Embodiment Construction

[0027] as by figure 1 and 2 As can be seen, a preferred embodiment of the labeling device 1 according to the invention for placing an elastic label sleeve 2 on a container 3 (like for example a plastic bottle) comprises a labeling wheel 4 on which a uniform Labeling stations 5 are arranged in a distributed manner. These labeling stations include respectively a stretching unit 6 for receiving and stretching the label sleeve 2, a positioning unit 7 for receiving the container 3 to be labeled and lifting the container 3 to be labeled into the stretching unit 6, and A mouth-side section for gripping the container 3 and a removal unit 8 for pulling the container 3 out of the expansion unit 6 .

[0028] In addition, in figure 1 A control unit 9 , a stationary label dispenser 10 , an infeed starwheel 11 for conveying the containers 3 to be labeled, and an output starwheel 12 for transporting the labeled containers 3 away are shown in FIG. exist figure 1 The positioning unit 7 co...

Abstract

The device (1) has spreading units (6) comprising spreading segments that are moved from an inner position for retaining elastic label cases (2) to an outer position for spreading the cases for labeling containers (3) with the cases. A control device (9) loads the segments with different spreading movements simultaneously or in a temporally overlapped manner. The segments are supported around a central recess, and the control device has cam disks that are arranged at the spreading units. Individually controllable adjusting drives i.e. electric motors, are provided for the segments. An independent claim is also included for a method for labeling containers with elastic label cases.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device and a method for applying, in particular elastic, label sleeves to containers. Background technique [0002] Containers (for example beverage bottles) can first be labeled by drawing an elastic film over the sides of the container. For this purpose, WO 2008 / 076718 describes a carousel-shaped device with a labeling station for applying highly elastic label sleeves, in which a plurality of substantially parallel to each other and circumferentially surrounding a central The expansion of the group of recesses means that the label sleeve is stretched to such an extent that the container to be labeled can be inserted into the label sleeve from below. After the spreading fingers have been retracted, the container can be pulled out of the spreading fingers together with the applied label from above by the gripping device. The transfer of the label from the spreader finger to the container is facilitated by the fact that a co...
