ABSTRACT:
An improved labelling system for automatically applying labels one at a time in sequence to a series of items, such as post cards, etc., is disclosed. Post cards or other articles are conveyed one at a time to a labelling position. Separately, a carrier web, releasably carrying adhesive labels, is also conveyed to the labelling position. The carrier web is sharply reversed about a narrow edge, enabling the label to be peeled off and applied to a post card or the like being conveyed automatically underneath. A plurality of pairs of elements, including drive rollers and pressure-applying devices cooperating therewith, are utilized to controllably advance the carrier web through the labelling unit. As a feature of novelty, the labelling unit is pivotally mounted in relation to the conveying means for the post cards or the like. When the labelling unit is pivoted away from the conveying path, all of the cooperating pressure members are automatically retracted from their respective driving rollers or other cooperating elements, so that the carrier web is entirely freed from its driving and controlling elements. This greatly expedites and facilitates the threading of label carrier webs into the system.
