Improved Machine for Labelling Tins, Jars, Bottles, and other
Articles.
We, JAMES RICHARD BRADLEY, of Rose Street, North Unley, Carpenter,
HUBERT GILES, of Nos. 35 and 37, Grenfell Street, Adelaide, Gentleman, and
FRANCIS VILLIERS SANDERSON, of No. 18, Waymouth Street, Adelaide, Solicitor,
all in the Province of South Australia, do hereby declare the nature of our inven-
tion for "improved machine for labelling tins jars bottles and other articles"
to be as follows;-
This invention is designed to provide a machine which will effectually
accomplish the affixing of labels to tins jars bottles and other articles in an
expeditious and satisfactory manner. All the devices which combined make up
the complete machine and are hereinafter described are actuated through their
several connections from the one common shaft called the main shaft and each
device is arranged and designed to perform its work at 'the proper time relatively
to the operation of the others.
The several devices may be enumerated as follows: (1) the feeding device
for the tins jars bottles or other articles to be labelled (2) the label case and label
elevating and retaining mechanisms (3) the pasting device and (4) the apparatus
for receiving the tins jars bottles or other articles from the feeding device and
forwarding the same over the label case.
In order that our invention may be clearly understood we will describe first
the frame upon which the several devices are arranged and then each of the
several devices with its connection to the main shaft and throughout this descrip
tion the words tin or tins where used are to be held to include jars bottles
and other articles to be labelled.
"
"
The several devices are arranged upon or above a bed preferably formed of
wood. At a suitable height above this bed is a platform consisting of two pieces
of angle iron extending from one end of the machine to the other and supported
by means of eight standards arranged in a double row all of which except the two
at the delivery end are rigidly secured to the bed and suitably stayed. The two
standards at the delivery end are pivotally secured to the bed as will be further
explained when describing the apparatus for receiving the tins from the feeding
device and forwarding them over the label case. The angle iron at the front of
the machine is rigidly attached to the standards but the angle iron at the back
is adapted to be moved by means of four screws towards or from the front angle
iron upon four guide rods for the purpose of allowing the machine to be set to
label tins of greater or less length. The guide rods serve as stays between the
standards to which they are secured by shoulder and nut at each end. Above
the front angle iron is a bar which is provided with loops and set screws whereby
it is secured at any desired height above the angle iron. The loops encircle and
the setscrews bite upon the main standards and intermediate standards secured
to the angle iron. Above the rear angle iron is a bar which is supported from

page_text: the angle iron by means of several short standards so that it shall be moved in
and out with the angle iron. The short standards on the delivery side of the label
case are secured to the bar and the loops and set screws are providel on the angle
iron. The bars are secured to the standards at about the centres of the tins.
The horizontal parts of the angle irons between the central standards are cut
away.
The main shaft of the machine is carried in two bearings secured to the bed
of the machine and is actuated by means of a handle or pulley.
The feeding device consists of an inclined platform formed by portion of the
aforesaid angle-irons upon which the tins to be labelled are placed by any suitable
means. At the lower end of the inclined platform are arranged two retaining
forks working through its floor one connected to each end of a rocking frame
pivoted upon the bed beneath the inclined platform. This frame is rocked by
means of a cam secured upon the main shaft. The cam depresses an arm project-
ing from the rocking frame, the return of the frame being secured by means of
a spring. The forks are so arranged that only one projects through the
floor at a time and they are placed with a distance equal to the diameter of one
tin intervening between them so that when the lower fork releases one tin the
upper fork engages the succeeding tin upon the inclined platform until the frame
is returned to its normal position when the tin moves forward and is retained by
the lower fork.
The
The label case is arranged centrally over the main shaft and is of length and
breadth just sufficient to receive the labels to be placed upon the tins and is deep
enough to accommodate some 2,000 labels, which are arranged within it with
their backs upwards and in this position the rollers of the pasting device herein-
after described impart to the topmost label the necessary amount of paste. The
tin rolling from the inclined platform is received on to the top of the label case
and is fed forward by an endless band arranged at a suitable distance above and
parallel to the top of the labels. To keep the top label at the proper height the
following mechanism as each label is removed raises the bottom only of the case
on which the labels rest a distance equal to the thickness of one label. The main
shaft is provided with a worm which gearing with a worm wheel upon a vertical
spindle imparts rotary motion to the spindle on the top of which a small cog is
secured. This cog gears with another cog which has its boss internally screw-
threaded and is arranged upon a threaded shaft attached rigidly to the bottom
of the label case. The bottom of the vertical spindle is supported in a bearing
capable of being shifted' with the label case towards or from the front of the
machine according to the width of the labels to be used. The cogs rest upon a
crossbar or platform suitably supported from the standards of the frame.
body of the label case is also supported by a suitable arrangement of bars attached
to the standards of the frame. This arrangement ensures the necessary slow eleva-
tion of the labels. If preferred the bottom of the label case might be raised by
placing the threaded shaft in the place of the vertical spindle and fitting it with
an internally screw-threaded worm wheel gearing into the worm on the main
shaft. In this case the shaft would be carried by suitable guides and would pro-
ject some distance through a slot in the bed. To prevent the top label being
moved out of place either sidewards by the retreat of the pasting rollers or
becoming twisted out of truth the following arrangements are provided. The
movement of the labels sidewards towards the pasting apparatus by reason of the
retreat of the rollers is prevented by means of a presser foot which is arranged
upon the end of a lever connected to the top of a rod sliding vertically in suitable
guides and having a roller arranged in its lower end impinging upon a cam upon
the main shaft. The cam face is covered with india-rubber and is so set upon
the shaft that the foot is depressed on to the labels whilst the rollers are retreat-
ing over the label but is withdrawn before the approach of the tin. The sides of
the label case and the back end of the case project above the top of the labels but
the top of the feed end and the top of the sides at the feed end are cut away to

