ABSTRACT:
A labeling device for bottles and the like features a rotor turning about a vertical axis and having a plurality of semi-circular glue pallets arranged in a circle on the rotor and oscillated through a limited angle as the rotor rotates. The pallets, after having contacted a glue coated roller, encounter the foremost label in a magazine and adhere to the label for moving the label to a transfer drum from which it is applied to the vessel in labeling position. The rotor is supported in a gear box and the glue roller is connected in a detachable manner at its end most remote from the gear box with a rigid arm having a stud shaft that engages the glue roller in a roller bearing. The arm is also provided with a stud shaft that makes a releasable connection with the rotor coincident with its axis to provide further support for the arm. One end of the arm is supported in alignment with the rotor shaft and the other end of the arm is supported in a releasable fashion in a stationary support and the top support for the glue roller is in between these two supports. Supporting the glue roller against deflection of its rotatable axis from vertical allows for setting the edge of a scraper blade that the thickness of the glue film on the glue roller at exactly optimal distance rather than an excessive distance with might otherwise be needed if the glue roller were not prohibited from deflecting as a result of the force of the pallets which roll onto it intermittently.
