DIONAL DITUITIVATION.
A New or Improved Appliance or Apparatus for Amfixing Labels Over
Stoppers or their Equivalent of Bottles.
I, CHARLES COULSON, of 82, Tong Street, Dudley Hill, near Bradford, in the
County of York, Engine Tenter, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:--
This invention relates to a new or improved appliance or apparatus more
particularly applicable for affixing that class of label over the stoppers, corks
or the like of bottles in which the label extends down the neck of the bottle on
opposite sides.
For this purpose I employ a label holder adapted to hold a pile or supply of
labels. This label holder is made to approximately fit the top of the neck of
the bottle and when placed thereon brings the centre of the labels concentric
or thereabout with the stopper or neck of the bottle. The wings or sides of the
label project through slots or openings in the sides of the holder and suitable
pressers are hinged or pivoted to the holder at the back of the sides or wings of
the labels. The extremities of these pressers are pivoted to connecting pieces
coupling them to a suitable bridge-piece or handle. The holder is connected to
the bridge piece or handle by a spring or compressable connection so that when
the presser is pressed over the bottle neck the further movement of the handle
forces the said pressers towards the sides of the bottle neck and presses the sides
or wings of the lowermost label against the sides of the bottle neck which has
previously been covered with paste or other adhesive material to cause the label
to adhere. When the pressure is removed the remaining labels spring back to
approximately their normal position and a bent wire or other arm fixed to the
bridge piece or handle may be provided on each side to bring them completely
back against the presser. The said arms also serve to retain the supply of labels
in position.
Labels with more than two wings may be secured by using an additional
presser on the apparatus operated in a similar way for cach additional wing.

1, CHARLES COULSON, of 82, Tong Street, Dudley Hill, near Bradford, in the
County of York, Engine Tenter, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
[Price Sd.]

page_text: and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to a new or improved appliance or apparatus more
particularly applicable for affixing that class of label over the stoppers, corks
or the like in bottles in which the label extends down the neck of the bottle on
opposite sides.
To fully describe my invention, reference is made to the accompanying sheet
of drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar figures of
reference indicate corresponding parts in each of the views.
Figure 1, represents a plan view.
Figure 2, represents a side elevation and
Figure 3, represents an underside view of my improved appliance.
Figure 4 is a section of Figure 2 on the broken line a, b.
Figure 5, is a similar view to Figure 1 showing the appliance with the parts
in the position they occupy when affixing a label.
Figure 6, is a separate view of one of the labels.
The label holder 2 is made to hold a supply of labels 3 and it approximately
fits the top of the bottle neck 4 (Figure 5) and when placed thereon brings the
centre of the label concentric or thereabouts with the stopper or neck of the
bottle. The wings or sides 6 of the labels project through openings 7 in the
holder and pressers 8 are hinged to the holder above the wings of the labels.
The extremities of these pressers are hinged to connecting pieces 9 coupling
them to the bridge piece or handle 12 having a central hole 13 through which
the rod 14 on the top of the holder freely passes. A spring 15 on the rod 14
is provided to normally keep the parts in the position shown with the handle 12
pressed against the collar 16 on the rod 14.
When the holder is placed over the bottle neck and the handle pressed down
to the position shown in Figure 5 the pressers are forced towards the sides of the
bottle neck and cause the wings of the lowermost label to adhere thereto; the
paste or other adhesive material having been previously applied to the bottle
neck. When the pressure is removed the remaining labels spring back to
approximately their former position, and the wire rods 20, secured to the
handle 12 and working through guides eyes in the lugs 22 on the holder 2,
have arms 23 which extend across the wings of the labels and bring them
completely back against the pressers. The arms 23 also serve to retain the
supply of labels in position.
い
The interior faces of the pressers may be more or less covered with india rubber
or other elastic material.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
1. A label affixing appliance adapted to hold a number of labels constructed
and operating substantially as herein shown and described.
2. The combination with the holder 2, of the pressers 8 hinged thereto, the
connecting pieces 9, the handle 12 and spring 15, all arranged and operating
substantially as herein shown and described and illustrated in the accompanying
drawings.
