Abstract
The present invention includes: a label opening unit, which preliminarily opens a tubular label folded in a sheet; a label expansion unit, which expands the preliminarily opened label; a bottle lifting unit having a mounting, on which the bottle is mounted and which can rise and fall; and a bottle pull-up unit, which lifts the bottle while holding with the bottle an upper end portion of the label attached to the bottle. After the bottle lifting unit has lifted the mounting on which the bottle is mounted, thereby inserting the bottle into the label expanded by the label expansion unit, the bottle pull-up unit pulls up the bottle, thereby removing expansion claws from the label and moving the bottle to above clamp members of the label opening unit.
Claims4
A label attachment device comprising:
- a label opening unit configured to preliminarily open a tubular label supplied as folded in a sheet;
- a label expansion unit having openable and closable expansion claws configured to expand the label preliminarily opened by the label opening unit;
- and
- a lifting unit configured to lift to a label attachment level a mounting on which an attachment target object is mounted, wherein
- the lifting unit lifts the mounting on which the attachment target object is mounted, thereby inserting the attachment target object into the tubular label expanded by the expansion claws, and the expansion claws are removed from the label, thereby attaching the label to the attachment target object that is moving along a predetermined movement path,
- the label attachment device further comprises a pull-up unit configured to pull up the attachment target object to which the label is attached, while holding the attachment target object at a label portion, and
- after the attachment target object has been inserted into the label, the pull-up unit pulls up the attachment target object, thereby removing the expansion claws from the label and moving the attachment target object to above the label opening unit, so that, while a process after the label opening unit receives the label is executed, the attachment target object to which the label is attached is conveyed above the label opening unit.
