Abstract:
1. A device for two-sided or multi-sided application of at least one self-adhesive label to a three-dimensional object, which has a protrusion defining a lower fillet, comprising: a transport or support surface supporting the object to be labelled, a conveyor for transporting the object to be labelled, at least one applicator means, by means of which the label can be applied to the protrusion of the object, at least one pressing means, comprising a pressing body, for smoothing the label onto the object, and a control means, wherein the pressing body can be moved back and forth from an initial position, which is vertically spaced from the transport or support surface and located above the transport or support surface, to an operating position, in which the pressing body reaches under the protrusion of the labelled object defining the lower fillet and is arranged at least in part below said protrusion, the pressing body configured to be moved back and forth from the initial position to the operating position by means of a single drive, wherein, after the pressing means is moved back to its initial position by the associated drive, the labelled object is moved through beneath the pressing means, wherein the label is smoothed onto the lower fillet of the object, wherein the pressing body is mounted on a many-membered articulated transmission, which is coupled to the single drive, and wherein by means of the control means, the drive, which moves the pressing means, and the conveyor for transporting the object to be labelled can be controlled in such a way that the conveyor fixes the object in an application position and the pressing body is moved against the object to smooth the label onto the lower fillet of the object.
