Abstract

A labeling machine, particularly of the reel-fed type, includes a framework (2) which supports an application element (10) provided with at least one rotating member (11) adapted to transfer the individual labels on corresponding containers moved by a conveyance element (50); the application assembly is fed by a driving element (20) which unwinds the ribbon of the labels from a reel which is supported by a rotatable support (31) mounted on at least one reel supporting assembly (30). The labeling machine includes an articulation element (100) in order to move reversibly the reel supporting assembly from a working position, in which the rotation axis (3000) of the rotatable support is substantially parallel to the rotation axis (1000) of the rotating member, to a loading position, in which the rotation axis of the rotatable support is transverse to the rotation axis of the rotating member.

Dependent claims

A labeling machine, particularly of the reel-fed type, comprising a framework (2) which supports an application means (10) provided with at least one rotating member (11) adapted to transfer individual labels on corresponding containers moved by a conveyance means (50);

said application assembly (10) is fed by a driving means (20) which unwinds a labels ribbon from a reel which is supported by a rotatable support (31) mounted on at least one reel supporting assembly (30);
said labeling machine (1) is characterized in that it comprises an articulation means (100) which moves said reel supporting assembly (30) from a working position to a loading position and vice versa;
in said working position, a rotation axis (3000) of said rotatable support (31) is substantially parallel to a rotation axis (1000) of said rotating member (11), whereas in said loading position, the rotation axis (3000) of said rotatable support (31) is transverse to the rotation axis (1000) of said rotating member (1).
