Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0455941A1] The invention relates to a labelling machine for containers, in particular bottles (1), to be closed by screw closures. For closure security, in the labelling machine a label is glued on, which is glued on with hot adhesive in the region of the closure (19) and with cold adhesive in the container region lying below. The application of the cold adhesive takes place in a conventional labelling station (12), leaving free the region provided for the hot adhesive, while the application of hot adhesive takes place directly onto the closure (19). Before hot adhesive is applied to the closure, it is checked on the transport path of the containers before the application location whether a container to be labelled is properly provided with a closure and whether a label removed properly from a label storage station (16) is available for transfer to the container. Only when at least one, but preferably both, conditions are satisfied, does the transfer of hot adhesive to the closure take place. <IMAGE>
