As shown in FIG. 1, the label attaching device 1 includes a container guide part 30, a label supply part (label temporary attaching part) 40, and a label attaching part 50.
(Container guide part 30)
The container guide part 30 is a conveyance path which can move the container 20 along the conveyance direction (X direction). The container 20 is transported along the container guide portion 30 from the X2 side (upstream side) in the transport direction toward the X1 side (downstream side). The operator grasps the container 20 placed on the container guide unit 30 on the X2 side (upstream side) from the label supply unit 40 and moves the container 20 along the container guide unit 30 to the X1 side (downstream side). Thereby, the container 20 is conveyed toward the X1 side (downstream side) from the X2 side (upstream side) of a conveyance direction.

  As shown in FIG. 2A, the container 20 of the present embodiment includes a cylindrical container body 21 and a lid 22 provided on the upper part of the container body 21. The container 20 stores various contents such as liquid, granule, and powder. The container 20 has a belt-like label 11 attached to the side surface of the container body 21. As shown in FIG. 2B, the longitudinal direction of the label 11 has a length corresponding to ½ of the outer periphery of the container body 21.

  Further, when the label 11 is affixed to the container 20, an adhesive layer 112 (described later) is formed on the inner first surface 11a, and an appealing surface is formed on the outer second surface 11b. . In FIG. 2B, reference numeral “E1” is a first adhesive region that is one adhesive region of the adhesive layer 112. Reference numeral “E2” is a second adhesion region that is the other adhesion region of the adhesion layer 112. As shown in FIG. 2B, the entire label 11 is attached to the front surface F in the transport direction (X direction) of the container 20. A front surface F in the transport direction of the container 20 corresponds to a position where a label 11 to be described later is attached. In the present embodiment, since the container body 21 is cylindrical, the surface on the side facing the transport direction is the front F of the container 20.

  The container guide unit 30 includes a roller conveyor 31 and a guide plate 32 as shown in FIG. The roller conveyor 31 is a transporting device in which a plurality of rotatable cylindrical rollers 311 are arranged along the transporting direction. Both ends in the longitudinal direction of the roller 311 are supported by a pair of frames (not shown) arranged along the transport direction. The guide plate 32 is a member for regulating the position of the container 20 conveyed on the roller conveyor 31 in the left-right direction (Y direction). As shown in FIG. 1A, the guide plates 32 are respectively arranged in the left-right direction (Y direction) with the roller conveyor 31 interposed therebetween. The guide plate 32 is formed of a hard plate material such as metal or plastic.

(Label supply unit 40)
As shown in FIG. 1A, the label supply unit 40 includes a label roll (label storage unit) 41, a release paper roll 42, a release plate (separation unit) 43, and a guide unit 44.
The label roll 41 contains the label sheet 10 in a roll shape. The label roll 41 is rotatably supported on a rotating reel (not shown).

As illustrated in FIG. 3A, the label sheet 10 includes a label 11 and a release paper 12.
As shown in FIG. 3B, the label 11 includes a base material 111 and an adhesive layer 112. The base material 111 is a sheet material on which a product name, product information, and the like are printed on the appeal surface (second surface 11b). The base material 111 is formed of, for example, paper, cloth, a resin sheet, or the like. The adhesive layer 112 is a layer that can be adhered to the side surface of the container 20, and is formed on the surface (first surface 11 a) opposite to the appeal surface in the label 11. The adhesive layer 112 is formed of, for example, an acrylic resin adhesive. The adhesive layer 112 and the base material 111 are bonded to each other with a stronger adhesive force than that between the release layer 122 (release paper 12) described later and the adhesive layer 112. Therefore, even if peeling occurs between the release layer 122 (release paper 12) and the adhesive layer 112, the adhesive layer 112 and the base material 111 are not peeled.

  As shown in FIG. 3B, the release paper 12 includes a base material 121 and a release layer 122. The substrate 121 is a member for holding the release layer 122. The base material 121 is formed of, for example, paper, a resin sheet, or the like. The peeling layer 122 is a layer having a low surface adhesion. The release layer 122 is formed, for example, by applying a solvent containing a silicon resin on the base material 121 and then curing it. When the release layer 122 of the release paper 12 is laminated on the adhesive layer 112 of the label 11, the adhesive layer 112 of the label 11 and the release layer 122 of the release paper 12 are bonded with a weak adhesive force. Further, the material of the base 121 and the release layer 122 is selected so that the release paper 12 has a lower bending rigidity than the label 11 as a whole.

