Abstract
In an improved machine for applying self-adhesive labels to bottles, of the type in which a set of rotating segments (1) carried on vertical shafts (7) are cycled between a magazine and a transfer station by a revolving platform (8), the design of the segment features a surface (6) with a matrix of finely pointed projections (3) by which labels are picked up from their gummed side and supported temporarily with a minimum of surface contact, such that the adhesive properties of the label remain essentially unaffected by handling.
