1,066,978. Securing labels, shoots. STEPHENS INDUSTRIES Inc. Dec. 29, 1965 [Dec. 31, 1964], No. 55047/65. Headings B8F and B8S. [Also in Divisions D1 and F2] A label is secured to an article by apparatus (see Division D1) adapted to pass a length of flexible filamentary thermoplastic material, issuing from a supply thereof, through the label and article, to sever said length from the supply, and to deform the protruding ends of the cut length by heating. Labels 26, stacked in a hopper 48, are fed consecutively on to ledges 28 flanking a V-shaped groove 30, to be secured thereat to fabric supported above groove 30 by wire arms 84. The labels in hopper 48 are supported by the front end of a slidable bar 54, the rear end of which is rigid with the piston-rod 60 of a pneumatic cylinder 62. Pressure is normally applied to the latter for positioning bar 54 to the left, when a shoulder (66), Fig. 7, thereon abuts the lowermost label. A reversal of pressure thereby shifts said label on to ledges (68), and, on retraction of bar 54, said label abuts a shoulder (74) while the now lowermost label abuts shoulder (66). In operation, a plate 96 on a lever 94 is manually depressed to actuate a microswitch. Pressure to cylinder 62 is thereby reversed, whereby bar 54 moves forward to transfer a label from the ledges (68) to the ledges 28. |