  As shown in FIG. 3A, the dimension in the width direction of the release paper 12 (hereinafter also referred to as “s1 dimension”) is larger than the dimension in the short direction of the label 11 (hereinafter also referred to as “s2 dimension”). It is set to be long. By making the s1 dimension of the release paper 12 longer than the s2 dimension of the label 11, contact between the side edge in the vertical direction (Z direction) of the conveyed label 11 and the guide portion 44 (described later) is prevented. Generation | occurrence | production of the curvature of the label 11 when the release paper 12 is isolate | separated, inclination, etc. can be suppressed. The s1 dimension of the release paper 12 may be at least the same as the s2 dimension of the label 11. Further, the dimension in the longitudinal direction of the label 11 (hereinafter also referred to as “s3 dimension”) has a length corresponding to ½ of the outer circumference of the container body 21 as described above.

As shown in FIG. 3A, the label 11 is intermittently formed along the longitudinal direction of the label sheet 10. In the label sheet 10, a gap portion 13 is formed between adjacent labels 11. The space | interval part 13 is an area | region where the label 11 is not laminated | stacked, and has predetermined width | variety (for example, 5-10 mm). The spacing portion 13 is formed only on the label 11 side. Since the release paper 12 is formed in a long shape (band shape), the interval portion 13 is not formed.
As shown in FIG. 3C, the label sheet 10 pulled out from the label roll 41 peels the release paper 12 from the label 11 at the leading end 431 (described later) of the release plate 43. The release paper 12 from which the label 11 has been peeled is wound around a release paper roll 42 (described later).

  The release paper roll 42 is a roll of the release paper 12 separated from the label 11. The release paper roll 42 is rotatably supported on a rotating reel (not shown). A handle is connected to the rotating shaft of the rotating reel. The operator can pull out the label sheet 10 from the label roll 41 by a necessary length by performing an operation of rotating the handle of the release paper roll 42 counterclockwise. In the label sheet 10 pulled out from the label roll 41, the release paper 12 is separated from the label 11 in the release plate 43. Therefore, only the release paper 12 is wound on the release paper roll 42.

  The release plate 43 is a member that separates the release paper 12 from the label roll 41. The release plate 43 is formed of a hard plate material such as metal or plastic. As shown in FIG. 3C, the peeling plate 43 of this embodiment has a wedge-shaped tip portion 431. As described above, when the operator operates the handle of the release paper roll 42 to pull the label sheet 10 toward the release paper roll 42, the label sheet 10 is pulled out from the label roll 41. The label sheet 10 pulled out from the label roll 41 is bent at an acute angle at the front end 431 of the peeling plate 43, and is conveyed in a direction substantially opposite to the pulled-out direction (arrow a in the figure). As described above, in the label sheet 10, the adhesive layer 112 of the label 11 and the base material 111 are bonded with a stronger adhesive force than the adhesive layer 112 of the release paper 12 and the adhesive layer 112 of the label 11. ing. Further, the release paper 12 is set so as to have lower bending rigidity as a whole than the label 11.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3C, when the label sheet 10 is bent at an acute angle at the tip 431 of the release plate 43, the label sheet 10 is between the release layer 122 of the release paper 12 and the adhesive layer 112 of the label 11. Peeling occurs and the release paper 12 is separated from the label 11. Further, the label 11 from which the release paper 12 has been separated is conveyed in the pulled-out direction (arrow b in the figure) without being bent at an acute angle at the tip 431 of the release plate 43. Thereafter, the label 11 is pulled out to a position where the center in the longitudinal direction substantially opposes the front surface in the conveying direction of the container 20 (a sticking position described later).

