High Speed Decoration
US Patent:
4315795, Feb 16, 1982
Filed:
Aug 7, 1980
Appl. No.:
6/176152
Inventors:
Robert M. Jodrey - Westboro MA
Kenneth Young - Groton MA
Kenneth Young - Groton MA
Assignee:
Dennison Manufacturing Company - Framingham MA
International Classification:
B44C 3100, B65D 500, B32B 3100
US Classification:
156542
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for the decoration of bottles and the like at high speeds. Bottles are delivered by an input conveyor to a star wheel, which deposits them sequentially into a continuously rotating turret. The turret carries the bottles past a labelling site, where a label carrier strip is pressed into contact with a bottle surface and a label thereby transferred. The shape of the bottle is maintained during labelling by means of inflation of the bottles through an inserted nozzle. The raising and lowering of the inflating nozzle and the flow of inflating air is controlled by special valving apparatus. The motion of the label carrier strip past the labelling site is regulated by the use of rolls on a shuttle slide, which in turn is reciprocated by a second slide driven by a conjugate cam. This results in an increase of the local velocity of the carrier strip during most of the cycle, and a slowing of the strip during the balance. After labelling, the inflating nozzle is retracted from the bottle and the bottle is removed by a second star wheel for further processing.
