ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for applying labels at selected locations thereon to such diverse artifacts as audio and video cassettes, compact and floppy discs, and envelopes and to a wide variety of other artifacts. The labels are peeled from a continuous backing supplied in roll or fanfold form by pulling the backing around the sharp edge of a peeler which is automatically elevated at an appropriate point in the operating cycle of the apparatus to facilitate the loading and unloading of the artifacts being labeled. A roller cooperates with the peeler in stripping the labels from the backing; and that roller, a second roller, or a brush is used to press the label onto the artifact being labeled. The artifact is supported by an interchangeable insert from a rectilinearly displaceable carriage. The use of interchangeable inserts and vaarious adjustment features allow the apparatus to be employed to: apply labels to different parts of an artifact, apply labels of different sizes and shapes to the artifact, and to apply labels to artifacts of various shapes and sizes. There is a common gear-type drive which effects displacement of the carriage through feed and reset strokes and operates two tractor-type feed mechanisms for the label feedstock; this common drive arrangement insures that the arrival of the artifact to be labeled at the locale of the label peeler and the separation of the label from its backing are so timed that the label is precisely applied to the wanted location on the artifact at the same time that the label is peeled from the backing.
