Abstract
This invention relates to a labelling machine for objects, in particular bottles, with several stations located one behind another along a track, namely an adhesive application station, a label feed station and a label transfer station. At least one extracting element is mounted so that it can rotate on a rotating support. The extracting element has an outwardly curved receptacle surface for the label which rolls past the individual stations when the support rotates. The drive mechanisms of each extracting element comprises a cam transmission mechanism. The cam transmission mechanism comprises two cams located one above the other. The cams have the basic shape of ovals indented on both long sides and are oriented crossways to one another. A plurality of followers engage with the outside curves of the cams. The followers are offset from one another by an angle not equal to 90 degrees and have lever arms of different lengths.
