Verfahren und Vorrichtung zur Etikettabgabe

摘要

There is provided a system for accurately dispensing labels such as pressure sensitive labels from a carrier web having a release surface, on a continuous or synchronized basis. The system is based on a brake mechanism and a pressure roll pivoted about a common point, the former adapted to prevent transport of labels to a label dispensing element or mechanism and the latter for advancing a web or residue matrix by engagement with a constant running drum, upon release of the brake. Accurate dispensing of labels using the system is achieved through alternating brake-drive of the web or matrix in combination with the maintenance of a constant tension between the brake and rewind mechanism.
