Abstract:
A method of labeling products includes providing a labeling machine, performing on command, by a splicing device, a splicing between a first splicing region, obtained from a backing ribbon being wound onto a first winding element, and a second splicing region, which is formed on a connection element that is connected to a second winding element, cutting on command, by a first cutting device, said backing ribbon at the portion that extends between said first splicing region and the backing ribbon wound onto the first winding element, and continuously splicing the backing ribbon of the adhesive labels unwound from the feeder spools and of the backing ribbon being wound onto the winding elements, cutting said backing ribbon, by a first cutting device, simultaneously or after the splice between said first splicing region and said second splicing region on the part of said first splicing device, and labeling said products with said labels.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of labeling products with labels, comprising providing a labeling machine including:\n a feeder assembly for a backing ribbon that supports a plurality of labels, said feeder assembly comprising at least two feeder spools and a device for the automatic splicing of the backing ribbons of the adhesive labels unwound from said feeder spools, an assembly for applying said labels on products to be labeled, a takeup assembly for taking up the backing ribbon, said takeup assembly of the backing ribbon comprising a first cutting device, a first splicing device and at least two winding elements for said backing ribbon, a first cutting and splicing station that supports said first cutting device and said first splicing device, and a device for accumulating the backing ribbon arranged upstream of said first cutting device and of said first splicing device, the method further comprising: performing on command, by said splicing device, a splicing between a first splicing region, obtained from a backing ribbon being wound onto a first winding element, and a second splicing region, which is formed on a connection element that is connected to a second winding element, cutting on command, by said first cutting device, said backing ribbon at the portion that extends between said first splicing region and the backing ribbon wound onto the first winding element, and continuously splicing the backing ribbon of the adhesive labels unwound from the feeder spools and of the backing ribbon being wound onto the winding elements, cutting said backing ribbon, by said first cutting device, simultaneously or after the splice between said first splicing region and said second splicing region on the part of said first splicing device, and labeling said products with said labels.
