Abstract

See full text

A labeling mechanism (10) for sequentially dispensing labels (49) from a backing strip (51) onto articles includes a pair of pinch bars (74) each having a knife edge (76) which bears against the rear edges of the labels (49) and downwardly against the backing strip (51) to move the labels along a pressure plate (66). The pinch bars (74) move in a linear reciprocating manner so as to push the labels (49) and backing strip (51) toward a labeling head (104) which also moves in a reciprocating manner and transfers the labels (49) from the backing strip (51) by means of air suction as the labels are stripped from the backing strip (51) by a knife edge (70). When the articles to be labeled are sensed as being in proper position, a positive air stream is pneumatically directed through the labeling head (104), thereby blowing the labels (49) onto the articles.