  The guide part 44 is a member for regulating the position of the label sheet 10 in the vertical direction (Z direction). The guide part 44 includes a first guide plate 45 and a second guide plate 46. The first guide plate 45 is a plate material arranged on the lower side (Z1 side) in the vertical direction. The second guide plate 46 is a plate material arranged on the upper side (Z2 side) in the vertical direction. As shown in FIG. 1B, the distance between the first guide plate 45 and the second guide plate 46 (hereinafter also referred to as “d1 dimension”) is substantially the same as the s1 dimension of the release paper 12 of the label sheet 10. Is set. The label sheet 10 pulled out from the label roll 41 is separated from the release paper 12 by the release plate 43 in a state where the position in the vertical direction (Z direction) is regulated in the guide portion 44. Therefore, as will be described later, the label 11 from which the release paper 12 has been separated can be guided to a position facing a preset position (hereinafter also referred to as “pasting position”) on the side surface of the container 20. In the present embodiment, the label 11 is attached to the front F in the transport direction of the container 20 (see FIG. 2B).

(Labeling part 50)
As shown in FIG. 1A, the label attaching unit 50 includes a first label attaching plate (first label attaching member) 51, a second label attaching plate (second label attaching member) 52, . The first label affixing plate 51 and the second label affixing plate 52 (hereinafter also referred to as “label affixing plates 51 and 52”) are formed of a plate-like member having an elastic force such as plastic or rubber, for example. The
The first label attaching plate 51 is disposed in the vicinity of the X1 side (downstream side) of the guide part 44 (label supply part 40). The distance between the guide portion 44 and the first label attaching plate 51 is preferably about several to several tens of millimeters.

  If the distance between the guide portion 44 and the first label affixing plate 51 is too small, the label 11 conveyed from the guide unit 44 is likely to come into contact with the first label affixing plate 51. It becomes easy to do. Moreover, if the space | interval of the guide part 44 and the 1st label sticking board 51 is too wide, the label 11 temporarily attached to the side surface of the container 20 will peel off before reaching the 1st label sticking board 51, or a position may change. There is a possibility of slipping. The interval between the first label affixing plate 51 and the second label affixing plate 52 is set longer than the s5 dimension (described later) of the first label affixing plate 51 described later.

  The dimension in the short direction of the label attaching plates 51 and 52 (hereinafter also referred to as “s4 dimension”) is set to be substantially the same as the s2 dimension of the label 11 as shown in FIG. If the s4 dimension of the label attaching plates 51 and 52 is too short than the s2 dimension of the label 11, the label 1 may be insufficiently attached to the container 20 at the side edge in the short direction. If the s4 dimension of the label attaching plates 51 and 52 is too longer than the s2 dimension of the label 11, when the label attaching plates 51 and 52 bend along the side surface of the container 20, the guide plate 32 (container There is a possibility that the label 11 cannot be sufficiently pressed or returned to the original position by contacting with the guide portion 30).

  Further, the dimension in the longitudinal direction of the label attaching plates 51 and 52 shown in FIG. 1A (hereinafter, also referred to as “s5 dimension”) is when bent along the side surface of the container 20, as will be described later. The side edge in the longitudinal direction of the label 11 is set to a length that can be sufficiently pressed. It is desirable that the s5 dimension of the label attaching plates 51 and 52 is set to be equal to or greater than the distance from the center of the container 20 to the outermost periphery. For example, if the container 20 is cylindrical, the s5 dimension of the label attaching plates 51 and 52 is desirably equal to or larger than the radius of the container 20.

As shown in FIG. 1A, the first label attaching plate 51 has a side edge 511 on the right side (Y1 side) in the left-right direction (Y direction) supported by a support member 53. The side edge portion 512 on the left side (Y2 side) of the first label attaching plate 51 is not supported by a support member or the like and is in a deformable state. The second label attaching plate 52 is supported by the support member 54 at the side edge 521 on the left side (Y2 side) in the left-right direction (Y direction). The side edge portion 522 on the right side (Y1 side) of the second label attaching plate 52 is not supported by a support member or the like and is in a deformable state.
Further, as shown in FIG. 1B, the label attaching plates 51 and 52 are respectively supported so as to be in substantially the same position as the label 11 guided by the guide portion 44 in the vertical direction (Z direction). It is supported by the members 53 and 54.

