- Each said nozzle means may comprise a single nozzle having suitable valve means, e.g., a piezeoelectric valve, associated therewith by way of which it is connected to a source of a said substance under pressure, whereby the substance can be caused to issue from the nozzle as a continuous streamof droplets, and means may be provided for effecting relative movement between the nozzle means and a surface onto which the substance is to be directed and for selectively electrically charging said droplets and for selectively creating an electrical field or fields whereby said droplets can be selectively directed either to a required position on said surface or to a drain, e.g., for return to said source.
- suitable valve means e.g., a piezeoelectric valve
- each said nozzle means comprises a plurality of nozzles each of which is connected or connectable to a source of a said substance under pressure and each of which has valve means associated therewith for controlling the supply of the substance thereto and the apparatus comprises means for effecting relative movement between the nozzle means and a said surface.

- each nozzle means may be provided in a common nozzle block and are preferably aligned in a single row in spaced relation to one another so that they extend laterally of the direction of relative movement between the nozzle means and said surface.
- each nozzle means may have the same number of nozzles therein and the corresponding nozzles in the different nozzle means may be aligned in the direction of relative movement between the nozzle means and the surface, the control means being such that the valve means of corresponding nozzles of different nozzle means can be actuated in timed relation to one another and to the speed of relative movement between the nozzle means and the surface that the droplets projected by the corresponding nozzles will occupy the same position on the surface.
- the label applying machine illustrated therein comprises a pair of drive rollers 1 for drawing a tape or web 2, e.g., of gummed paper, from a roll 3 and passing it to a rotary cutter 4 which cuts the tape or web 2 into labels 5.
- the cut labels 5 are fed by drive rollers 6 to a conveyor 7 which carries them past nozzle means 8 to a label applying station 9.
- the conveyor 7 comprises a plurality of narrow endless belts which are spaced from one another and which pass around spaced drive and idler rollers 10 and 11 respectively.
- Suitable vacuum or suction means (not shown) is provided for holding the labels 5 on the conveyor 7 until they reach the label applying station 9.
- a series of air jet nozzles indicated diagrammatically by arrows 12 ejects each label from the conveyor 7 and onto an article (not shown) to which the label is to be applied.
- the roll 3 of tape or web 2 is replaced by a magazine 13 for holding pre-cut labels 5a and vacuum transfer means 14 is provided for feeding the pre-cut labels 5a direct to the label drive rollers 6.
- the nozzle means 8 is shown in Figures 3 and 4 and serves either to apply adhesive to the labels 5 if these do not already have adhesive thereon or to apply an activating agent, such as water or a suitable catalyst, to adhesive on the labels 5 if these have been pre-coated with adhesive.
- an activating agent such as water or a suitable catalyst
- the nozzle means 8 comprises a nozzle block 15 having a plurality of nozzles 16 formed therein, a plurality of electrically operated solenoid valves 17 each of which is connected to a nozzle 16 by means of a conduit 18, a terminal block 19 to which the solenoid valves 17 are electrically connected and which is itself electrically connected to suitable electronic control means (not shown), a manifold 20 to which each of the solenoid valves 17 is connected by means of a conduit 21, and a reservoir 22 which can be pressurized to supply adhesive or an activating agent under pressure to the manifold 20 by way of a conduit 23.
- each of the nozzles 16 comprises an insert 24 in a bore 25 in the nozzle block 15, the insert 24 having a bore 26 therein which provides the nozzle orifice, a counterbore 27 at one end of the bore 26 which provides a shroud around the outlet end of the bore 26 and a counterbore 28 at the other end of the bore 26 which receives one end of a conduit 18.
- the shroud 27 has been found to be useful particularly when adhesives containing volatile solvents are used because solvent vapour given off by the adhesive tends to collect therein and so assist in preventing drying of the adhesive in the nozzle bore 26.
- the solenoid valves 17 are commercially available fast-acting solenoid valves having a response time of from 1 0 0 microseconds to 50 milliseconds, preferably a response time of 3 milliseconds and a cycle time of about 1 0 milliseconds.
- the valves 17 may be either single-acting spring return valves or double-acting valves.
- the nozzle block 15 and the manifold 20 can be mounted on opposite sides of a base plate and the solenoid valves 17 and the terminal block 18 can be mounted therebetween to provide a very neat and compact arrangement.
- Each of the said nozzles 16 and its associated solenoid valve 17 is preferably such that when the valve 17 is actuated adhesive or an activating agent will issue from the nozzle 16 in the form of a small jet of short duration which will form a spot of adhesive or activating agent on a label 5, whilst said electronic control means is preferably programmable to selectively actuate the valves 17 so that spots of adhesive or activating agent can be applied to each label 5 either so as to cover substantially the whole of that surface thereof directed towards the nozzles 16 or in a required pattern on said surface.
- the ability to apply adhesive in a required pattern on each label 5 is particularly advantageous because it enables a minimum amount of adhesive to be used and considerable cost savings to be made, the cost of adhesive being significant when very large numbers of labels need to be applied.
- the embodiment illustrated therein comprises two nozzle means indicated generally as 111 and 111 1 which respectively comprise a plurality of nozzles 113, 113 1 for projecting a substance onto a side surface of a container 115 as the container travels on a conveyor 117.
- the nozzle means 111, 111 1 are connected by separate conduits 121, 121 1 with separate sources 119 (only one of which is shown) of two different substances under pressure so that a different one of said substances will be fed to each of the nozzle means 111, 111 1 .