page_text: below the level of the label. This allows the tin to come down upon the pasted
end of the label but prevents twisting of the labels. Notches are cut down to
the top of the labels in the sides at the back end of the case to allow the passage
of the paste carrying rollers. At the feed end of the case is a stop plate im-
mediately against the end of the case sliding vertically in suitable guides and
provided with an elevating spring whereby it is held in its upper position till it
is depressed to the level of the top label by the tin passing over it.
The pasting device consists of a carriage operated by suitable devices having
at its forward part grooved rollers capable of carrying paste in narrow transverse
strips across both ends of the topmost label. The pasting rollers are secured to
the carriage by means of weighted pivoted arms whereby they are capable of free
vertical movement. This carriage is supported at each end by runners fitting
into suitable guideways and is moved forwards and backwards by the rocking of
a lever to the top of which it is connected by a pivoted frame. The lever rocks
upon a pivot pin which is carried by the rear supports of the frame and it receives
motion from a crank attached to a vertical shaft driven from the main shaft by
means of bevel cogs. The pivot pin may be inserted into one of several holes in
the rocking lever according to the width of the label being used and the travel
of the carriage required therefor. The rotary motion of the crank imparts
reciprocal motion to the bottom of the lever through a link and double connecting
rod. The pin attaching the link to the double rod slides in guide-
ways attached to suitable blocks upon the bed. The paste is contained in shallow
trays immediately adjoining the label case. The front of each tray is made in
the form of an inclined plane up which the paste carrying rollers travel on their
way to the label. Connected to the rear of each tray is a plate having a central
slot through which passes a bolt with a thumb nut. This bolt passes through
a slot, at the back of the upper bed at right angles to the slot in the plate. By
this means the trays may be secured in any desired position. The crank is so
set that the return of the rocking lever secures the retreat of the pasting rollers
to the paste tray before the tin. reaches the end of the pasted label. The trays
and the guide-ways are supported upon an upper bed the front end of which is
carried upon an angle iron attached to the central standards of the frame while
the hinder portion rests upon and is secured to two supports placed one on either
side of a slot which extends from the back nearly to the front of the bed to pro-
vide working space for the rocking lever.
over
and feeding then
The apparatus for receiving the tins
label which has been pasted and along the delivery platform consists
of
of an endless band of flexible material carried upon rollers
which is mounted just above or near the termination of the inclined platform
of the feeding device and the other at such distance therefrom as may be found
necessary. To secure further pressure upon the tin whilst crossing the pasted
label another roller is arranged above the further extremity of the label case.
The pressure on the tin causes the adherence of the already pasted label. The
journals of these rollers are carried in blocks adapted to be moved up and down
the standards and provided with set screws whereby they may be adjusted at a suit-
able height above the platform according to the diameter of the tins being labelled.
The blocks carrying the rollers at either end of the label case are provided with
slots to take the journals of the rollers so that the rollers may rise slightly to
accommodate the tins. The further roller receives motion from the main shaft
through the medium of a chain and chain wheels an indler-pulley being pro-
vided whereby the chain may be adjusted. After passing over the label case
the tin is received upon a board resting upon the angle irons of the frame. The
upper surface of the board is covered with a suitable resilient material such as
blanket. In order to allow the band and the rollers to be removed when desired
the standards which support the roller at the delivery end are pivoted to the bed
and have hinged to them at about their centres a bridle which is provided with
one
the

