<p>A ribbon consisting of a series of interconnected labels is transported, first continuously and thereupon intermittently, along an elongated path toward a severing station where a movable knife separates successive foremost labels and the separated labels are engaged by pivotable suction heads which move the respective labels sideways into a different path for transport to a packing or other processing machine. That portion of the ribbon path which is located immediately ahead of the severing station extends along an arc of 180 DEG , and the mechanism for intermittently transporting the ribbon has two pivotable deforming jaws which cooperate to deform the ribbon between successive labels whereupon a shoulder of one of the jaws engages the deformed portion and pushes the ribbon toward the severing station. The path for the ribbon includes several additional arcuate portions upstream of the jaws so as to insure that the apparatus can be installed in a small area and that (if necessary) the supply reel which pays out the ribbon can be placed close to the severing station.</p> |
