ABSTRACT:
A machine for the application of pressure sensitive wrap around labels to product containers. The machine includes a rotatable product table to hold and transport the containers to be labeled, each of which is held on the table at one of a plurality of closely spaced rotatable container holding stations around the periphery of the table. Conveyor and spacer means are provided for sequentially feeding containers to be labeled to the product table and for sequentially removing the labeled containers, the rotation of the product table and the container holding stations being in timed coordination with the feeding and removing means. A plurality of spaced apart wrap around label application stations are positioned adjacent to the product table between the feeding and removing means. Each wrap around applicator station includes a supply reel of pressure sensitive label face stock carried on a releasable backing web and a takeup reel for the backing web after removal of the label therefrom. A drive roller transports the tape intermittently between the supply and takeup reels. An articulated pivoted reciprocating label applying shuttle arm directs the path of travel of the label stock and backing web between the supply and takeup reels. The end of the shuttle arm extends into the path of travel of the container holder stations on the product table so as to be in pressure engagement with the containers held on the table. The shuttle arm is reciprocated in timed coordination with rotation of the product table and container holding stations so that as a label is released from the backing web it is pressed into engagement with a product container and wrapped around the container as it rotates in its station and is transported by the product table.
