<p>In the making of hollow plastic articles wherein at least one label (L) is positioned in each of a plurality of spaced partible moulds (20), a preform or parison is positioned in each set of partibla moulds and the moulds are closed and the preform is blown outwardly into the confines of the mould to apply the label to the resultant hollow plastic articles, there is provided a method of handling the labels which comprises; successively removing labels (L) from a label magazine (26) and positioning the labels in an array which corresponds in spacing to the spacing of the sets of moulds, simultaneously moving the labels in the array from the first position to a second position within the open partible moulds and depositing the labels in the moulds. The apparatus comprises a magazine (26) for supporting labels (L) in a stack, an endless belt transfer device (27) positioned adjacent the magazine - (26), means (30, 32 to 38) for indexing the belt (27) in predetermined spaces corresponding to the spaces of the moulds, means (28) for successively removing labels (L) from ,the magazine (26) and depositing them on the conveyor, the spacing between successive labels on the endless transfer conveyor (27) corresponding to the spacing between the sets of moulds, and-means (63 to 65) for removing the labels simultaneously from the endless transfer conveyor (27) and delivering them between the open partible moulds (20).</p> |
