Device and process for the splicing of label bands
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A device for the splicing of label bands, comprising:
- a conveying device for moving a first forward label band and a second trailing label band forward along a transport path (W);
a splicing station for exerting a splicing pressure during the conveying; and
a label-removing device for the formation of a splicing area through the removal of at least a portion of a label from the trailing end of the forward label band, said label-removing device disposed in front of the splicing station in a direction of transport.

Abstract
A process and a device for the splicing of label bands having a conveying device for the forward movement of a first forward label band and of a second trailing label band along a transport path, and a splicing station for exerting a splicing pressure during the transport. In order to ensure that the splicing can be carried out reliably and precisely, even at high band speeds there is provided within the transport path in front of the splicing station, a separating device for the formation of a defined end edge on the trailing end of the forward label band.

17. A process for the splicing of label bands, comprising:
-
providing a splicing station; providing a forward, first label band having a plurality of labels thereon; advancing the first label band along a transport path; producing an end edge of the forward label band in the transport path; providing a trailing, second label band having a plurality of labels thereon; advancing the second label band along the transport path; after producing the end edge of the forward label band and while advancing the first and second label bands along the transport path, splicing the second label band to the first label band at the splicing station; and before the splicing and while advancing the forward, first and trailing, second label bands along the transport path, producing a label-free splicing area on the forward, first label band by removing at least a portion of a label from the forward, first label band. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A process for the splicing of label bands, comprising:
-
providing a splicing station; providing a forward, first label band having a plurality of labels thereon; advancing the first label band along a transport path; producing an end edge of the forward label band in the transport path; providing a trailing, second label band having a plurality of labels thereon; advancing the second label band along the transport path; after producing the end edge of the forward label band and while advancing the first and second label bands along the transport path, splicing the second label band to the first label band at the splicing station; and after the splicing, determining the distance of the labels positioned immediately before and immediately after the splicing area and using the determined distance to control a subsequent labeling process.
