Abstract
Apparatus is disclosed for decorating the sides of bottles and similar articles having a variety of cross-sections, of the type in which a label is pressed onto the article from a carrier web while both the web and article are in motion. The apparatus includes a cam and cam follower mechanism wherein the cam is profiled in the cross-section of the article. The cam and cam follower are driven by a cable moving at the linear velocity of the carrier web in order to coordinate web advance with article rotation. The article is housed on a laterally movable swing arm during labelling to provide a variable axial location.
