ABSTRACT:
In a hand labelling apparatus for printing and dispensing labels from a label strip including a carrier tape where the labels are adhered to the tape, a tape feed mechanism for stepwise feeding the label strip in a forward direction to a peel edge at which point the labels are substantially separated from the carrier tape, a printing mechanism having changeable type where the distance between the printing zone of the printing mechanism and the peel edge exceeds the length of each of the labels, a return member for feeding the label strip in a return direction opposite to the forward direction, an operating lever pivotable between a rest position and a working position where the operating lever is connected to the return member and the tape feed and printing mechanisms so that, during movement of the operating lever from the rest position to the working position, the return member feeds the labels in the return direction to the print zone where one of them is printed, a return stop member for disabling the return member for a predetermined portion of the movement of the operating lever between its rest and working positions so that the label strip movement in the forward direction exceeds that in the return direction by an amount equal to the length of one label so that no printed labels remain in the labelling apparatus even though the distance between the peel edge and the printing zone exceeds the length of each label.
