ABSTRACT:
A label marker for a confined area, such as between a stack of labels to be imprinted, and ink pad, and a closely disposed conveyor for articles to which the labels are to be affixed, has a print head which reciprocates between and ink pad and the exposed label in the stack of labels. The print head is mounted at the end of a shaft, above which is disposed a combination rotator and reciprocator for causing the shaft and the print head to execute a combined rotary and reciprocating motion between the ink pad and the label stack. In a sequence beginning with the print head disposed against the ink pad, the combination reciprocator and rotator causes the ink pad to move linearly away from the ink pad, execute a rotation of 180.degree., and again execute a linear motion toward the exposed label for imprinting thereon. After imprinting, a print head moves linearly away from the now-imprinted label, executes a 180.degree. rotation in the opposite direction, and again moves linearly toward the ink pad for re-inking.
