Labelling machine for labelling vessels

In a labelling machine for labelling vessels of different shapes with different labels having a turntable adapted to be rotatingly driven about an axis and at least one labelling station for applying labels to said vessels located on the circumference of the path of rotation of the turntable, which station is followed by wipe-on and pressure-applying elements, means for feeding vessels to be labelled onto the turntable and for discharging labelled vessels therefrom, the turntable having at least one rotatably mounted rotary table on which said vessel sits while on said turntable, a stationary radial cam and a control member engagable with said cam and operatively connected to said rotary table for controlling rotary movement of the rotary table and the vessel sitting thereon during one revolution of the turntable, the improvement comprising at least two stationary radial cams, each having a different program of rotation for the rotary table for one revolution of the turntable, said radial cams being disposed in axially spaced relationship relative to the direction of the axis of the turntable, and means for optionally adjusting the engagement between said control member and radial cams to change-over the machine from one vessel type or one label type to another type.
