Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020109441A1] The invention relates to a vacuum drum for a labeling unit. The essential aspect of the invention is that of specifying a vacuum drum for a labeling unit of a labeling machine, in particular for labeling containers or the like, the vacuum drum comprising at least one vacuum holder pair, which can rotate about a drum axis of the vacuum drum in a direction of rotation and which comprises at least two vacuum holders, which are provided on a peripheral surface of the vacuum drum around the drum axis at an offset to one another in the direction of rotation. A vacuum holder located in front with respect to the direction of rotation is provided for holding a front label end of a corresponding label, and a vacuum holder located in back with respect to the direction of rotation is provided for holding an associated rear label end on the peripheral surface of the vacuum drum. The vacuum holders of the at least one vacuum holder pair located in front and in back each have a rotational switching device, which can be switched into two fixed stationary operating positions and which has a switching element. Furthermore, the vacuum holders located in front and in back are designed to be switchable, by means of the respective rotational switching devices, between an inner maintenance position as the first fixed operating position, in which the at least one vacuum holder pair can be led past a gluing unit without contact, which gluing unit is provided next to the vacuum drum, and an outer working position as the second fixed operating position, in which the at least one vacuum holder pair can be led past the gluing unit with contact, in that the respective switching elements of the associated rotational switching devices can be brought into active engagement with at least two stationary switching devices in order to initiate the switching movements.
