ABSTRACT:
A labelling device having a main body member mounted on its frame for rotation about a central axis. The device includes a labelling station, a glue applicator station and a label applicator station circumferentially spaced about a central axis. At least one arm member is slidably mounted on the main body member and projects radially from the central axis. A head is pivotally mounted on each arm for movement about a secondary axis parallel to the central axis. The head has an outer surface which is curved in the plane of rotation of the head about the central axis and is rotatable with the main body with the outer surface disposed in a path passing through the label storage, glue applicator and label applicator stations. The outer surface of the head has a leading edge disposed in the direction of rotation of the main body and a trailing edge disposed in the opposite direction. First guide means is provided for guiding the head to pivot about the second axis to angularly incline the head to a first position as it approaches the label storage station in which the trailing edge of the head is disposed radially outwardly of the leading edge whereby the trailing edge is the first portion of the head to engage the label in the storage station, the first guide means being adapted to cause the head to pivot about the second axis from the first position to a second position in which the leading edge is disposed radially outwardly of the trailing edge whereby the outer surface is rocked about the second axis during movement of the head through the label storage station. Suction means is provided for securing the label to the outer surface of the head as it moves through the label storage station to be transferred thereby to the labelling station.
