  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
