ABSTRACT:
A series of labels are applied to the top surfaces of a succession of articles such as containers being fed along a path by a conveyor, and each label is wiped downwardly against the corresponding container by a rotating paddle wheel applicator having outwardly projecting flexible vanes. One or more of the applicators are mounted on a shaft supported by brackets secured to a housing, and the shaft is driven by an endless belt connected to a motor enclosed within the housing. The applicator and motor form a part of a label applying unit which is supported for vertical adjustment by a pair of side support members mounted for horizontal adjustment on a base support member to provide for conveniently and quickly positioning the axis of the applicator according to the size of the labels and the height and width of the containers. Two of the label applicating units may be arranged on opposide sides of the path of articles or containers to provide for attaching opposite end portions of each label to opposite sides of the corresponding container.