page_text: a draw screw passing through a nut carried by a rigid standard. By this means
the band may be tightened up or slackened off as desired.
The several mechanisms together constitute a machine capable of performing
by hand or motive power the labelling of tins jars bottles and other articles in
an expeditious and satisfactory manner as will be fully described with the aid 5
of drawings when the Complete Specifications are deposited.

Improved Machine for Labelling Tins, Jars, Bottles, and other
Articles.
We, JAMES RICHARD BRADLEY, of Rose Street, North Unley, Carpenter,
HUBERT GILES, of Grenfell Street, Adelaide, Gentleman, and FRANCIS VILLIERS
SANDERSON, of Waymouth Street, Adelaide, Solicitor, all of the Province of South
Australia, do hereby declare the nature of our invention for "Improved machine
for labelling tins jars bottles and other articles" and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:-
This invention is designed to provide a machine which will effectually
accomplish the affixing of labels to tins jars bottles and other articles in an
expeditious and satisfactory manner. All the devices which combined make up
the complete machine and are hereinafter described are actuated through their
several connections from the one common shaft called the main shaft and each
device is arranged and designed to perform its work at the proper time relatively
to the operation of the others.
The several devices may be enumerated as follows: (1) the feeding device
for the tin jar bottle or other article to be labelled (2) the label case and label
elevating and retaining mechanisms (3) the pasting device and (4) the apparatus
for receiving the tins jars bottles or other articles from the feeding device and
forwarding the same over the label case.
In order that our invention may be clearly understood we will describe the
saine with reference to the accompanying drawings in which the same letters
refer to the same parts in all the figures.

We will first describe the frame upon which the several devices are arranged
and then each of the several devices with its connection to the main shaft and

page_text: throughout this description the words "tin" or "tins" where used are to be
held to include jars bottles and other articles to be labelled.
The
The several devices are arranged upon or above a bed A preferably formed of
wood. At a suitable height above this bed is a platform consisting of two pieces
of angle iron B and B extending from one end of the machine to the other and
supported by means of eight standards C and C arranged in a double row all
of which except the two at the delivery end are rigidly secured to the bed A and
suitably stayed. The two standards at the delivery end are pivotally secured to
the bed A as will be fully explained when describing the apparatus for receiving
the tins from the feeding device and forwarding them over the label case.
angle iron B at the front of the machine is rigidly attached to the standards C
but the angle iron B¹ at the back is adapted to be moved by means of four
screws B2 towards or from the angle iron B upon four guide rods C2 for the pur-
pose of allowing the machine to be set to label tins of greater or less length.
The
guide rods C serve as stays between the standards and C¹ to which they are
secured by shoulder and nut at each end. Above the angle iron B is a bar D
which is provided with loops D2 and setscrews D³ whereby it is secured at any
desired height above the angle iron B. The loops D2 encircle and the set-
screws D3 bite upon the main standards C and intermediate standards C3 secured
to the angle iron B. Above the angle iron B¹ is a bar D' which is supported from
the angle iron B¹ by means of several short standards C so that it shall be moved
in and out with the angle iron B. The short standards C on the delivery side
of the label case are secured to the bar D¹ and the loops and setscrews are pro-
vided on the angle iron B¹. The bars D and D' are secured to the standards at
about the centres of the tins. The horizontal parts of the angle irons between
the central standards C and are cut away.
The main shaft E of the machine is carried in two bearings E¹ secured to the
bed A of the machine and is actuated by means of a handle or pulley fitted upon
the squared end E².
The
The feeding device consists of an inclined platform formed by portion of the
aforesaid angle irons upon which the tins to be labelled are placed by any suitable
means. At the lower end of the inclined platform are arranged two retaining
forks F and F working through perforations in the plate F3 one connected to
each end of a rocking frame pivotted beneath the inclined platform. This
frame is rocked by means of a cam E3 secured upon the main shaft E.
cam 3 depresses an arm F projecting from the rocking frame F, the return of
the frame being secured by means of a spring F5. The forks are so arranged that
only one projects through the floor at a time and they are placed with a distance
equal to the diameter of one tin intervening between them, so that when the lower
fork releases one tin the upper fork F2 engages the succeeding tin upon the
inclined platform until the frame is returned to its normal position when the tin
moves forward and is retained by the lower fork. The plate F3 through which the
forks F1, F2 work is attached to the angle iron B by bolts or rivets and to the angle
iron B by means of a loop which does not prevent the adjustment of the angle
iron B¹.
The label case H is arranged centrally over the main shaft E and is of length
and breadth just sufficient to receive the labels to be placed upon the tins and is
deep enough to accommodate some 2.000 labels which are arranged within it with
their backs upwards and in this position the rollers of the pasting device herein-
after described impart to the topmost label the necessary amount of paste.
The
tin rolling from the inclined platform is received on to the top of the label case
and is fed forward by an endless band arranged at a suitable distance above and
parallel to the top of the labels. To keep the top label at the proper height the
following mechanism as each label is removed raises the bottom H only of the
case on which the labels rest a distance equal to the thickness of one label. The
main shaft E is provided with a worm E which gearing with a worm wheel H²

