Abstract
An apparatus for inserting labels into the blow mold cavity of an injection-blow molding machine, which includes a carriage, a label transfer mechanism on the carriage which is made up of a label holder on a curvilinear translator mechanism, and a mechanism for moving the carriage reciprocally. Also, a method for labeling containers, formed in an injection blow molding machine in which the blow mold opens before the injection mold and a label is inserted into the blow mold cavity during the resulting hiatus before parison transfer.
