<p>In the making of hollow plastic articles wherein a label is positioned in each of a plurality of spaced partible molds, a preform is positioned in each set of partible molds and the molds are closed and the preform is blown outwardly into the confines of the mold to apply the label to the resultant hollow plastic articles, the method of handling the labels which comprises successively removing labels from a label magazine and positioning the labels in an array which corresponds in spacing to the spacing of the sets of molds, simultaneously moving said labels in the array from the first position to a second position within the open partible molds and depositing the labels in the molds. The apparatus comprises a magazine for supporting labels in a stack, an endless belt transfer device positioned adjacent the magazine, means for indexing the belt in predetermined spaces corresponding to the spaces of said molds, means for successively removing a label from the magazine and depositing it on the conveyor, the spacing between the labels on the endless transfer conveyor corresponding to the spacing between the sets of molds, and means for removing the labels simultaneously from said endless transfer conveyor and delivering them between the open partible molds.</p> |
