ABSTRACT:
A tag feeding machine particularly adapted for separating thin paper tags, of the type applied to feed bags, one at a time from a stack. A tag engaging member mounted on a movable arm and having a friction contact surface thereon is movable through a predetermined path on a displacement stroke wherein it contacts the first tag in a stack and buckles its leading edge out from engagement by a leading edge retaining member on a tag holder. As the tag engaging member moves back through a return stroke to a rest position, it carries the separated tag's leading edge forwardly to a freely disposed pickup location. Tag pickup means in the form of a swingable delivery arm having a pickup device on one end grips the freed leading edge of a separated tag and delivers it to an application location.
A printing head positioned adjacent the rear or trailing end of stacked tags is movable by power means on a printing stroke to apply printed matter to the first tag in a stack immediately prior to the buckling and separating of the leading edge of the first tag by the movement of the aforesaid tag engaging member on its displacement stroke.