page_text: upon the vertical spindle H³ imparts rotary motion to the spindle on the top of
which a small cog H' is secured. This cog H gears with another cog H5 which
has its boss internally screw-threaded and is arranged upon a threaded shaft H6
attached rigidly to the bottom H¹ of the label case. The bottom of the vertical
spindle H³ is supported in a bearing H7 capable of being shifted with the label
case towards or from the front of the machine according to the width of the
labels to be used. The cogs H and H³ rest upon a cross bar H8 or platform sup-
ported upon two bars C5 secured to the four central standards C and C of the
frame. The body of the label case is also supported by a suitable arrangement of
bars H also secured to the bars C. End or side movement of the label case is
prevented by two bars H one on either side which slide upon two screwed rods C
carried by the four central standards C, C₁ and when set are held in place by
jamb nuts. This arrangement ensures the necessary slow elevation of the labels.
Should it be desired to use labels of greater or less thickness a threaded shaft Ho
and cog H³ of different pitch are employed. If preferred the bottom of the label
case might be raised by placing the threaded shaft H in the place of the vertical
spindle H and fitting it with an internally screw-threaded worm wheel H2 gearing
into the worm E on the main shaft. In this case the shaft He would be carried
by suitable guides and would project some distance through a slot in the bed A.
To prevent the top label being moved out of place either sideways by the retreat
of the pasting rollers or becoming twisted out of truth the following arrangements
are provided. The movement of the labels aidewards towards the pasting
apparatus by reason of the retreat of the rollers is prevented by means of a presser
foot H which is arranged upon the end of a lever H2 connected to the top
of a rod H sliding vertically in suitable guides and having a roller H¹ arranged
in its lower end impinging upon a cam E5 upon the main shaft E.
The cam
face is covered with india-rubber and is so set upon the shaft that the foot H is
depressed on to the labels whilst the rollers are retreating over the label but is
withdrawn before the approach of the tin. The sides of the label case and the
back end of the case project above the top of the labels but the top of the feed
end and the top of the sides at the feed end are cut away to below the level of
the label. This allows the tin to come down upon the pasted end of the label
but prevents twisting of the labels. Notches H6 are cut down to the top of the
labels in the sides at the back end of the case to allow the passage of the paste
carrying rollers. At the feed end of the case is a stop plate H5 immediately
against the end of the case sliding vertically in suitable guides and provided
with an elevating spring whereby it is held in its upper position till it is depressed
to the level of the top label by the tin passing over it.
The pasting device consists of a carriage K operated by suitable devices having
at its forward part grooved rollers K¹ capable of carrying paste in narrow trans-
verse strips across both ends of the topmost label. The pasting rollers are
secured to the carriage by means of weighted pivotted arms K³ whereby they
are capable of free vertical movement. This carriage is supported at each end
by runners K fitting into suitable guideways R2 and is moved forwards and back-
wards by the rocking of a lever K to the top of which it is connected by a pivotted
frame K. The lever rocks upon a pivot pin K which is carried by the rear sup-
ports R3 of the frame and it receives motion from a crank K7 attached to a vertical
shaft K8 driven from the main shaft E by means of bevil cogs K and E. The
pivot pin K may be inserted into one of several holes in the rocking lever K
according to the width of the label being used and the travel of the carriage
required therefor. The rotary motion of the crank K' imparts reciprocal motion
to the bottom of the lever K through a link K10 and double connecting rod K
The pin K2 attaching the link K10 to the double rod K" slides in guideways K
attached to suitable blocks upon the bed A. The paste is contained in shallow
trays K immediately adjoining the label case. The front of each tray is made
in the form of an inclined plane up which the paste carrying rollers K¹ travel

