ABSTRACT:
A labeling machine for successively applying flexible plastic labels to round containers, such labeling machine incorporating equipment to sever labels from a web of indefinite length thereof, to apply a leading edge of each of such labels to the periphery of a rotating vacuum drum, heating the leading and trailing edges of each such label while on the rotating vacuum drum by directing warm air thereagainst to heat such leading and trailing edges to a temperature at which the material therein becomes self-adhesive, and bringing the heated leading edge of the label on the vacuum drum into contact with a container rolling along a curved surface at a label transfer station to cause the label to transfer to the container and to eventually wind itself around the rolling container, thereby causing the heated leading and trailing edges of the label to adhere to the container or, in the case of a label whose length exceeds the circumference of the container, to cause the trailing edge of the label to adhere to the overlapped leading edge thereof.
