Apparatus for mechanically transferring and adhesive-backed labels (42) to objects such as consumer items or packaging (51) for consumer items. It receives labels on a lift-off backing strip, peeling the labels off one at a time from A strip (45) by means of a peeler-bar (2). Using a pair of spring-loaded pawls (13) attached to the outer edges of a label receiver, the apparatus machanically engages each label along its outer edges as it begins to peel away from the strip. The label is then pressed directly onto the desired site, with no free-fall involved. The spring-loaded pawls (13) push outward disengaging the label as the label receiver contacts the surface to be labeled, thus leaving the label adhered to the desired surface. The action of the label receiver between its label-receiving position and its label-applying position is guided by a linear slide assembly (16). |
