Abstract This device for gumming and dispensing labels comprises a rotary support carrying label-pick-up members, and adapted to cause said pick-up members to register in succession with a gumming cylinder, a fixed magazine containing the labels to be gummed, and a drum adapted to transfer these labels to the articles to be labelled, wherein said label pick-up members consist of cylinders or cylinder portions having a radius considerably smaller than that of the path described by their outermost generatrix during the rotation of said support, the axis of rotation of said cylinders or cylinder portions being off-set in relation to their longitudinal axis by a value determined to permit the rolling of said pick-up member on the gumming cylinder and on the first label of said magazine without slipping, said pick-up members being connected to means adapted to impart thereto a pivotal movement in either direction in relation to their rotary support, as they move past the different peripheral stations for gumming, picking-up and transferring said labels. (FIG. 1).
Device for gumming and dispensing labels, of the type comprising a rotary support carrying label pick-up members and adapted to cause said pick-up members to register in sucession with a gumming cylinder, a fixed magazine containing the labels to be gummed, and a drum adapted to transfer these labels to the articles to be labelled, wherein said label pick-up members consist of cylinders or cylinder portions having a radius considerably smaller than that of the path described by their outermost generatrix during the rotation of said support, the axis of rotation of said cylinders or cylinder portions being off-set in relation to their longitudinal axis by a value determined to permit the rolling of said pick-up member on the gumming cylinder and on the first label of said magazine without slipping, said pick-up members being connected to means adapted to impart thereto a pivotal movement in either direction in relation to their rotary support, as they move past the different peripheral stations for gumming, picking-up and transferring said labels.
