Definitions

  • the invention relates generally to labelling machines and particularly relates to labelling machines for use with linerless web materials.
  • the web material may include no adhesive, or may include either an active adhesive on one side together with a release liner, or a pressure sensitive or heat activatable adhesive on one side, the later conventionally being referred to as a linerless web material.
  • the adhesive must be active or activated prior to application of the labels to items.
  • Label cutting machines that apply cut labels to items, must present each cut label to a moving item at a desired speed and frequency.
  • the cut labels will be required to be spaced apart a significant distance for application to most items. This can be achieved in many ways.
  • the labels could be cut from the web the same distance apart as they will need to be spaced when applied to the items. This, however, is wasteful of web material.
  • the movement of the web could be intermittent such that the labels could be cut close to one another yet the time required to advance the web could be intermittently varied to be as slow or fast as necessary. Unfortunately, this is inefficient and introduces an increased chance of a label cut being misaligned.
  • labels once cut close together, could be immediately transferred to a more rapidly moving conveyance that causes the labels to be further spaced from one another.
  • Conventional techniques for achieving this are limited in that the handling of cut labels immediately after they are cut from the web is difficult with conventional systems. There is a significant chance of, among other things, inconsistent spacing of the labels as they are transferred to the more rapidly moving conveyance in such systems, particularly if the difference in speeds between the two conveyances is great.
  • the invention provides for a transfer cylinder for use in a labelling machine for transporting and separating cut labels from a base material to items.
  • the cylinder includes a rotatable drum including a plurality of openings along the outer cylindrical surface of the drum.
  • the drum is adapted to rotate between a first position where a label is positioned to contact the drum from a first conveyance, and a second position where the label is positioned to contact a second conveyance.
  • the transfer cylinder provides that the label may be attracted to the drum at the first position.
  • the cylinder also provides that contact between the label and the drum may be maintained as the drum rotates between the first and second positions.
  • the cylinder provides that the label may be urged from the drum at the second position.
  • Transfer cylinders of the invention permit labels to be consistently transferred between rotating cylinders of different speeds, and permit labels having active adhesives thereon to be transferred to items while uniformly controlling the removal of the scrap material.

  • the free loop chamber may include a fan located at the opposite end of the chamber and positioned to move air away from the web, thereby drawing the web into a loop formation.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un cylindre de transfert destiné à être utilisé dans une machine à étiqueter permettant de transférer des étiquettes découpées à partir d'une bande sans revêtement qui comprend un adhésif actif (actif ou activé en permanence) placé sur la bande, tout en séparant les étiquettes d'une matière de base. Le cylindre comprend un tambour rotatif qui comporte une pluralité d'ouvertures le long de la surface cylindrique externe du tambour. Le tambour est apte à pivoter entre un premier emplacement dans lequel l'étiquette est en contact avec le tambour à partir d'un premier ensemble transporté, et un second emplacement dans lequel l'étiquette est placée de manière à entrer en contact avec un second ensemble transporté. Le cylindre de transfert permet d'attirer l'étiquette vers le tambour au premier emplacement. Le cylindre permet également que le contact entre l'étiquette et le tambour soit maintenu pendant que le tambour tourne entre les premier et second emplacements. Finalement le cylindre permet de dégager l'étiquette du tambour à un second emplacement afin que l'étiquette soit par la suite détachée et appliquée sur des articles.
