Definitions

  • This invention relates to a turret type of labeling machine.
  • Each container is deposited on the lower of a pair of chucks; the chucks are brought closer together to clamp the container in place and one of the chucks is driven (the other being free to rotate); the container so clamped between a pair of chucks and in vertical position is rotated about the main axis of the turret (referred to as orbital motion) and during its travel is brought into tangent contact with a label on a vacuum drum which is adhered to the container by an adhesive.
  • the driven chuck is caused to rotate thereby spinning the container to wrap the label about it.
  • FIG. 1 the turret is indicated by the reference numeral 10 and a vacuum drum is indicated by the reference numeral 11. Two labels 12A and 12B are shown on the vacuum drum.
  • labels are supplied continuously from a roll (not shown) and are cut from a continuous length of label stock by suitable label feed cutting mechanisms such as that shown in U.S. Patents Nos. 4,500,386; 4,188,843 and 4,108,711; that glue or solvent is applied to each label at its leading and trailing ends; that vacuum is applied to hold each label on the cylindrical surface of the drum and that such vacuum is released to release each label to a container, suitable mechanisms being well known in the art. It will also be understood that pre-cut labels may be used and extracted one by one from a stack rather than employing a continuous roll of labels.
  • the turret 10 rotates with a vertical shaft 13 having spokes 17 extending radially outwardly therefrom and which hold chucks 15 each of which is free to spin about the axis of its shaft 16.
  • the vacuum drum 11 rotates clockwise as indicated by the arrow, the turret 10 rotates clockwise as indicated by the arrow and each chuck 15 is caused to spin counterclockwise.
  • clockwise and counterclockwise refer to a view from above.
  • a container 25 is there shown resting on a lower chuck 26 which is in alignment with one of the upper chucks 15.
  • the chuck 26 is mounted at the end of a lower spoke 27 radiating from and fixed to the main shaft 13, such chuck having a shaft 28 rotatable in the spoke 27 and having a segment 29 of larger diameter and a segment 30 of smaller diameter.
  • a belt or pad 31 is shown which is also shown in dotted lines in Figures 1 and 2.
  • the belt 31 is sufficiently flexible that it can be stretched about the shaft segments 29 or 30 but it is stiff enough and is of a texture such that it will spin the shafts 28.
  • the ends of the belt 31 may be secured by suitable fasteners (not shown) to the frame of the machine so that it can be loosened, shifted from one shaft segment to the other and then tightened.
  • a pad may be used such as shown at 87 in Figure 2 of U.S. Patent No. 4,108,709 but on the outside of the wheel 85, such pad being concave toward the wheel, and such a drive may drive either the upper chucks 15 (see Figure 1) or the lower chucks 26 (see Figure 3).
  • a suitable container infeed such as a star wheel and a suitable container outfeed such as another star wheel may be employed to supply unlabeled containers to the turret and to remove labeled containers therefrom.
  • Means such as shown in the '709 Patent may be employed for this purpose.
