Definitions

  • the arrangement 7 is such that the labels are withdrawn from one or more oscillating label holders or containers by means of a cylinder having adhesive segments and are applied to the articles to be labeled by means of a conveying unit interposed therebetween.
  • oscillating label holders impose a substantial limitation to the output of the machine since in the event of the oscillating movement of the label holders being too rapid the labels can no longer be held securely in the holders.
  • the label holders cannot be oscillated at any desired high speed in view of the fact that due to the constant reversal of movement and the resultant acceleration and deceleration of the holders inadmissible forces develop which result in a rapid and serious wear of the respective components.
  • a salient object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus which eliminates the above-mentioned difficulties and disadvantages existing in the art.
  • the problems existing have been solved by the provision of segments having curved surfaces adapted to have an adhesive applied thereto and in which each segment is provided with a radius of curvature which corresponds to the shortest distance between the center of rotation of the support and the plane of withdrawal of the stack of labels. Furthermore, the
  • cam control members in the nature oflevers are provided and one arm of the levers includes a toothed segment which coacts with a gear wheel positioned on the segment while the other arm includes a roller cooperable with a cam track.
  • the apparatus includes a stationary holder for the labels and from which holder the labels are withdrawn individually, a rotatable supportlocated in operativerelationship to the holder, segments rotatably mounted on the support, each segment having a curved surface adapted to receive an adhesive material so that when such segment moves past the holder during rotation of the support, the outermost label in the holder is attached to the curved surface thereby being withdrawn from the holder and con-' veyed to the article to be labeled, and the radius of curvature of the surface of the segment corresponding'to the shortest distance between the axis of rotation of the support and the plane of withdrawal of each label from'the holder.
  • the segmentscould be designed as suction members, in which situation the segments would roll over the stack of labels, withdraw the outermost label, move the label past a gluing roller and thereafter apply the label to the article.
  • thermoplastic coating it is also possible in a situation in which labels having a thermoplastic coating are being processed, and which coating is rendered adhesive by the influence of heat, to employ a heating means in lieu of the gluing roller for activating the coating on the label.
  • the invention further comprehends the employment of a conveying means for transferring the labels from the segments to the articles to be labeled, there being associated with the conveying means a plurality of rotatable supports provided with the segments and which segments alternatively transfer the labels to the conveying means.
  • FIGURE 1 is a top plan view of a support provided with a plurality of segments embodying the present invention
  • FIGURES 29 diagrammatically illustrate the various swinging movements of a segment during the withdrawal of a label from the label holder
  • FIGURE 10 is a fragmentary top plan view of an embodiment of the invention in which two supports provided with segments are operably associated with a conveying means.
  • the means for removing single labels comprises a support 2 provided with segments 1 and the support 2 rotates about axis 3.
  • Each segment 1 is mounted rotatably on the support 2 via shafts 4 and is equipped with fixed gear wheels 5.
  • levers 6 are mounted on the support 2 and are swingable about centers of rotation 7.
  • One arm of each lever 6 is provided with a toothed segment 8 which coacts with the gear wheel and the other arm of the lever carries a roller 9 adapted to run along a cam track 10.
  • a gluing roller 11 to which glue or other adhesive material may be supplied by means not shown, is positioned in proper relationship to the support 2.
  • glue is applied to the curved surface of the segment as the segment moves past the roller 11.
  • Labels 12 are positioned in a stationary of fixed holder 13 located in the path of movement of the segments 1.
  • a conveying means 15 provided with grippers 14 which apply the labels removed from the segments 1 to the articles 16 to be labeled.
  • FIGURES 2-9 is illustrated the travel path of one segment during the process of removing a single label 12 from the holder 13. While normally, that is to say, during the gluing application and the transfer of the labels to the conveying means 15, the segments 1 rotate along path 17 denoted by the dot-dash lines. However, the segment is swung out from the rotational path 17 in the zone of the label holder 13 and this particular movement occurs following the application of glue to the curved surface of the segment 1 via the roller 11 by means of the coaction between the toothed segment 8 and the gear wheel 5, with the segments 8 receiving a suitable motion control by way of the roller 9 and cam track 10.
  • the segment 1 beginning with its rear edge viewed in the direction of rotation, rolls over the outermost label in the holder 13 and after the withdrawal of such label, as disclosed in FIGURE 9, again moves into its initial position wherein the curved surface coincides with the arc of the path 17. In that position, the segment 1 upon further rotation of the support 2 transfers the thus withdrawn label 12 to the grippers 14 of the conveying means 15.
  • FIGURE 10 there are provided two rotatable supports 2' provided with segments 1 and both supports 2' coact with a con veying means 15'.
  • This particular arrangement results in an increase of the output of the machine without an increase in the speed of withdrawing single labels.
  • the conveying device which is provided with six grippers 14' is supplied with labels alternatively by the supports 2' via the segments 1' and secures the labels to the articles 16' which are conducted in an upright condition past the conveying device 15' on a conveyer track or the like 18.
  • the conveying means 15' and grippers 14 it is possible to utilize a conveying means equipped with a suitable suction component.
  • An apparatus for applying labels to bottles and similar articles comprising a stationary holder for labels and from which holder the labels are withdrawn individually, a rotatable support located in operative relationship to the holder, segments rotatably mounted on the support, each segment having a curved surface adapted to receive an adhesive material so that when such segment moves past the holder during rotation of the support, the outermost label in the holder is attached to the curved surface thereby being withdrawn from the holder and conveyed to the article to be labeled, and the radius of curvature of the surface of the segment corresponding to the shortest distance between the axis of rotation of the support and the plane of withdrawal of each label from the holder.
  • the label applying apparatus as claimed in claim 1 including means swingably mounting each segment on the support whereby such segment rolls off on the withdrawal plane of the label holder, with such withdrawal plane being located tangentially to the curved surface of the segment.
  • the label applying apparatus as claimed in claim 2 including means for effecting a swinging movement of the segment out of the arc of rotation of the segment prior to withdrawal of a label from the holder and a swinging movement after passing the holder.
  • cam control means include a cam lever, a toothed segment on the cam lever and a gear wheel on the segment with which the toothed segment coacts.
  • the label applying apparatus as claimed in claim 1 further including at least two rotatable supports and a rotatable conveying means located between said two sup ports for transferring the labels from the segments to the articles to be labeled.
