Definitions

  • a lever on said driving shaft. and a cam-controlled driven shaft which is displaceable in axial direction and which carries the pickup member.
  • said means further including an intermediate shaft carrying a pinion. a sun gear disposed concentrically about the driving shaft and meshing with the pinion. a cylindrical cam also disposed concentrically about the driving shaft. and a non-uniform drive mounted on the intermediate shaft. the pick-up mem her being driven from the driving shaft through the intermediate shaft and the driven shaft.
  • the invention relates to an apparatus for applying gummed labels to continuously advancing bottles or other objects, in which a rotating or oscillating, glue bearing pickup member is successively brought into contact, along an endless path, with a continuously revolving applicator cylinder, a stationary stack of labels, and a continuously revolving gripper or vacuum cylinder, and the pickup member not only follows the configuration of the glue cylinder, label stack and gripper cylinder but also assumes their peripheral speeds.
  • Such continuously advancing means for the pickup member comprises a non-uniform drive for the pickup member in turn comprising a driving shaft, a lever on said driving shaft, and a cam-controlled driven shaft which is displaceable in axial direction and which carries the pickup member, said means further including an intermediate shaft carrying a pinion, a sun gear disposed concentrically about the driving shaft and meshing with the pinion, a cylindrical cam also disposed concentrically about the driving shaft and a non-uniform drive mounted on the intermediate shaft, the pickup member being driven from the driving shaft through the intermediate shaft and the driven shaft.
  • the non-uniform drive on the intermediate shaft comprises a gear which is displaceable along the axis of the intermediate shaft under the control ofa cam so as to perform a rotary motion.
  • the cam control of the gear comprises a steep-spiral groove in said gear cooperating with a steep-spiral spindle portion on the intermediate shaft.
  • a cam follower on the gear of the intermediate shaft said follower fol lowing the cylindrical cam on the driving shaft and thereby effecting axial displacement of the gear on the intermediate shaft.
  • FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic top plan view of the labeling apparatus
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the labeling apparatus.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown a pickup member 1 moving along a stationary, flat, curved track 2 within an area bounded by a glue cylinder 3, a label magazine 4 and a gripper cylinder 5, the pickup member 1, with its active surface which is the glue palette 6, being adapted by means of the transmission described hereinbelow to the various shapes and the various speeds of the above-named labeling members 3, 4 and 5.
  • a driving shaft 7 through its affixed lever 8 drives a pin 9 which with pinion 10 and shaft ll forms an eccentric.
  • a larger gear 12 is disposed on a stationary tube 13, the eccentrically mounted pinion l0 meshing in a non-uniform manner with the larger gear 12 and imparting to a double-arm lever 14, which is mounted for rotation on tube l3, not only the advancing movement of the pickup member 1 but also a slightly oscillating relative movement whose importance will be explained further below.
  • the intermediate section of shaft 17 carries a portion of a non-uniform drive, generally indicated at 21, which cooperates with a cylindrical cam 22 disposed concentrically about drive shaft 7 and fixed on the tube 13.
  • the pinion 20 which meshes with a stationary sun gear 23, transmits the rotational movement by means of gear 24 to gear, 25 which is mounted on a driven shaft 26.
  • This driven shaft 26, which is mounted in two arms 27 and 28, at its upper end carries the pickup member I, which is of the quick-mounting type and thus is easily replaceable.
  • the pinion 20 rolls on the sun gear 23 and sets the intermediate shaft 17 into rotation.
  • a cam follower 29 runs in the cylindrical cam 22 and, pursuant to its configuration, longitudinally shifts a guding ring 30 and hence gear 24 of the non-uniform drive 21 on the intermediate shaft 17. Since this portion of the intermediate shaft 17 is constructed as a steep-sprial spindle 31, the gear 24 performs a relative rotation that will be more or less strong depending on the degree of axial displacement, this relative rotation being transmitted through gear 25 to the pickup member 1.
  • the glue palette speed is matched to the peripheral speed of the glue roll 3, which is in contact with the glue segment 6, and of the label magazine 4, and of gripper cylinder 5.
  • the active surface of the pickup member I that is the glue palette 6 must move along and contact the peculiar configuration of the labeling members 3, 4 and 5 and must be adapted to their speed, this being accomplished by means of a cam follower 32 mounted at the free end of arm 27 and guided in the curved track 2.
  • driving shaft 7 rotates on its own axis.
  • Lever 8 is keyed to shaft 7 and through double-arm lever 14 causes intermediate shaft 17 to move about the axis of shaft 7, proper guiding being ensured by arm l5 and meshing of planetary pinion gear 20 with sun gear 23.
  • arms 27 and 28 connect intermediate shaft 17 with driven shaft 26
  • movement of shaft 17 about the axis of shaft 7 causes shaft 26 also to move bout the axis of shaft 7, engagement of cam follower 32 in cam track 2 controlling the path of shaft 26 and of pickup member 1 carried thereon.
  • an apparatus for the application of gummed labels to continuously advancing bottles or other objects comprising a rotating or oscillating glue-bearing pickup member, a continuously revolving glue applicator cylinder, a stationary stack of labels, and a continuously revolving gripper or vacuum cylinder
  • said improvement which comprises means for continuously advancing said pickup member along an endless path whereby it follows the configuration of and successively contacts the glue cylinder, the label stack and the gripper cylinder while assuming their peripheral speeds within the area of contact
  • said means including a drive for the pickup member comprising a driving shaft, an intermediate shaft and a driven shaft, said driven shaft carrying the pickup member, a first arm linking the driving shaft and the intermediate shaft, a second arm linking the intermediate shaft and the driven shaft, a first cam about said driving shaft, a stationary gun gear about said driving shaft, a first cam follower carried on said intermediate shaft, a planetary gear on said intermediate shaft rotated therewith and meshing with said sun gear, whereby rotation of said driving shaft through said first arm causes said intermediate shaft to rotate
