Abstract

A labeling device is described with the aid of which self-adhering labels (6) can be imprinted, dispensed and attached to articles. The device includes a printing mechanism (16) having printing types (27) and a means for inking the printing types which includes a pivot member (21) rotatably mounted about a pivot pin (22) and an inking roll (26) which is connected to said member (21) and which prior to each printing operation by pivoting of the pivot member (21) is rolled along the printing types (27) for transferring ink. The inking roll (26) is mounted in an inking roll holder (25) which is adapted to be fitted onto the pivot member (21) in a direction extending radially with respect to the pivot axis (22) of the pivot member (21). At the contact face between the inking roll holder (25) and the pivot member (21) detent means (35, 36) are disposed which secure the inking roll holder (25) in the fitted position on the pivot member (21). The inking roll holder (25) secures the inking roll (26) in a direction extending tangentially to a circle about the pivot axis (22) spaced from the area of which the inking roll holder (25) is fitted onto the pivot member (21).
