A labeler for dispensing labels from a carrier strip having labels stuck onto the strip. The labeler has a case in which is a carrier strip feeding mechanism driven by an actuating mechanism for advancing the carrier strip so as to turn it around a turnback member for separating the label from the carrier strip. A printing apparatus is provided which moves toward the turnback member for printing a label which is passing thereover on the carrier strip. The printing apparatus is mounted on the operating part of the actuating mechanism so that it can rock in a direction transverse to its plane of movement so that it can adjust to the level of the turnback member. The labeler also has a guide member for guiding the carrier strip over a feed drum which can be pivoted out of the way to thread a carrier strip into the labeler. An ink applying device is provided having a resilient guide engaged with the ink applying roller so that it can be moved out of the way to remove the roller. The case can be provided with a door, the hinge means of which provides a spring force tending to urge the door in the opening direction when the door is closed, and resiliently mounting the door hinge for rotation around a shaft in the casing. A slide member is provided adjacent the turnback member to support the rear edge of the label as it is separated from the carrier strip. |
