Abstract:
A printing module configured to print a label on a curved surface of an article includes an expandable printing mechanism configured to be expanded to an open configuration for receiving the article or contracted to a closed configuration placing the curved surface in an operative position with respect to a print head and an article moving assembly configured to grasp and hold the article and effect relative movement between the curved surface and the print head. The printing mechanism includes contact elements, such as rollers, that contact or otherwise engage the article when the printing mechanism is in the closed configuration and maintain the curved surface in the operative position with respect to the print head during relative movement between the curved surface and the print head.

Claim (Index 10):
The apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein\n the first support element comprises a roller bracket having an upper flange, a lower flange, and a web extending between the upper and lower flanges, and wherein the first roller and the second roller are rotatably mounted between the first and second flanges; the second support element comprises a print head bracket having an upper flange, a lower flange, and a web extending between the upper and lower flanges, the roller bracket and the print head bracket being oriented such that the webs of the roller bracket and the print head bracket are generally parallel to one another; and the roller bracket and the print head bracket are pivotably mounted to a common pivot shaft defining the common pivot axis so that the roller bracket and the print head bracket are pivotable with respect to each other in a hinge-wise fashion about the pivot shaft between the open configuration and the printing configuration.