(Attaching the label 11 to the container 20)
Next, the procedure for sticking the label 11 to the container 20 by the label sticking apparatus 1 of the first embodiment will be described. 4-6 is a figure explaining sticking of the label 11 to the container 20 by the label sticking apparatus 1 of 1st Embodiment. 4 to 6 are plan views corresponding to FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 4, the operator operates the handle (not shown) of the release paper roll 42 to pull out the label sheet 10 from the label roll 41. Here, the label 11 is pulled out until the central portion in the longitudinal direction is located substantially opposite to the front surface of the container 20 in the transport direction. Although not shown, the side edge on the Y2 side of the label 11 is not separated from the release paper 12 when the label 11 is pulled out to the position shown in FIG. Therefore, the operator can pull out the label 11 to a position facing the attaching position of the container 20 without tilting or dropping the label 11.

  In this state, when the operator holds the container 20 by hand and moves it to the position of the label 11 pulled out from the guide portion 44, a part of the adhesive layer 112 formed on the label 11 (approximately the center in the longitudinal direction). Part) is pressed against the front of the container 20 in the conveying direction. Thereby, a part of the adhesive layer 112 formed on the label 11 is temporarily attached to the front surface of the container 20 in the transport direction.

  Subsequently, when the operator moves the container 20 to the X1 side (downstream side), the side edge on the Y2 side of the label 11 is separated from the release paper 12, and the label 11 comes into contact with the first label attaching plate 51. . When the operator further moves the container 20 to the X1 side, as shown in FIG. 5, the first label attaching plate 51 bends along the side surface of the container 20, and the container 20 moves to the X1 side. The adhesive layer 112 of the label 11 is pressed along the side surface of the container 20. By pressing the first label attaching plate 51, an approximately half region of the adhesive layer 112 of the label 11 is attached to the side surface of the container 20. Here, the region of the adhesive layer 112 attached to the container 20 is a first adhesive region E1 shown in FIG.

  Next, when the operator further moves the container 20 to the X1 side, as shown in FIG. 6, the second label attaching plate 52 bends along the side surface of the container 20, and the container 20 moves to the X1 side. Meanwhile, the adhesive layer 112 of the label 11 is pressed along the side surface of the container 20. By pressing the second label attaching plate 52, the remaining approximately half of the adhesive layer 112 of the label 11 is attached to the side surface of the container 20. Here, the region of the adhesive layer 112 attached to the container 20 is a second adhesive region E2 shown in FIG. When the container 20 moves to the position shown in FIG. 6, the first sticking plate 51 is detached from the side surface of the container 20. Then, the 1st sticking board 51 returns to the original state from the bent state.

  As described above, after the label 11 is temporarily attached to the front in the transport direction of the container 20, the container 20 is passed through the first label attaching plate 51 and the second label attaching plate 52 in this order, whereby the label 11 is attached. The entire formed adhesive layer 112 (the first adhesive region E1 and the second adhesive region E2) can be attached to the side surface of the container 20. In particular, when the container 20 is cylindrical, if the s5 dimension of the first label attaching member 51 and the second label attaching member 52 is equal to or larger than the radius of the container 20, the label 11 is pressed from the temporary attachment position, and the container It can be attached along 20 side surfaces. Further, according to this, when the label 11 is adhered to the side surface of the container 20, air can be extracted from between the label 11 and the side surface of the container 20, so that the label 11 can be applied more neatly. it can.

  The container 20 is prepared on the X2 side (upstream side) of the roller conveyor 31. The operator attaches the label 11 to one container 20 and then moves the next container 20 prepared on the X2 side of the roller conveyor 31 to the X1 side (downstream side), thereby continuously connecting the plurality of containers 20. Then, the label 11 can be attached.

  Although not shown, when the operator further moves the container 20 from the position shown in FIG. 6 to the X1 side (downstream side), the second attaching plate 52 is detached from the side surface of the container 20 and bent. Return from the original state to the original state. Thus, after the container 20 passes, the label attaching plates 51 and 52 return to the original state by their own elastic force. According to this, it is not necessary for the operator to return the label attaching plates 51 and 52 to the original state every time the label 11 is attached to one container 20. Therefore, the operator can continuously perform the operation of attaching the label 11 to the container 20.

According to the label attaching apparatus 1 of the first embodiment described above, for example, the following effects can be obtained.
According to the label attaching apparatus 1 of the first embodiment, the operator moves the container 20 from the upstream side to the downstream side of the label supply unit 40, whereby the label is provided on the front surface of the container 20 in the label supply unit 40. 11 can be temporarily attached. In addition, the operator moves the container 20 with the label 11 temporarily attached further downstream so that the entire adhesive layer 112 formed on the label 11 is attached to the side surface of the container 20 at the label attaching unit 50. Can be attached.

