Abstract: Self-adhesive labels mounted on a backing strip are formed into fan-folded sets or stacks and are loaded directly from the fan-folding machine into an open four-sided cassette. The cassettes are made of cardboard, and after they are loaded with fan-folded labels, they are enclosed either by the addition of a fifth side or by wrapping. The cassette packages are then transported to the location where labels are to be applied to products moving along a conveyor. The fan-folded labels are supported in an open L-shaped rack which is tilted and which is of sufficient length to hold at least two sets or cassettes of fan-folded labels side by side. The labels are fed directly into a standard type of label dispenser which applies the labels to products as they are moving along a conveyor line. As labels are used up, the free end of the first stack of fan-folded labels may be spliced to the second stack of labels so that the high speed labeling machine does not have to be stopped for re-loading a fresh reel of labels, but the labeling process may continue without downtime.

Abstract translation: 安装在背衬条上的自粘标签形成风扇折叠的组合或堆叠，并直接从风扇折叠机装载到开放的四面盒中。 盒子由纸板制成，在装有风扇折叠标签之后，它们通过添加第五面或通过包裹来封闭。 然后，盒式包装被运输到标签将被施加到沿输送机移动的产品的位置。 扇形折叠的标签被支撑在开放的L形齿条中，其倾斜并且具有足够的长度以并排保持至少两个或多个扇形折叠标签的盒或盒。 标签直接送入标准类型的标签分配器，当标签沿着输送线移动时，将标签应用于产品。 当标签被用尽时，第一叠扇形折叠标签的自由端可以拼接到第二堆叠标签上，使得高速贴标机不必停止以重新装载新卷标签， 但标签过程可能会延续而不会停机。
