It is known, particularly in the textile industry, to measure

The object of the present invention is to provide an improved measuring labelling machine which eliminates or

of labeling and is economical to manufacture and safe

and reliable operation.

The above and other purposes and advantages of the invention, here?

piston 28 of a pneumatic cylinder 4 within a

structure stiffened by a 9 block sliding on guides

for the purpose that the footage be erased by the numerator, who, EUGENIO ROBBA, having restored the normal direction of travel, returns to carry out

the_numbering, progressive and starting from the last label

printed.

+_ By means of a support 31 integral with the piston of the cylinder 4, the pressing organ, better illustrated in fig. 3, is connected to and acts simultaneously with the numerator organ 14.

| . With reference to fig. 3, the pressing member consists of a shaft 22 connected to the support 31, which slides

+1e.vertically and determines the lowering and ? raising

(of the shaft 22. The shaft 22 contains a helical spring-?

(;The pressure of wheel 37 on the label is therefore transmitted to

from the shaft 22 through the spring 23, the degree of compression of which can be determined a priori by the operator depending on the

specific circumstances of the case.

4 _ According to the invention, the numerator organ assembly 14 - or.
