Abstract

There is disclosed a method of, and apparatus for, continuously forming and affxing labels to capsules, the apparatus (10) comprises:
a combined mould and conveyor means (12) defining a plurality of spaced-apart mould cavities (30) for forming the labels (18) therein;
a dispenser means (14) communicating with the com­ bined mould and conveyor means (12) and adapted to discharge into one or more of the mould cavities (30) a quantity of flowable film-forming material (16) for forming one or more label;
a curing means (20) for curing the film-forming material (16) in one or more of the cavities (30), communicating with the mould and conveyor means (12), downstream of the dispenser means (14), to convert the film-forming material (16) into one or more label (18); and
a capule transport means (22) defining a plurality of spaced-apart capsule-holding regions, the transport means (22) communicating with the combined mould and conveyor means (12) downstream of the curing means (20), and being adapted to move in registry with the combined mould and conveyor means (12) in a manner such that, in use, a label (18) in a cavity (30) is brought opposite to, and transferred to, a capsule (24) in a holding region.
A capsule produced by the method and/or apparatus will have substantially improved tamper-resistant and tamper-­ evident capabilities over capsules listed in the prior art.
