Patent ID: 8025757

Claim:
A method for coupling pre-printed labels to a continuous mesh tube comprising the steps of: transporting said continuous mesh tube through a powered roller, said powered roller being attached to a frame; and transporting said continuous mesh tube through a second powered roller, said second powered roller being attached to said frame on the same horizontal plane as said powered roller and is oriented parallel to said powered roller; transporting said continuous mesh tube using a guiding assembly located within said frame, said guiding assembly placed between said powered roller and said second powered roller; wherein said guiding assembly contains at least two free spinning guiding assembly support rollers located on the same horizontal plane and oriented parallel to each other, with at least one said guiding assembly support roller coupled to said powered roller and another said guiding assembly support roller coupled to said second powered roller; wherein said continuous mesh tube is transported by passing said guiding assembly through the inside wall of said continuous mesh tube through an open end of the said continuous mesh tube, and the tube wall of said continuous mesh tube passes between said support rollers and said powered roller and said second powered roller; wherein said guiding assembly is supported horizontally and vertically within said frame using at least two said guiding assembly support rollers coupled with at least two frame mounted support rollers or by coupling one said guiding assembly support roller to said powered roller and coupling another said guiding assembly support roller to said second powered roller; labeling said continuous mesh tube by inserting a band containing pre-printed labels between said powered roller and said mesh tube, and when said powered roller rotates, said band and said mesh tube passes between, and are pressed by said powered roller and said guide assembly support roller.
