ABSTRACT:
A label applicator applies adhesive labels to opposite surfaces of a piece of stock. The labels are affixed to a backing sheet having turning strips on a leading edge thereof. The backing sheet is advanced along a label tray in a manner that peels a first portion of a label from the backing sheet and feeds the peeled portion to a transfer point. A piece of stock is placed on a stock tray such that the area to which the label is to be applied is under the transfer point. The stock tray is tilted to bring the first surface of the piece of stock into contact with the first portion of the label at the transfer point. Continued tilting of the stock tray causes the label to be squeezed between the stock and a plate and to peel a second portion from the backing sheet. The plate is linked to a wrapping roller by bars and levers. Further tilting of the stock tray against the plate forces the wrapping roller, through pivoting and sliding motions of the bars and levers, to travel along a path that contacts the second portion of the label and wraps it around the piece of stock and applies it to the second surface thereof.
