Latest Patents
Kenneth Young's latest patents include a method and apparatus for the decoration of bottles at high speeds. This innovative system involves bottles being delivered by an input conveyor to a star wheel, which deposits them into a continuously rotating turret. The turret carries the bottles past a labelling site, where a label carrier strip is pressed into contact with the bottle surface, transferring the label effectively. The shape of the bottle is maintained during labelling through inflation via an inserted nozzle. The raising and lowering of the inflating nozzle, along with the flow of inflating air, is controlled by special valving apparatus. The motion of the label carrier strip is regulated by rolls on a shuttle slide, which is reciprocated by a second slide driven by a conjugate cam. This design results in an increase of the local velocity of the carrier strip during most of the cycle, followed by a slowing of the strip during the balance. After labelling, the inflating nozzle is retracted, and the bottle is removed by a second star wheel for further processing.
