A swivel mount is configured for use with a tamp pad for a label applicator of the type for receiving a label at a first retracted position and applying th e label to an object at a second, extended position. The mount includes a mounting block f or fastening to the tamp pad. The mounting block has a bore therein having an inner, open cross-sectional region and a retaining region. A knuckle fitting is received within the bore and is engageable with the retaining region. The knuckle fitting has a largest cross-sectional area that is larger than the open cross-sectional ar ea of the retaining region such that a portion of the knuckle fitting is retained with in the bore. A spring is positioned to provide a force against the knuckle fitting agains t the retaining region. The mount permits movement of the tamp pad from an orientation perpendicular to a direction of movement between the retracted and extended positions to an orientation inclined relative to the direction of movement.< /SDOAB> |
