Abstract
A label sticking apparatus has a suction drum with at least three holding-sticking units mounted at constant intervals on the periphery thereof so as to be movable in radial directions of the suction drum. The suction drum is rotated intermittently by a constant amount so as to feed and stop the holding-sticking units at a label feeding station, a positioning station and a sticking station which are disposed around the suction drum in this sequence. Labels are seriatim peeled from a label tape and held on a distal end of the holding-sticking unit at the label feeding station. At the positioning station, positioning of each label is performed by a positioning head having a centering pin and a pair of angular position correction pins. At the sticking station, the holding-sticking unit is pushed through an eccentric cam radially outward from the suction drum toward a work-piece, to press and stick the label held on the holding-sticking unit onto the work-piece.
