Labeler with sealing label press-on device
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to a labeler for applying labels to packages. The labeler can include a transport unit for transporting the packages, a label dispenser for applying a sealing label to a web-shaped rim of each of the packages, and a press-on device having a circularly movable pusher plate. The present invention also relates to a method of operating such a labeler, where the press-on device is provided for folding the sealing label around the web-shaped rim laterally to each package and for pressing the label onto the package.
1. A labeler comprising:
a transport unit for transporting packages;
a label dispenser for applying a sealing label to a web-shaped rim of each package; and
a press-on device having a circularly movable pusher plate;
wherein the circular movement of the pusher plate is produced by two synchronously driven disks having the pusher plate attached thereto by a holder.
2. The labeler according to claim 1 further comprising a folding bar for folding a free end of the sealing label around the web-shaped rim of each package after the sealing label has been attached to the web-shaped rim the package.
3. The labeler according to claim 2 , wherein the folding bar has a bevel.
4. The labeler according to claim 2 , wherein the folding bar is positioned on the press-on device in a stationary manner.
5. The labeler according to claim 1 , wherein the pusher plate is pivotable about a pivot axle of the holder.
6. The labeler according to claim 1 , wherein the pusher plate is spring-loaded by at least one compression spring.
7. The labeler according to claim 1 further comprising a downholder for positioning the packages.
8. The labeler according to claim 1 , wherein the press-on device is positioned laterally with respect to the transport unit.
9. The labeler according to claim 1 , wherein the pusher plate is inclined relative to a transport plane of the transport unit by an angle.
10. A labeler comprising:
a transport unit for transporting packages in a transport direction;
a label dispenser for applying a sealing label to a web-shaped rim of the package;
a press-on device, wherein the press on device has a pusher plate disposed for a circular movement during operation of the labeler, wherein during the entire circular movement a leading edge of the pusher plate is disposed parallel to one of the transport direction or to the web-shaped rim of the package; and
a folding bar for folding a free end of the sealing label around the web-shaped rim of each package after the sealing label has been attached to the web-shaped rim the package, wherein the folding bar has a bevel.
11. The labeler according to claim 10 , wherein the circular movement of the pusher plate is produced by two synchronously driven disks having the pusher plate attached thereto by a holder.
12. The labeler according to claim 11 , wherein the pusher plate is pivotable about a pivot axle of the holder.
13. The labeler according to claim 10 , wherein the pusher plate is spring-loaded by at least one compression spring.
14. The labeler according to claim 10 further comprising a downholder for positioning the packages.
15. The labeler according to claim 10 , wherein the press-on device is positioned laterally with respect to the transport unit.
16. The labeler according to claim 10 , wherein the pusher plate is inclined relative to a transport plane of the transport unit by an angle.
17. A labeler comprising:
a transport unit for transporting packages in a transport direction;
a label dispenser for applying a sealing label to a web-shaped rim of the package;
a press-on device, wherein the press on device has a pusher plate disposed for a circular movement during operation of the labeler, wherein during the entire circular movement a leading edge of the pusher plate is disposed parallel to one of the transport direction or to the web-shaped rim of the package; and
a folding bar for folding a free end of the sealing label around the web-shaped rim of each package after the sealing label has been attached to the web-shaped rim the package, wherein the folding bar is positioned on the press-on device in a stationary manner.
