molds, so that both the articulating arm and supply magazine are carried by the platen as it moves to different blow molding stations. Preferably, an articulating arm having a plurality of carrying heads is mounted on each platen along with a label supply magazine.

Abstract: A label transferring device for blow molding machines which includes a sliding mold insert with a plurality of label carrying segments which are shifted into an access aperture communicative with the mold cavity. As the insert is shifted, each label carrying segment cooperates with the mold to form the cavity. A label transfer arm assembly removes a label from a supply magazine and places the label on one exposed label carrying segment while another label carrying segment is within the mold cavity undergoing the molding and label attachment process.
