Method and device for arranging a label in a mould

An injection moulding device comprising:

• a mould comprising a mould cavity, wherein the mould cavity is delimited by an internal peripheral surface that defines a first axial axis, and
• a device for arranging a label in the mould cavity of the mould, wherein the device comprises a mandrel with a peripheral wall that defines an axial direction and a peripheral direction, wherein the peripheral wall defines a second axial axis, and wherein the peripheral wall is provided with:
• a peripheral part having a shape that substantially corresponds to a shape of a part of the internal peripheral surface of the mould cavity, and
• a non-convex part that extends in the axial direction of the peripheral wall of the mandrel,
• wherein the peripheral wall is designed in such a manner that the label is arranged around the peripheral wall of the mandrel in such a manner that the label comprises a first side edge part and a second side edge part that can be arranged around the peripheral wall of the mandrel so that the second side edge part overlaps the first side edge part at a location of the non-convex part of the peripheral wall of the mandrel, when viewed in the peripheral direction of the mandrel,
• in wherein the mandrel with a label that has been arranged in such a manner around the peripheral wall thereof can be moved between a label-receiving position outside the mould cavity and a position in the mould cavity for dispensing the label,
• and wherein the device is provided with means for transferring the label from the peripheral wall of the mandrel to the internal peripheral surface of the mould cavity,
• wherein the mandrel and the mould can be displaced with respect to one another in such a manner that during transfer of the label from the peripheral wall of the mandrel to the internal peripheral surface of the mould cavity, the first axial axis of the internal peripheral surface of the mould cavity and the second axial axis of the peripheral part of the peripheral wall of the mandrel are eccentric with respect to one another.
