Abstract
In a labelling machine for objects such as bottles, comprising a bottle carrier having turntables for the bottles, a support, label pick-up elements on said support, a label gripper cylinder with transfer members, drive means coupling the support and the gripper cylinder so as to drive the pick-up elements successively past a glue roller, label stack and the gripper cylinder, and means for rotating each turntable comprising a stationary or fixed cam groove 30, 31 and a cam follower 24,25 so that during transfer of a label from the gripper cylinder to a bottle there is substantial synchronism between the transfer members of the gripper cylinder and the bottle areas to which the labels are to be applied, the improvement wherein the stationary cam in the area of the gripper cylinder contains a second cam 26, 27 which is exchangeable with another cam 39 or which is displaceable by a control means 32-38 such that upon entry and departure of the cam follower into or out of the second cam, the second cam merges with the stationary cam, whereby the machine can readily be adjusted to handle bottles of different radius and/or labels of different size.