  The label attaching apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment can attach the label 11 to the container 20 simply by moving the container 20 linearly. Therefore, the label attaching apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment shortens the time for attaching the label 11 to the container 20 as compared with an apparatus that rotates the container when the label is attached (for example, Patent Document 1). be able to. Further, the label attaching apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment can temporarily attach the label 11 to the front surface of the container 20 without using a roller or the like in the label supply unit 40. Therefore, there is no problem that the label drawn from the roll is wound around the roller as in a device (for example, Patent Document 2) that holds the label with the roller while adsorbing the label. Therefore, according to the label sticking apparatus 1 of the first embodiment, the efficiency of the work of sticking the label 11 to the container 20 can be further improved.

  In the first embodiment, the label attaching unit 50 includes a first label attaching plate 51 for attaching the first adhesive region E1 of the label 11 to the side surface of the container 20 and a second adhesive region E2 of the label 11 in the container. A second label affixing plate 52 affixed to 20 side surfaces. According to this, in the state where the first adhesive region E1 that is about half of the adhesive layer 112 formed on the label 11 is attached to the container 20, the second adhesive that becomes the remaining half of the region. Region E2 is affixed to container 20. Therefore, the operator can more reliably adhere the adhesive layer 112 of the label 11 to the container 20 in a more stable state.

  In 1st Embodiment, the 1st label sticking board 51 and the 2nd label sticking board 52 of the label sticking part 50 are formed with the plate-shaped member which has elastic force. Therefore, the label attaching apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment has a simpler configuration than the apparatus for attaching a label while pressing a roller or the like to the container (for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2). 11 can be pasted.

  In the first embodiment, the guide unit 44 guides the label 11 from which the release paper 12 is separated to a position facing a preset application position on the side surface of the container 20 (a front surface in the transport direction of the container 20). be able to. Therefore, the label attaching apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment can attach the label 11 accurately according to the attachment position of the container 20.

FIG. 7 is a plan view of the label attaching apparatus 1A of the second embodiment. FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the attachment of the label 11A to the container 20 by the label attaching apparatus 1A of the second embodiment.

  The label attaching apparatus 1A according to the second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in the configuration of the label attaching unit 50A. In the label sticking apparatus 1A of the second embodiment, other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment. Therefore, in the description of the second embodiment and each drawing, the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment are assigned to the same members, parts, and the like as those in the first embodiment, and the duplicate description is omitted.

(Label 11A)
The label 11A of the second embodiment has a length corresponding to a quarter of the outer periphery of the container 20 in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, the label 11 </ b> A is pulled out to a position where the side edge on the Y <b> 1 side substantially faces the front of the container 20. Also in the label 11A of the second embodiment, the adhesive layer 112 is formed on the first surface 11a as in the label 11 of the first embodiment (see FIG. 2). In the second embodiment, the adhesive layer 112 of the label 11A has an adhesive region having the same area as the first adhesive region E1 in the label 11 of the first embodiment. The container 20 is the same as that in the first embodiment.

  Although not shown, also in the second embodiment, when the label 11A is pulled out to the position shown in FIG. 7, the end portion on the Y2 side of the label 11A is not separated from the release paper 12. Therefore, the operator can pull out the label 11A to a position facing the attaching position of the container 20 without dropping the label 11A downward in the vertical direction (Z1 side).

(Labeling part 50A)
The label attaching part 50A of the second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the label attaching part 50A is configured by one label attaching plate 55. The label attaching plate 55 of the second embodiment is formed of a plate-like member having elastic force such as plastic and rubber, for example, similarly to the label attaching plates 51 and 52 of the first embodiment.

