LABEL-FEED DEVIGE.
Specification 01 Letters Patent.
fl atented Oct. 18, 12921.
Application filed August 4, 1920. Serial No. 161,155.
ously located so that the contact of the ad hesive on the can with the'label will remove a single label from the feed device.
A further object is to provide a label feed device which is especially adapted for use in connection with my improved can labeling machine which forms the subgect matter of a separate application executed on evendate herewith.
' With these and other-objects in view the invention consists in certain novel features of construction, and combinations and arrangements of parts as will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a view mainly in elevation but partly in section illustrating my ll11- proved label feed device.
Fig. 2 is a view in longitudinal section through the center of the feed receptacle taken at right angles to Fig. 1, showing parts in elevation.
Fig. 3 is a view in horizontal section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.
Fig. l is a bottom or lower end view of the label receptacle.
1 represents an angle bracket which constitutes the support for my improved device. A circular bracket 2 is fixed to angle bracket 1 and in this circular bracket 2 a cylindrical label receptacle 3 is securely clamped by means of jam screws 4 positioned in the bracket 2 and jammed against the receptacle 3.
The receptacle 3 is open at both ends and at its upper end is provided with a finger receiving entrance slot 5 to facilitate the manipulation of labels 6 while the latter are being positioned in the receptacle.
A pair of blocks 7 are secured to opposite sides of the lower portion of receptacle 3 sharp prongs 8 which engage under the edges of the lowermost label and prevent accidental escape or". the labels, but permit a slight bowing of the central portion of the lowermost label for convenience of removal as will more fully hereinafter appear.
.1 31 standard 9 is supported on the angle bracket 1 and is provided at its lower end with a foot 10 which is secured by means of a bolt 11 and nut 12 to the angle bracket, said bolt positioned through a slot 13 in the angle bracket to permit of the desired lateral adjustment of the standard 9. The standard 9 has a horizontal arm 14 at its upper end to which a block 15 is secured by bolts or screws 16 and this block 15 has a guide opening 17 for the accommodation of a vertically mov able rod 18.
A follower disk 19 is located on top of the pile of labels 6 and the rod 18, above referred to, rests upon thecenter of the disk 19 and is held against upward movement by a link 20. This link has an opening 21 therein receiving a vertical post 22 secured to the block 15 and serving as a guide for the movement of the link. The link 20 at its outer or free end engages the upper end of the rod 18 and thus while the link will move downwardly with the rod as the labels are removed from the lower portion of the receptacle 3, the link will serve to prevent upward movement of the rod and the pile of labels by reason of the fact that the opening 21 in the link will bind against the post 22 when upward pressure is applied to the free end of the link.
23 represents a can which is moved upwardly into contact with the lowermost label to receive the label thereon, and as described in my application above referred to, such a can is previously supplied with a daub of paste so that when it moves into contact with the lowermost label, the paste will cause the lowermost label to adhere to the can, and when the can moves downwardly, it will carrywith it the label.
The prongs 8 will not interfere materially with the removal of a label on a paste supe plied can but contacts therewith, and this is especially true because of the fact that the weight of the follower 19 and rod 18 will have a tendency to cause the lower label or labels to bow slightly downwardly so that they will be in position for contact with the can.
The operation is as follows: The cans are first supplied on one end with paste and then moved into contact with the lowermost label 6 in the receptacle 3 and when lowered, the adhesive will cause the lowermost label to be attached to the can. The follower 19 and rod 18 will insure a proper positioning of the column of labels so that the lowermost label will always be in position to be engaged by a can and any tendency against upward pressure by the column of labels is overcome by the fact that the link 20 holds he rod 18 against upward movement yet permits the free downward movement as the labels are dispensed.
Various slight changes might be made in the general form and arrangement of parts describcdwithout departing from the in ventiomand hence I do not limit myself to the precise details set forth, but consider myself at liberty to make such changes and alterations as fairly fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims;
I claim:
1. A label feed device, comprising an open ended receptacle, spurs at the lower end of the receptacle projecting inwardly thereof and adapted to prevent accidental falling of a label out of the receptacle a rod exerting downward pressure on the labels, a post, and a llnk Shdably mounted on the post and at its free end engaging the upper end of the rod preventing upward movement of the rod. 7
2. A label feed device, comprising an open ended receptacle, inwardly projecting spurs at the lower end of the receptacle, a disk follower in the receptacle adapted to rest upon a column of labels when the latter are in the receptacle between the follower and the spurs, a standard, a post, a guide, a rod mounted in the guide and at its lower end supported upon the follower, and a link having an opening therein receiving the post and at its free end engaging the upper end of the rod, said opening in the link of such size as to cause the walls of the opening to bind against the post when upward pressure is had against the free end of the link.
3, A label feed device, comprising a support, a bracket on the support, a cylindrical label receptacle secured in the bracket, blocks secured to th e lower portion of the receptacle and having inwardly projecting spurs at their lower-ends, astanda-rd on the support, a block secured to the standard and having a guide opening therein, a follower in the receptacle, a rod mounted in the guide opening and resting upon the follower, an upwardly projecting post secured to the bracket, and a link slidably mounted on the post and at its free end engaging the upper end of the rod. 7 JAMES QUINCY LEAVITT.
