<p>Apparatus for decorating the sides of bottles and similar articles (B) having a variety of cross-sections, of the type in which a label is pressed onto the article from a carrier web (25) while both the web and article are in motion. The apparatus includes a cam (70) and cam follower mechanism (80) wherein the cam (70) is profiled in the cross-section of the article. The cam (70) and cam follower (80) are driven by a cable (75) moving at the linear velocity of the carrier web (25) in order to coordinate web advance with article rotation. The article is housed on a laterally movable swing arm (60) during labelling to provide a variable axial location. </p> |
