Abstract

A labelling machine comprises a self-regulating arresting member (12) of a label (6) holder tape (5). The arresting member is able to press the tape (5) against an abutting surface (13) when a label has to be applied on a destination surface and it releases said tape (5) when, on the action of a control device (14) the tape (5) is actuated to advance. The labelling machine further comprises a printing device (38) whose inking roller (42) is associated to a device (44) that enables it to be engaged easily and conveniently on a respective support arm (39). The support arm in turn is advantageously connected to an access door (53) to internal areas of the labelling machine, whose opening determines the exit of the support arm (39) and the exposure of the inking roller (42).

5. A labelling machine as claimed in any one of claims 1-4, wherein said control device (14) comprises at least a thrust portion directly engaged against one end of said first element (20) of said arresting member (12) opposite said second element (24), said thrust portion maintaining said arresting member (12) in arresting condition when said control device (14) is in first condition and allowing the reduction of the pressure against the abutting surface (13) when said control device (14) is in second condition.
6. A labelling machine as claimed in any one of claims 1-5, wherein said actuating device (11) comprises at least a drive roller (28) pivotally engaged to the structure (2) along said path of advance of said tape (5) and downstream of said area of application (9) of said at least one label (6), said drive roller (28) partially defining said path of advance of said tape (5) and being able to be actuated in rotation according to a predefined angle of rotation to advance said tape (5) according to a respective predetermined measure of advance.
7. A labelling machine as claimed in claim 6, wherein said control device (14) is operatively connected to said drive roller (28) to actuate said drive roller (28) in rotation around a respective axis of rotation ("W") when said arresting member (12) is in release condition.
