The present invention is directed to a labeling apparatus designed to dispense and apply self-adhesive labels arranged on a carrier web, a base plate suitable therefor and a label web. A feed wheel for the carrier web is rotatably mounted on the base plate and has at both its end faces a ring of axial pins engageable by an operating lever pivotally mounted on a casing of the labeling apparatus in order to drive the feed wheel in increments. The feed wheel has a generating surface with two rings of radial projections in the form of knobs adapted to make positive engagement with recesses or cutouts of the carrier web. Instead of using knobs as projections, it is also possible to provide sprockets on the feed wheel which are adapted to make positive engagement with slits in the carrier web. The base plate is configured as an interchangeable base plate which is selectable in dependence upon the phase relationship of the rings of projections to the rings of axial pins of the feed wheel.
A labeling apparatus for dispensing and applying self-adhesive labels arranged on a carrier web, said labeling apparatus comprising:
A label web for use in a labeling apparatus having a base plate, said label web comprising a carrier web and with self-adhesive labels adhered thereto in series arrangement, wherein at least two longitudinal edges of said label web are configured to be continuous lines of opposite phase with like elevations and recesses alternating at regular intervals, and in which said elevations and recesses lie opposite each other in pairs across the width of said label web, and wherein a phase relationship of the pitch of the carrier web to the pitch of the strip of individual labels arranged on said carrier web is chosen such that each pair of recesses of the carrier web lies in the center between two straight and parallel boundary lines of each label which extend in a direction transverse to a longitudinal direction of said carrier web.
