Abstract
In a labeling station for applying labels one above the other onto objects, having at least one pickup element mounted eccentrically on a rotating carrier for movement about an axis, a gripper cylinder is provided having a rotating carrier having eccentrically disposed gripping and pressing element for the upper and lower labels, which elements are tangent to the circulation path of the pickup elements approximately in synchronism. The labels are transferred by the gripping and pressing elements to objects moved along a transport path, whose areas to be labeled are at different distances from the gripper cylinder axis. Synchronism between the upper or lower pressing elements and the upper and lower gripping elements and their respective areas to which the labels are to be applied is carried out by the upper or lower gripping elements and the upper and lower pressing elements being respectively disposed on separate carrier parts rotating at equal angular velocity and disposed one above the other and eccentrically to one another. The circulation path of the pressing elements is offset eccentrically from the circulation path of the gripper elements which is tangent to the circulation path of the pickup elements such that it is tangent to the movement path of the areas that are to be labeled and has a radius in which the path speeds of the pressing elements and the areas to be labeled are equal within the labeling range.
