<p>Labelling apparatus, for example for applying labels to articles such as bottles by means of a pressure-sensitive adhesive, includes a presser 20 which comprises an array of freely rotatable rollers 22. Each roller 22 has a resilient surface constituted, for example, by a foam rubber sleeve, and is independently resiliently mounted on a common support 24 by means of springs 36. Labels 16 are partially affixed to bottles 4 which are then rotated about their axes as they pass the presser 20. Resilient contact between the rollers 22 and the label 16 cause the label 16 to be pressed against the surface of the bottle 4 to fix it in place.</p> |
