DEVICE FOR APPLICATION OF LABELS ON BOTTLES Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering; automation of processes. SUBSTANCE: device for application of excise labels to bottles has housing, transportation mechanisms with drives, label (sheet blank) storage magazine, mechanism for processing preparation and/or relative positioning of labels and bottles and mechanism for fixing labels on bottles. Bottle transportation mechanism is made in form of conveyor with spreader and/or indexing sprocket to form intervals L1 between axes of symmetry of non-spread bottles chosen relative to distance L2 between axes of symmetry of spread bottles within the limits 2<=(L₁+L₂)/L₁<=10. Position of axes of symmetry of bottles to reference point of labels is preset by distances whose actual values L3 and maximum tolerable value L4 are chosen within the limits 1<=(L₃+L₄)/L₄<=2.. Location of reference points relative to planes square to axes of symmetry of bottles and passing through points of bottles located at maximum distance from their geometric centers is preset by distances whose actual values L5 are chosen relative to maximum tolerable L6 within the limits . Design peculiarities of glue application mechanism are defined by necessity of application of glue to labels in amounts, minimum V1 and maximum V2, chosen within the limits 1,05<=(V₁+V₂)/V₂<=2 and pressure and upsetting mechanisms of labels are made to provide ratio of area S1 of non-deformable part of label and total area S2 of entire label within the limits 1<=(S₁+S₂)/S₂<=2. EFFECT: enlarged operating capabilities. 3 dwg, 1 tbl
