Abstract (en)

A labelling machine comprises a label printer (15) associated with a label applicator device (16) incorporating a telescopic arrangement (48, 44, 43, 46) which is pivotally mounted at one end (30) on a fixed support (63) and at its other end carries a label transporter (32). Pivotal drive means (72, 73, 74, 77) is provided to move the telescopic arrangement (48, 44, 43, 46) between a label-receiving position (20, 26, 33, 13) where the transporter (32) collects a label from the printer (15) and a label delivery position. In the label delivery position drive means (45) is effective to cause the arrangement (48, 44, 46, 43) to extend and retract telescopically in order to deliver a label to a package at an applicator station (29). Control means (65, 66) is provided for measuring the extent of telescopic extension on each occurrance and for consequentially controlling the telescopic drive means (45) during retractive motion.
