When the container 1 is continuously supplied by the feed transfer device 21, the container 1 to which the label is attached is formed in the receiving groove formed in the pivoting wheel 31 which is rotated adjacent to the feed transfer device 21. In 31a). Here, the container 1 is a rotational direction ("D") of the pivoting wheel 31 by the frictional force generated by the guide 23 provided with the pivoting wheel 31 and the movement path of the container 1 in between. Rotate in the opposite direction. The guide may further include a friction member (not shown) attached to the main body (not shown) and the surface of the pivot wheel side of the main body (not shown) to increase the friction force.

As a result, the handle of the uneven part 11 provided in the container 1 also rotates in the same direction, and eventually comes into contact with the fixing member 85 of the stop 8 provided in the pivoting wheel 31, thereby further rotating. You will not.

Here, in detail the operation of the stop 8, the bracket wheel 81 of the stop 9, before the container 1 is partly accommodated in the receiving groove (31a) in contact with the pivot wheel (31). ), The contact member 84 coupled thereto is rotated in the radial direction of the bracket wheel 81 by the contact motion with the "B" region of the cam 82 shape surface, and is thus pushed into contact with the contact member 84. The holding member 85 coupled to the hinge shaft 83 to maintain the angle is rotated by a predetermined angle toward the center of the bracket wheel 81. As a result, when the container is accommodated in the receiving portion of the pivoting wheel 81, it is possible to prevent the interference between the handle and the fixing member 85, which is the uneven portion 11 provided in the container (1).

Subsequently, as the pivoting wheel 31 rotates, the bracket wheel 81 linked thereto also rotates at the same angular speed, but the cam 82 is fixed at a predetermined position by the fixing bracket 86, so that the bracket wheel As the 81 rotates, the contact member 84 rotates while contacting the cam 82 shape surface, and when the contact member 84 comes into contact with the "A" area of the cam, the center axis of the bracket wheel 81 is again. 80, the fixing member 85 rotates in the radial direction of the bracket wheel 81. At this time, the fixing member 85 abuts against the uneven portion 1 provided in the container, and prevents the container 1 from rotating in the opposite direction to the rotation direction ("D") of the pivot wheel 31. You can do it.

Thus, the container 1, which is moved to the labeling drum 7 by the pivoting wheel 31, is always in contact with the labeling drum 7 at the same point, and the attachment of the label is started at a specific position. Then, when one end of the label is first attached to the surface of the container 1, the container is rotated by the rotational force of the labeling drum 7 and the pressure of the pressurizing part 5, and the container is rotated in the direction of rotation of the labeling drum 7 (“C”). While rotating in the opposite direction, the label is attached surrounding the surface of the container 1. At the same time, the container 1 proceeds along the movement path, and is then moved to the discharge transfer device 22 by the discharge wheel 4 to discharge the container with the label.
