Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8701675A1] A labelling device for tape cassettes comprises an arrangement for transporting tape cassettes on the edge, in a straight line and essentially in a horizontal direction, which receives the tape cassettes from a store. Arrangements for applying the labels are provided opposite on each side of the transport arrangement and each comprise label carriers which can move in a radial direction, fitted to a rotating head and revolving at the same speed around a vertical axis. These label carriers have vertical suction surfaces and pass successively past a label feed station, a preparation station and a labelling station. To apply the self-adhesive strips (60) each label application arrangement (18, 20) comprises at least one self-adhesive tape supply station (36, 38, 40, 42) which receives adhesive strips (60) affixed to a long support strips (62) made of paper or similar, transversely arranged in relation to its direction of feed. These self-adhesive strips (60) are transferred at the label feed station to the suction surfaces of the label carriers (30) at a position corresponding essentially to the desired application position, with the self-adhesive surface turned radially outwards. The preparation station is designed as an alignment station (44, 46, 48, 50) to align the self-adhesive strips (60) carried on the label carriers (30) and to apply them to the correct position.
