1. A label attaching apparatus having an attaching position in which a label is attached to an external peripheral surface of a test tube, comprising:
- supplying means including a holding mechanism which holds the test tube in a standing attitude, and an elevating mechanism which moves up and down the holding mechanism between the attaching position and a waiting position in which the holding mechanism is receded above from the attaching position;
attaching means for rotating the test tube having been moved down to the attaching position by the supplying means in a circumferential direction of the test tube, and attaching the label to the external peripheral surface of the test tube by winding the label around the external peripheral surface; and

Abstract
A label attaching apparatus includes a supplying mechanism, an attaching mechanism, and a label supplying mechanism. The supplying mechanism has a holding mechanism which holds a test tube in a standing attitude, and an elevating mechanism which moves up and down the holding mechanism between an attaching position and a waiting position in which the holding mechanism is receded above from the attaching position. The attaching mechanism rotates the test tube having been moved down to the attaching position in a circumferential direction of the test tube, and attaches a label to an external peripheral surface of the test tube by winding the label around the external peripheral surface. The label supplying mechanism supplies the label to the attaching mechanism.
