Definitions

  • This invention relates to a convertible labeling machine.
  • Labeling machines are of several types. For example one type of labeling machine pulls a continuous length of label stock from a roll of such stock, feeds the label stock through a cutting station where it is severed into individual labels by a cut extending entirely across the strip of label material, applies each severed label to a rotating vacuum drum which picks up the label at a label receiving station, holds the label on its cylindrical surface and transports the label to a label applying station. Between the two stations glue may be applied to the leading and/or trailing ends of the label to adhere it to a container or a solvent may be applied to form an adhesive in situ on a label or heat may be applied to soften the label material and cause it to become adhesive.
  • a container transport causes containers to pass by the vacuum drum in tangent contact with the label on the drum.
  • the label may be released by release of vacuum at the point of tangent contact or, as in U.S. Patent No. 4,500,386, it may be confined between the vacuum drum and an arcuate pad which is concentric to the drum.
  • This invention is concerned primarily with a label feed or supply up to the point where the label is received from the label supply mechanism and is deposited on the vacuum drum for transport to a label applying station.
  • Various label transports may be employed, for example vacuum belts, but the invention is illustrated with reference to the preferred label transport which is a rotating vacuum drum.
  • Various container transports and label applicators may be employed, for example those of U.S. Patents Nos. 4,500,386; 3,834,963; or 4,108,709.
  • the continuous label feed may be of the type shown in the following U.S. Patents: Nos. 3,765,991; 3,834,963; 4,108,711; 4,181,555; 4,406,721; 4,500,386; 4,519,868 and 4,704,173. Other label feeds may also be employed.
  • label feed is what is known as the "cut and stack” feed in which labels are pre-cut and are arranged in a stack in a magazine from which they are extracted one at a time and supplied to a vacuum drum.
  • label feeds is that of U.S. Patent 3,472,722 and a preferred type of stack feed is that described in United States patent application entitled “STACK FED LABELING MACHINE", filed October 28, 1988, Serial No.
  • Yet another type of label feed is used with pressure sensitive labels which are adhered to a continous strip of backing material.
  • the labels are peeled from the backing and supplied to a vacuum drum and the backing is then rolled up and disposed of.
  • machines for example a roll fed machine, a cut and stack machine, a die cut machine and a pressure sensitive machine.
  • machines for example a roll fed machine, a cut and stack machine, a die cut machine and a pressure sensitive machine.
  • to provide separate machines for each of these modes of operation is expensive and cumbersome both from a capital standpoint inasmuch as different machines must be purchased or built and from the standpoint of maintenance and operation.
  • replacement of a total machine in a line setup is time consuming (resulting in extended line shutdown and is consequently very expensive.
  • a single vacuum drum (or other type of label transport) vith associated equipment such as a glue applicator and a single container feed and label applying component are provided with two or more label feed modules each of which can be quickly removed and installed.
  • the machine there shown is generally designated by the reference numeral 10 and it comprises a roll 11 of label stock 12.
  • a spare roll is shown at 11A.
  • a container transport is shown at 13 comprising a conveyor 14, a star wheel 15, an indexing member 16 to supply containers in timed and spaced relation to the star wheel, a container guide 17 and a curved pad 18 to hold containers against the vacuum drum 19 to wrap labels about the containers.
  • These elements serve to secure the label more securely to the container.
  • the star wheel 15 and the guide 17 and pad 18 will be recognized as components of the machine of U.S. Patent 4,500,386. It will be understood that other types of container feed and label applicator may be used.
  • an electric control panel 23 Also shown are an electric control panel 23.
  • the label stock 12 passes around rollers such as those shown at 25, 26 and 27 which may embody a dancer mechanism to maintain appropriate tension on the label stock.
  • Shown at 30 is a main frame plate beneath which various drive elements, which are not shown but are well known in the art, are mounted.
  • the vacuum drum 19 is mounted on the main frame plate 30, being driven (rotated about its cylinder axis) from beneath the main frame plate.
  • a glue applicator 32 which may, for example, oscillate toward and away from the labels on the vacuum drum, or ridges may be employed on the vacuum drum to elevate the leading and trailing ends of the drum to contact the glue applicator. See, for example, U.S. Patent 3,834,963.
  • a plate 40A which fits within or onto the main plate 30 and secured thereto by suitable, standard means (not shown), for example by bolts such that it can be readily installed or removed as desired.
  • rollers 41 to guide the label stock a feed roller 42 to pull the label stock from the roll 11 and a cutter 43 which may be of the general type shown in U.S. Patent No. 3,834,963 including a rotary cutter 44 and a pivoting cutter 45 such as shown at 142 and 146, respectively, in Figure 9 of such patent.
  • a sprocket 46 mounted on the main frame plate 30 and driven from beneath such plate, a sprocket 47 mounted on the plate 40A and a chain 48 connecting the two sprockets.
  • the sprocket 47 drives the roller 42 and the cutter 43.
  • the plate 40A together with the elements mounted on it constitute a module 50A. All mechanical drive power to the module 50A is provided by this interface, i.e. the sprocket 46 connected to the drive of the machine as a whole, the sprocket 47 connected to the mechanically driven elements of the module and the chain 48 connecting the two sprockets.
  • an air pressure fitting or connector 55 and a vacuum fitting or connector 56 which may be connected to a source of air pressure and vacuum, respectively, of the machine and which are connectable to quick release fittings or connectors 57 and 58, respectively, which connect through lines 59 and 60, respectively, to appropriate parts of the module 50A.
