Abstract

L'invention porte sur un dispositif et un procédé d'application automatique d'étiquette à l'aide d'un long ruban d'étiquettes dans lequel une certaine quantité d'étiquettes unitaires sont reliées d'une manière continue en se chevauchant partiellement les unes les autres, et aptes à appliquer précisément et automatiquement un grand nombre d'étiquettes par unité de temps même si un objet sur lequel l'étiquette doit être collée est fait d'un matériau qui est glissant par rapport à un moyen adhésif. Un ruban d'étiquettes (8) est temporairement fixé sur une première courroie (10) qui se déplace par intermittence. Au niveau de la position d'un premier arbre de renversement (16) qui renverse la première courroie (10), les étiquettes temporairement fixées (1) sont retirées une par une du ruban d'étiquettes (8). Les étiquettes (1) retirées du ruban d'étiquettes (8) sont séquentiellement mises en contact avec une seconde courroie (22) qui se déplace par rotation, et les étiquettes (1) sont temporairement fixées à la seconde courroie (22) à un certain intervalle. Au niveau de la position d'un second arbre de renversement (28) qui renverse la seconde courroie (22), les étiquettes temporairement fixées à la seconde courroie (22) sont retirées de la seconde courroie. La direction de déplacement des étiquettes (1) retirées de la seconde courroie (22) et la direction de déplacement des objets sur lesquels les étiquettes doivent être collées sont réglées à la même direction, et les étiquettes (1) sont destinées à être collées sur les objets (36).
