Abstract: The invention relates to a labelling apparatus comprising a blow device which allows compressed-air controlled delivery of a label to an object to be labelled, wherein the blow device comprises a compressed-air providing device, a plurality of nozzles for applying compressed air to the label, a distribution space which is operatively connected for fluid communication with the compressed-air providing device and the nozzles, and at least one deflector which is arranged in the distribution space, wherein the distribution space has arranged therein a porous device which surrounds the at least one deflector.

Abstract: To improve a printing apparatus for printing an information carrier on a carrier tape, comprising a printing head, a first transport device by means of which the carrier tape is guidable past the printing head, and a second transport device by means of which a transfer tape is guidable past the printing head and which upon activation by the printing head causes an information carrier to be printed, with the contact pressure of the printing head on the transfer tape and on the carrier tape and the transfer tape feed by the second transport device being controllable in such a manner that the carrier tape is guidable past the printing head with a difference in speed relative to the transfer tape, such that this is of space-saving design and operates effectively, provision is made for the printing head to be pneumatically liftable away from the transfer tape.

Abstract: The printing device comprises a print head unit, a transporting device for the printing material and a structural housing board on which the print head unit and the transporting device are mounted at one end in cantilevered manner and in a predetermined relationship relative to one another. The transporting device comprises a stiff support member which is rigidly connected to the housing board, a mounting member which extends substantially parallel relative to the housing board and is held on the stiff support member, and at least one transport roller for the transportation of the strip of printing material which is mounted at both ends. The stiff support member comprises connecting elements for releasably fixing th mounting member and also guide elements which co-operate with corresponding guide elements of the mounting member for exactly positioning the arrangement with reference to the support member.

Abstract: In order to enable those parts of the transporting device that come into contact with the strip of printing material in a printing device used for printing on printing material in the form of a roll, especially label and/or receipt rolls, to be easily replaced from the freely accessible insertion side of the strip without requiring subsequent adjustments, it is proposed that the printing device should comprise a print head unit, a transporting device for the printing material and a structural housing board on which the print head unit and the transporting device are mounted at one end in cantilevered manner and in a predetermined relationship relative to one another, wherein the transporting device comprises a stiff support member which is rigidly connected to the housing board, a mounting member which extends substantially parallel relative to the housing board and is held on the stiff support member, and at least one transport roller for the transportation of the strip of printing material which is mounted

Abstract: In order to make it possible to change over quickly and easily to different label sizes and shapes in a labeling apparatus for the application of labels to packages and goods comprising a label dispensing device and an air-blast labeling device, wherein the label dispensing device supplies labels individually from a supply to the air-blast labeling device and wherein the air-blast labeling device has an underpressure chamber with a suction plate having a plurality of openings for drawing in the labels supplied by the label dispensing device, a source of compressed air with a compressed-air distributor which has an air-blast plate arranged adjacent the suction plate and provided with a plurality of openings, as well as a compressed-air pulse generator which directs a blast of compressed air from the source of compressed air through the air-blast plate of the compressed-air distributor and through the suction plate against the label held by the suction plate in order to release this from the suction plate and c
