Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2774070A1] For the prod. of printed and adhesive labels, the printed labels are cut to size and are self-adhesive through laying on a siliconized support to be wound on spools slightly larger than the label size for continuous mechanical coating with a watery adhesive. While still non-adhesive, the labels are stacked in the same orientation, and adhesive is applied to one surface of the support material which is presented to the label stack without contact, and towards the rear surface of the top label in the stack. The separation of the labels (1) from the stack is by a mechanism (8) which applies a series of intermittent pressure actions on the uncoated side (32) of the support strip (3), while it is held lightly over the label magazine (2). The momentary pressures on the support strip (3), over a zone slightly longer than the label (1) length, pick up the labels from the top of the stack as the carrier strip (3) is advanced over the magazine (2). The intermittent pressure unit (8) has a plate (81), pref. of the same dimensions as the label (1), resting lightly on the uncoated side (32) of the carrier strip (3) when in the rest position. The plate (81) is moved to and fro, in a stroke action, to press the coated side (31) of the carrier (3) against the rear surface of the top label (1) in the stack and lift it clear to be carried onwards with the carrier strip (3) movement while the plate (81) has returned to its rest position. The reciprocating stroke movement for the pressure plate (81) is through cams or electromagnets, to give successive pressures on the carrier (3).