page_text: on their way to the label. Connected to the rear of each tray is a plate K5 having
a central slot through which passes a bolt with a thumb nut K
This bolt
passes through a slot R' at the back of the upper bed R at right angles to the slot
in the plate K. By this means the trays may be secured in any desired position.
The crank K is so set that the return of the rocking lever K secures the retreat of
the pasting rollers K¹ to the paste tray before the tin reaches the end of the pasted
label. The trays K and the guideways R2 are supported upon an upper bed R
the front end of which is carried upon an angle iron C8 attached to the central
standards C C¹ of the frame while the hinder portion rests upon and is secured
to two supports R³ placed one on either side of a slot which extends from the back
nearly to the front of the bed R to provide working space for the rocking lever K
The apparatus for receiving the tins and feeding them over the label which has
been pasted and along the delivery platform consists of an endless band M of
flexible material carried upon rollers one of which M is mounted just above or
near the termination of the inclined platform of the feeding device and the
other Mat such distance therefrom as may be found necessary. To secure
further pressure upon the tin whilst crossing the pasted label another roller M³
is arranged above the further extremity of the label case. The pressure on the
tin causes the adherence of the already pasted label. The journals of these rollers
are carried in blocks M* adapted to be moved up and down the standards C and C
and provided with setscrews whereby they may be adjusted at a suitable height
above the platform according to the diameter of the tins being labelled. The
blocks carrying the rollers M2 and M3 at either end of the label case are provided
with slots to take the journals of the rollers so that the rollers may rise slightly
to accommodate the tins. The further roller M receives motion from the main
shaft E through the medium of a chain M³ and chain wheels M® and E7. An idler
pulley M is provided whereby the chain M³ may be adjusted. After passing over
the label case the tin is received upon a board 13 resting upon the angle irons 13
and B of the frame. The upper surface of the board is covered with a suitable
resilient material such as blanket. In order to allow the band M and the rollers Me
and M to be removed when desired the standards and C₁ which support the
roller M at the delivery end are pivotted to the bed A and have hinged to them
at about their centres a bridle M8 which is provided with a draw screw MP passing
through a nut M10 carried by a rigid standard M". By this means the band M
may be tightened up or slackened off as desired.
The several mechanisms together constitute a machine capable of performing by
hand or motive power the labelling of the tins jars bottles and other articles in
an expeditious and satisfactory manner and we will now 'describe the method of
operation.
All of the drawings represent the parts in the position they occupy when the
pasting rollers are advancing over the label. P represents a tin which has just
been labelled and P¹ represents the one to be labelled next. The tin P¹ is held
in place by the fork F' and the carriage K of the pasting device is near the end of
its forward movement. The rotation of the main shaft E being continued the
rotation of the crank K' forces the bottom of the rocking lever K outwards and
the carriage forwards until the pasting rollers reach the' front edge of the label
when the movement of the carriage is reversed and the pasting rollers are with-
drawn from over the label. At the time that the pasting rollers reach the front
edge of the label the cam E³ upon the main shaft raises the roller H" upon the
bottom of the rod H¹ and thereby rocks the lever H2 causing the presser foot H
to impinge firmly upon the top label until the pasting rollers have retreated from
it when the cam allows the roller H to drop and the presser foot is withdrawn.
Immediately the pasting rollers have retreated from over the label and the presser
foot has been withdrawn the cam E by depressing the arm F+ projecting from the
rocking frame Frocks the frame and causes the fork to be withdrawn allowing
the tin P to roll down until it is seized by the band M which rolls it along over

page_text: the label the pasted end of which adheres to the tin and the label is wrapped
around the tin the paste on the other end of the label causing it to adhere to the
first part of the label. As the fork F1 is depressed the fork F2 is raised retaining
the tins behind 1" until the cam has released the arm F when the rocking frame
is returned by the spring F5 to its normal position allowing the next tin to take
the place of the tin P¹. As the tin continues its movement along the platform
beneath the band M further pressure is put upon the label and it is delivered at
the end of the platform ready for packing. As the main shaft E rotates the
worm acting through the several connections raises the bottom of the label
case the required distance.