  The label attaching plate 55 is disposed on the X2 side (upstream side) in the transport direction (X direction) of the container 20. The label attaching plate 55 is disposed in the vicinity of the X1 side (downstream side) of the guide portion 44 (label supply portion 40). The distance between the label attaching plate 55 and the guide portion 44 is preferably about several to several tens of mm, as in the first embodiment. Moreover, the dimension (s4 dimension and s5 dimension) of the label sticking board 55 is the same as the label sticking boards 51 and 52 of 1st Embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the label attaching plate 55 is supported by the support member 56 on the left side (Y2 side) side edge portion 551 in the left-right direction (Y direction). The side edge portion 552 on the right side (Y1 side) of the label attaching plate 55 is not supported by a support member or the like and is in a deformable state. Although not shown, the label attaching plate 55 is substantially the same as the label 11A guided by the guide portion 44 in the vertical direction (Z direction), similarly to the label attaching plates 51 and 52 of the first embodiment. The support member 56 supports the same position.

(Attaching the label 11 to the container 20)
First, as shown in FIG. 7, the operator operates the handle (not shown) of the release paper roll 42 to pull out the label 11 </ b> A from the label roll 41. As described above, in the second embodiment, the label 11A is pulled out until the side edge on the Y1 side is located substantially opposite to the front surface of the container 20 in the transport direction.

  In this state, when the operator holds the container 20 by hand and moves it to the position of the label 11A pulled out from the guide portion 44, a part of the adhesive layer 112 formed on the label 11A (side edge in the longitudinal direction) Part) is pressed against the front of the container 20 in the conveying direction. Thereby, a part of the adhesive layer 112 formed on the label 11 </ b> A is temporarily attached to the front surface of the container 20 in the conveyance direction. Subsequently, when the operator moves the container 20 to the X1 side (downstream side), the side edge on the Y2 side of the label 11A is separated from the release paper 12, and the label 11A comes into contact with the label attaching plate 55. When the operator further moves the container 20 to the X1 side, as shown in FIG. 8, the label attaching plate 55 bends along the side surface of the container 20, and the label is displayed while the container 20 moves to the X1 side. The adhesive layer 112 of 11A is pressed along the side surface of the container 20. The entire adhesive layer 112 of the label 11 </ b> A can be attached to the side surface of the container 20 by pressing the label attaching plate 55.

Although not shown, when the operator further moves the container 20 from the position shown in FIG. 8 to the X1 side (downstream side), the label attaching plate 55 is detached from the side surface of the container 20 and bent. Return from the state to the original state. Thus, since the label attaching plate 55 returns to the original state by its own elastic force after the container 20 passes, the operator continuously performs the operation of attaching the label 11A to the container 20. Can do.
When the length of the label 11A in the longitudinal direction is about 1/4 of the outer circumference of the container 20 as in the second embodiment described above, the label 11A is put into the container 20 by one label attaching plate 55. Can be pasted.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to each embodiment mentioned above, Various deformation | transformation and a change are possible like the deformation | transformation form mentioned later, These are also this book. It is within the technical scope of the invention.

Note that each of the above-described embodiments and modifications described later can be used in appropriate combination, but detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[Deformation]
In the said embodiment, although the operator demonstrated the example which moves the container 20 along the roller conveyor 31, it is not limited to this. A flat surface (for example, a work table) capable of moving the container 20 may be prepared, and the container 20 may be moved linearly on the flat surface. Moreover, although embodiment demonstrated the example which an operator moves the container 20 by human power, it is not limited to this. The container 20 may be moved by a belt conveyor. In that case, it is preferable to provide a mechanism for fixing the container 20 on the belt conveyor.

  In the said embodiment, although the container 20 which has the cylindrical container main body 21 was demonstrated as an example as a to-be-adhered member, it is not limited to this. As long as the to-be-adhered member is a shape that can be pressed while the deflected label attaching plate (51, 52, 55) follows the side surface, it may have a quadrangular prism shape, for example.

  In 1st Embodiment, although the length of the longitudinal direction of the label 11 was demonstrated to the half circumference of the outer periphery of the container main body 21, the example was not limited to this. When the label attaching plates 51 and 52 are formed of a member having higher elasticity, and the followability to the side surface of the container 20 is improved, the length of the label 11 in the longitudinal direction is the outer circumference of the container body 21. The label 11 can be affixed to the side surface of the container 20 even if it is equal to or more than half a circle.

  In the embodiment, the example in which the label attaching plates (51, 52, 55) are arranged so as to be orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the roller conveyor 31 has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. You may arrange | position a label sticking board (51, 52, 55) so that the longitudinal direction of the roller conveyor 31 may cross | intersect at an angle of about 80-100 degrees.
