ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to an assembly for applying labels to the longitudinal surface of cylindrical articles. The assembly includes a label dispenser which carries the labels to a label station and dispenses them, one at a time, at the labelling station. The labels are carried on a backing tape and are slid off the tape at the labelling station. The assembly also includes means for advancing the articles to the labelling station, for example, a walking beam, and means for supporting the article at the labelling station so that it is free to rotate about its longitudinal axis. A cylindrical roller is disposed in a two position parallel arrangement with an article at the labelling station such that, in one position, the roller is spaced from the article and, in a second position, the roller is in physical contact with the article along a longitudinal contact line. Means are provided for moving the roller to its two positions, and further means are provided for rotating the roller about its longitudinal axis. The label dispenser is adapted to dispense a label adjacent to the contact line when the roller is in the second position. Thus, when the roller is in the second position, it will cause the article at the labelling station to rotate, and the label dispensed by the dispenser will be rolled around the longitudinal surface of the article at the labelling station. The pressure of the roller on the article will cause the label to adhere to the surface of the article.
