Spool-la′bel-ing ma-chine′.

A machine for sticking the labels on spools of cotton, etc.

Spool-Labeling machine.

In that illustrated, the spools are delivered consecutively from a trough C into the peripheral pockets b b of a cylinder B, which is caused to rotate by the engagement of a catch K on the lever J. E is a paste delivery roller, and D a pasting-roller, which is brought in contact with the end of each spool as it passes by; G is a tube containing the labels, which are pressed downward by a weight, but held within the tube by a catch at each side; this tube drops by gravity at each backward movement of the lever J, bringing the lowermost label in contact with the pasted end of the spool, by which it is drawn between the catches and, passing under the roller I, is pressed securely against the spools. The arm J lifts the label-carrier out of the way at each backward movement of the lever J.
