Abstract

A hand-operated device for applying adhesive labels to an object to be labelled. The labels are carried on a backing strip which is moved intermittently around a deflecting edge such that a label is removed from the backing strip at each feed step. A pressure member serves to apply the label so removed to the object to be labelled and the pressure member and deflecting edge are mounted for movement about a fixed pivot during the feed. A pusher member mounted for movement about a fixed pivot transports the label from the deflecting edge to the pressure member while bearing against the adhesive face of the label.
