Abstract
A correction label applying device for use with a portable label printing machine is disclosed. The device comprises a price tag holding device for temporarily holding a price tag to be corrected. The price tag holding device is mounted on a guide at the underside of the portable label printing machine so as to be movable between an operative forward position, in which it holds a price tag or the like in a position to receive at a predetermined location thereon a correction label piece fed out by the portable label printing machine, and a rest rearward position, in which the price tag holding device is positioned rearwardly from the correction label exit of the printing machine so as not to interfere with the label printing machine being operated to print and apply a label in the usual manner.
Claims14
A correction label applying device for use in conjunction with a label applicating machine, said device comprising:
- price tag holding means for holding a price tag or the like which is to be corrected;
- and
- mounting means for mounting said price tag holding means on a label applicating machine for permitting said price tag holding means to be moved between a first and a second position;
- in said first position, said price tag holding means being adapted to hold a price tag or the like in an applicating position relative to the label applicating machine so that the price tag or the like will receive a label piece fed out by the label applicating machine;
- in said second position, said price tag holding means being located remote from said applicating position;
- and when said correction label applying device is mounted on the label applicating machine, said second position being sufficiently remote from said applicating position that said price tag holding means, when in said second position, will not block the application by the label applicating machine of a label to an article other than a price tag or the like held on said price tag holding means.
In combination, a label applicating machine and a correction label applying device, said combination comprising:
- a label applicating machine comprising applicator means for applying a label to a selected article and having an applicating zone at which a label is applied by said applicating means;
- and
- a correction label applying device mounted on said label applicating machine, said correction label applying device comprising:
- price tag holding means for holding a price tag or the like which is to be corrected;
- and
- mounting means securing said price tag holding means to said label applicating machine and permitting said price tag holding means to be moved between a first and a second position;
- in said first position, said price tag holding means being adapted to hold a price tag or the like in an applicating position so that the price tag or the like will receive a label piece fed out by the label applicating machine;
- in said second position, said price tag holding means being located sufficiently remote from said applicating position that said price tag holding means, when in said second position, will not block the application by said applicating means of a label to a selected article other than a price tag or the like held on said price tag holding means.