- a microprocessor control means 123 selectively controls the projection of droplets of the two different substances from the nozzles 113, 113 1 onto container 115 in response to a message input device 125 which can be programmed by an operator.
- Photocells 127, 127 1 are associated with the nozzle means 111, 111 1 respectively for detecting the leading edge of the container 115 as it passes in front of the respective nozzle means 111, 111 1 , the photocells 127, 127 1 being connected to the control means 123 and being adapted to provide the control means 123 with signals indicative of the position and/or speed of travel of the container 115 along the conveyor 117.
- Figure 6 shows only the nozzle means 111 although it will be understood that the nozzle means 111 1 is identical thereto.
- the nozzle means 111 has a plurality of nozzles 113 provided in a common nozzle block 131.
- the nozzles are arranged in a single column in alignment with and at equally spaced intervals from one another, although other arrangements are possible such as arranging the alternate nozzles in two columns parallel with one another.
- the corresponding nozzles 113,113 1 of the two nozzle means 111,111 1 are horizontally aligned with one another, i.e., are aligned in the direction of travel of the container 115'
- Each nozzle 113 comprises a single aperture for the passage of a said substance.
- each nozzle 113 can comprise a plurality of apertures which provide the same cross-sectional area as the single aperture.
- the nozzles 113 are preferably jeweled orifice nozzles, such as the sapphire jewels used in acetylene torches and the like.
- the diameter of the jeweled orifice of each nozzle may be in the range of 0.025mm to 0.215mm, and preferably in the range of 0.145mm to 0.185mm.
- Each nozzle 113 is set in a nozzle block 131 preferably made of an inert material such as a suitable plastics.
- the nozzle block 131 may have a series of generally circular recesses therein for receiving the nozzles 113.
- the distance between the centre of the orifice of each nozzle 113 when the orifices are vertically aligned may be in the range of O.Olmm to 5.0mm and preferably is in the range of 0.05mm to 0.50mm.
- the nozzle block 131 is backed by a longitudinal strip 127.
- a series of rigid tubes 149 leading from the nozzles 113 project outward from the side of strip 147 opposite nozzle block 131.
- Tubes 149 and hence nozzles 113 are each in fluid communication with the output port 151 of a valve 153 by means of a fluid conduit 150.
- Conduits 150 are of any suitable commercially available conduit,e.g., of metal or plastics material and are preferably in the range of 0.127mm to 1.270mm in diameter.
- Valves 153 may be any suitable commercially available fast acting valve having an electrical cycle time in the range of from 0.1 to 10 milliseconds, preferably in the range of 1.0 to 4.5 milliseconds. Suitable valves can be either a single-acting spring return, a double acting electromagnetic solenoid valve or a piezeoelectric valve.- Preferably a single-acting spring return solenoid valve is used. Such a valve 153 typically has an output port 151 and an input port 155. Wires 173, 175 run from the solenoids of valves 153 to the control circuit of the control means 123 by means of a data cable 166.
- the input ports 155 of valves 153 are each in fluid communication with a common manifold 177 by means of fluid conduits 179 which are similar to conduits 150.
- Manifold 177 communicates with the pressurized source 119 by means of line 121.
- the components of the nozzle means 111 are conveniently housed within a generally rectangular box including bottom 181, end pieces 183, 185, and top 187. End piece 183 has a centrally located slot 189 adapted to receive nozzle block 131.
- the photocell 127 mounted on the nozzle means 111 detects the leading edge of a container 115 which is moving along conveyor 117.
- An electrical signal is fed to the control means 123 which has been programmed by the operator through input device 125 to direct the projection of droplets of a first substance in a desired pattern or arrangement, e.g., in a desired character message.
- the control means 123 is electrically connected to solenoid valves 153 by the wires 173, 175.
- Valves 153 are thus selectively and intermittently actuated by the electrical control means to allow said first substance to flow from manifold 177 through output ports 151 to nozzles 113 and onto the surface of the container 115.
- the selective actuation of the valves 153 by the control means 123 as the container 115 moves past the nozzle means 111 allows droplets of said first substance to be projected onto container 115 in a predetermined dot-matrix format.
- a further electrical signal will be fed to the control means 123 and the nozzle means 111 1 will be actuated in similar manner to the nozzle means 111 so that droplets of a second substance are projected onto the container 115 in the same pattern or arrangement as the first substance and so that the droplets of the second substance occupy the same positions on the container 115 as the droplets of the first substance.
- one or more further nozzle means could be provided for projecting droplets of one or more further substances onto the container 115.
- a third nozzle means could be provided downstream of the nozzle means 111 1 for projecting onto the container 115 droplets of a third substance from a pressurized source thereof.
- the third nozzle means will again be controlled by the control means 123.
- the three nozzle means can be so controlled that droplets of all three substances are projected at the same positions on the container 115 or so that droplets of the second substance are projected to the positions occupied by some of the droplets of the first substance whilst droplets of the third substance are projected to the positions occupied by the remainder of the droplets of the first substance.
- the three substances may be such that the first and second and the first and third substances react to give different colours and the control means may be programmed so that the projected droplets form alpha-numeric characters in a dot-matrix format wherein some of the dots comprise the first and second substances and are hence of one colour whilst others of the dots comprise the first and third substances and are of the other colour.
