摘要:
An apparatus and method is described herein for automatically labeling using labels having a fluid activatable adhesive along the back surface of the label. The apparatus includes a dispensing magazine for retaining a stack of labels, a first rotating transfer member, and an adhesive activation station aligned with the rotating transfer member. The dispensing magazine includes a dispensing end and a loading end. The first rotating transfer member is rotated in close proximity to the stack of labels and includes at least one belt having multiple openings for communication of suction to enable the belt to receive and releasably secure the front of the labels. The adhesive activation station is configured to apply to a fluid to the back of the labels to activate the adhesive such that the adhesive becomes tacky along the back surface of the label.

A labeling apparatus and method for applying individual labels onto individual objects moving along a conveyor includes a label delivery mechanism configured to hold a plurality of the labels and operable to deliver individual ones of the labels adjacent to the conveyor. A non-contact adhesive spray applicator including at least one nozzle having a plurality of individual adhesive discharge orifices may be positioned and arranged to discharge adhesive from the orifices onto either the labels or the objects such that the labels may be respectively adhered to the objects.
摘要:
A label printer/applicator is provided which includes a cutting mechanism for severing a label from a continuous web in which the cutting mechanism applies a generally consistent cutting pressure. The cutting mechanism for the label printer and applicator can also accumulate excess adhesive in a recess during cutting operations.

A label printer/applicator with improved label cutting, control and application has a control valve for alternately fluidly interconnecting an applicator head with a supply of pressurized air, a suction source and a neutral position. An atomizer nozzle is positioned beneath an applicator head for activating moisture-activated adhesives often provided on labels. An air jet nozzle beneath the applicator head prevents cantilever bending of a label exiting a printer and travelling toward the applicator head. A label can be controllably positioned beneath the applicator head by applying suction to the applicator head to retain the label to the applicator head, positioning an object to be labeled beneath the applicator head, releasing the suction to the applicator head and applying pressurized air to the applicator head to blow the label off of the applicator head and toward the object, and releasing the pressurized air from the applicator head without reapplying suction to the applicator head until another label is positioned beneath the applicator head.

An improved adhesive application assembly (70) for a labeling machine (2) includes an adhesive sprayer (76) which directs heated adhesive (88) towards labels (60) passing the adhesive application station (70). A moving heated adhesive shield (80) includes one or more windows (84), through which the adhesive is sprayed, surrounded by a heated overspray-intercepting surface (90). The intercepted adhesive is collected for reuse.

A non-contact glue applicator for dispensing high viscosity adhesives in a straight line onto card stock or heavy paper, which includes an outer body connected to source of glue under pressure, which body has an extruder nozzle attached thereto, which body also carries an activator solenoid to which a metallic needle is attached which carries an O-ring seal which is in selective contact with the nozzle to permit controlled adhesive flow from the nozzle orifice.
摘要:
A method of and apparatus for stacking articles which is used in the embodiment herein to stack plastic carriers for holding a plurality of filled containers, wherein each carrier has a top panel and a skirt extending downwardly therefrom. Articles are successively moved into a prestacking position and then elevated into a lifting rack. The rack is reciprocated up a guideway, for receiving a plurality of the articles and maintaining them in a stacked relationship, to a stack support means and then back down to receive more articles from the pre-stacking position. The guideway is preferably provided with an open side for removal of a stack of articles, and is tilted away from the open side to retain the articles therein by gravity. To enable smoother transfer of articles from the pre-stacking position to the lifting rack, the articles are inclined at the pre-stacking position to an angle which is perpendicular to the inclined guideway and elevated into the rack.
摘要:
An apparatus and method is described herein for automatically labeling using labels having a fluid activatable adhesive along the back surface of such label. The apparatus has multiple pallets each being positionable with the lowermost label of a stack of one or more labels to releasably secure by suction the label against the pallet, and multiple pads each being positionable with respect to pallets to receive labels from the pallets and then releasably retain such labels until application onto containers. Fluid for activating adhesive is applied by an applicator onto labels retained upon the pad to change the fluid activatable adhesive along the label's back surface from a non-tacky state to a tacky state just prior to application of the label onto container.
