Definitions

• the present invention relates to an apparatus for applying so-called self-adhesive labels.
• Such Labels are often mounted on a carrier of some specially treated paper material, so that the labels are retained thereon without being permanently attached thereto.
• apparatus especially designed for the purpose.
• the problem with the application of such labels is that the label carrier is preferably separated from the label in conjunction with, or immediately prior to, application..
• the proposed means for car ⁇ rying out this work operation are relatively complicated.
• the label must be retained in a special position, and the carrier material must be
• the present invention solves the above-mentioned problems in an ex- 20.
• an apparatus which in principle only consists of a bar, Laterally displaceable in relation to its length, running parallel to, and closely adjacent the surfaces to be labelled.
• the carrier material of the labels is removed from an end portion of said labels, suitably by hand, the end portions of 25 the labels thus liberated being pressed against the surfaces of the objects which are to be labelled.
• Said bar is adapted for moving down over the portion or portions of the. labels which have adhered to the
• the carrier will be succe sively thrust out over the still unlabeLled portions of said object surfaces, when the bar is displaced and the carrier comes away from t labels, and on continued displacement of the bar, the carrier materia at the end portions of the labels will finally come entirely away fro the labels and can be taken away while the last portions of the label are pressed down against said object surfaces, labelling thus being completed.
• no complicated means are needed in the ap paratus in accordance with the invention for taking away the carrier material for the- labels since said material relinquishes the labels automatically by means of said progressive folding of the labels duri application.
• Figure 1 depicts an apparatus seen in perspective and in the starting position for a work operation.
• Figure 2 depicts a set of labels in a first application step for appl ing them to objects retained by the apparatus.
• Figure 3 depicts a phase.in the application operation.
• Figure 4 depicts a further phase of the application operation.
• Figure 5 is a detail view of the apparatus seen from one side during an application phase.
• the apparatus depicted consists of a frame 1, from the lower position of which two arms 2 project and carry between them an angle rail 3 constituting support for a plurality of elongate objects 4, these be ⁇ ing in the form of so-called "board fronts" (i- e the fronts of circuit boards ) in the present case, the upper part of said boards being sup- ported by a sloping plate 5 on the upper side of the frame 1.
• Guides 6, 7 are arranged on either side of the frame, and parallel to the up ⁇ wardly facing front surfaces of the objects 4.
• Two slides 8 are glid- ably mounted on said guides ⁇ , 7 and are joined together by means of a bar 9, extending, transversely over the area for said board front surfaces.
• the forward edge 10 of the bar is adapted for passing close ⁇ ly above the surfaces of the objects 4 when the slides 8 are displaced.
• the slides are also united by means of a shaft 11, the free ends of which carry two handles 12.
• the shaft 11 is fixed in the respective slide by means of screws 13.
• Each slide 8 is suitably arranged for being displaced against friction, provided by friction means 14, along the guides 6, 7, see Figure 5.
• the apparatus functions.in the following manner.
• a row of Labels 15 carried on a specially prepared sheet of paper 16 is inserted.
• a portion of the sheet 16, or a special part of such a sheet is separated, pre ⁇ ferably manually, so that the end portions 17 of the labels will be exposed.
• Said end portions are then pressed against the objects 4, which are to be Labelled, so that the labels adhere to the objects.
• the handles 12 are then gripped, and the slides with the bar 9 are taken down over the objects sufficiently for said front edge to come over the portions 17 adhering to the objects.
• the.labels are folded or bent sharply over the front edge of the bar along a line 18, i.
• the apparatus in accordance with the present inventi solves a problem which was technically difficult, in an extremely simple way, i. e. separating carrier material and labels in a simple mo in conjunction with the application of the latter.
• the embodiment illustrated relates to the application of labels onto elongate objects,. so-called board fronts, i.e. plastic slips which are specially intended for applying to circuit boards, and apparatus for
