Label applicator

A method of applying a label to a curved surface of an object, the method comprising:

• providing a label applicator comprising:
• a body having a first side and a second side, the second side comprising a curved surface, wherein at least one pathway extends from the first side of the body to the curved surface on the second side of the body;
• a base positioned proximate to the first side of the body;
• at least one first resilient member having a defined length between a first end and a second end, wherein the at least one first resilient member extends through the at least one pathway, the first end of the at least one first resilient member engages with the base, and the second end of the at least one first resilient member extends beyond the curved surface;
• and
• at least one second resilient member engaging the body and the base,
• wherein the second end of the at least one first resilient member is configured to removably attach to a label;
• attaching the label to the second end of the at least one first resilient member;
• moving the label applicator towards an object having a curved surface;
• adhering the label to the curved surface using an increasing application force based at least on the first resilient member and the second resilient member, wherein the at least one first resilient member moves independently of the body such that pressure initially applied to the label as the label is attached to the second end compresses the second end toward the curved surface of the body, and wherein, upon the pressure causing the second end to reach the curved surface, further pressure compresses the body toward the base;
• and
• detaching the label from the second end of the at least one first resilient member.
