Definitions

  • This invention refers to a reversible label applicator head for self-adhesive labels according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Labelling heads are used in the bottling process for the attachment of an adhesibe label to each bottle leaving the plant. Some machines are for affixing a label as such and others for tagging or the attachment of so-called "counter labels" or tickets.
  • Bottles may be presented to the machine from various directions and the heads referred to may be left or right handed to deal with the direction in which the bottles are transferred in the machine. This occasions considerable difficulties in setting the machine in that it may require a re-assembly of the machine in the appropriate form with a consequent loss of time during the setting for production.
  • DE-U 87 06 722 discloses a reversible label applicator head in accordance with the preamble of claim 1.
  • the support means are formed by a plate which is symmetrical in respect to a centre line which goes through the motor, dividing the plate in two halves.
  • the label carrier tape reel and the bare tape collector reel can be changed from one half to the other depending whether the end of the applicator arm where the labels are separated from the tape should be arranged on left or the right side of the plate. For changing the applicator arm from one side to the other still various manipulations are necessary, however.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a reversible label applicator head which is set up with a very simple change over to the left or to the right side as maybe desired, thus reducing the costs in production with a decreased setting-up time.
  • the label applicator head as disclosed herein consists of an assembly which includes the label carrier tape reel, rollers for withdrawing and for guiding the tape with the additional feature of having the applicator arm detachable from the support means for supporting the applicator arm, allowing it to be easily fitted with its end, where the labels are separated from the tape, to either the left or the right hand side of said support means.
  • Figures 1 and 2 show respectively a labelling head of the "L" type in both the left hand and the right hand configuration.
  • Figures 3 and 4 show similarly the two options as applied to the linear type head.
  • the labelling head comprises, in accordance with this patent a label reel or spool -1- from which the strip or label carrier tape -2- leaves tangentially, being guided by the first guide roller -3- then passing to an upper guide roller -4- which is located at the level of the centre of the label reel -1-along the length -5- of the tape which is then guided by a third roller -6- along the arm -7- which has at its extremity the plate -8- where the label is separated from its carrier tape.
  • the tape -9- then passes without its labels down to an intermediate roller -10- then on to a further intermediate roller -11- and on to the bare tape collector reel -12-.
  • Other devices on the head unit include among others a control device -12- and the driving motor -14-.
  • a characteristic of the labelling head which is the object of this patent is that the tape withdrawal rollers -11- rotate in the same direction of rotation as shown by arrow A, independent whether in left hand or right hand operation, this making it an essential feature, the arrangement as shown with the first guide roller -3- in the plane of symmetry of the label carrier reel -1- and the position of the roller -4- at the level of the centre line of the reel -1- as well as the position of the guide roller -6-. Both the roller -4- and the roller -6- are duplicated as shown as roller -4′-and -6′- arranged symmetrically with respect to the rollers -4- and -6-.
  • Figure 2 shows that with the left hand configuration the label carrier tape -2- also leaves the label reel -1 tangentially, passing by the same guide roller -3- then to the upper roller -4′- then on to the guide roller -6′-, symmetrical to roller -6- and on to the arm -7- which will have been fitted to the left.
  • the reel -15- is carried on the arm -16- which is a prolongation of the applicator arm -17-.
  • the first roller -18- is positioned in its own line of symmetry with rollers -19- and -19′- lying symmetrical with respect to the central plane so allowing the tape to be drawn to the left or right without altering other components.
  • the labelling head can be used for either left or right hand feed with the minimum of setting time given the design of the head with its easily removable applicator arm or the components carried by the arm and which can be fitted either one side or the other.
