LINERLESS LABEL DISPENSER.

摘要

A dispensing mechanism dispenses labels having a pressure sensitive adhesive face (15) and an adhesive release material coated face (16). A guide (19) serves to guide the labels in web form along plasma-coated surfaces to a printer (26) and then to a cutter mechanism (27) for forming discrete labels (41) and dispensing the labels. An open-cell foam sponge is provided for wiping the rotary cutter using silicone oil wicked into the wiper. A plate projects from the exit opening (44) of the dispenser at an angle to the guide path to maintain the cut label on the dispenser plate. Additionally, a hub assembly (12) is provided wherein the hub has a contact area in excess of 50 percent of the available contact area along the inside of the core mounting the label supply.
