Device and method for labeling individual packages

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for labeling individual packages (1) with a feed mechanism (2) for transporting the corresponding package (1) in a transport direction (X), with an application mechanism (3) for applying Administered label (4) onto said corresponding package (1), wherein said application mechanism (3) has an impression handle (5) and an impression base ( The swinging die (7) of 6) is used to move the administered label (4) from the receiving position to the dispensing position, in which the label (4) is moved by the die base (6) receiving, in the delivery position, the label (4) can be applied from the impression base (6) to the corresponding package (1), wherein the application mechanism (3) additionally has a guide element (8) and holder (9), the impression handle (5) is movably supported at the guide element, the impression handle (5) is held by the holder in the direction of gravity (Y ), and wherein the die handle ( 5 ) is mounted so as to be pivotable about a horizontal pivot axis ( X1 ) extending perpendicularly to the direction of gravity (Y). In order to simplify the labeling of the packaging ( 1 ), the invention provides that the guide element ( 8 ) carries at least one of the structural parts of the holder ( 9 ) and is pivotable about the pivot axis ( X1 ). Furthermore, the invention relates to a corresponding tagging method.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for labeling individual packages, [0002] with feed mechanism for transporting the corresponding packaging in the transport direction, [0003] having an application mechanism for applying the given label to said corresponding package, [0004] Wherein, the applying mechanism has a rocking die having a die handle and a die base connected to the die handle for moving the administered label from a receiving position to a dispensing position, in which the receiving position wherein said label is received by said impression base, in said given position said label is applyable to said corresponding package from said impression base, [0005] In this case, the application device also has a guide element on which the impression handle is movably mounted and a holder, by which the die handle is held in the direction of gravity, and [0006] In this case, the die handle is mounted so as to be pivotable about a horizontal pivo...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0013] The above-described device and the above-described method are relatively complex, in particular in that both the guide tube with its holder and the impression handle supported within the guide tube with the impression base must each be axially movable. Furthermore, the guide tube must be pivotably mounted about a pivot axis extending outside the guide element and within the axial extension (projection)

Through many necessary individual movements (axial movement of the guide tube with its holder and impression handle and impression base relative to the guide element, axial movement of the impression handle with the impression base relative to the guide tube, guide tube together with the swivel movement of the impression handle, impression base and guide element), not only increases the complexity of the device and the method, but also makes the labeling process relatively time-consuming
