ABSTRACT:
A tire labeling apparatus feeds labels that are releasably adhered to a carrier web from a supply reel to a label dispensing station where the labels are transferred one at a time from the web to an application roller. At the dispensing station, the carrier web is tightly reversely bent to assist in sequentially "peeling" labels therefrom; spent web material is withdrawn from the dispensing station and collected on a collection reel; and, each newly "peeled" label is subjected to a jet of pressurized air that forces the indicia-carrying face of the label into engagement with a curved, label-receiving portion of the circumference of the application roller. Holes open through the label-receiving portion of the application roller, and ambient air is drawn through these holes to generate air pressure differential forces that releasably retain each newly dispensed label in place on the application roller. As the application roller is moved between the dispensing station and the application station, a resilient roller and a label reader move with it. At the application station, the application roller transfers the one label that it carries to a rotating bead portion of a tire; the resilient roller assures that each newly applied label conforms to the curved shape of the tire bead portion to which it is applied; and, the label reader reads the label's indicia.
