Abstract
Abstract An apparatus is disclosed for successively affixing labels to packages. The labels are successively fed between an adhesive applying roller and a pressure roller. A coating roller is immerged within a reservoir of adhesive and means are provided to rotationally drive the coating roller to coat the periphery of the adhesive applying roller with adhesive. The pressure roller and the coating roller are each mounted for movement away from the adhesive applying roller in response to a command signal representative of a condition wherein the particular package to which a label is to be affixed is missing. Means are also provided for temporarily stopping the feeding of labels in response to the command signal.
